Top Tips for Extending the Life of your Hoses

Hydraulic hoses will eventually wear or suffer damage. This can cause contamination as dirt and substances can be transferred through the hose and into the equipment attached.

What to look for during inspections

By performing regular inspections, you can determine when hydraulic hoses need to be replaced and there are several areas to look for during an inspection:

• Twisted hoses
• Kinked or crushed hoses
• Corroded or cracked fittings
• Abrasions and cuts along the outer hose cover
