In fluid power applications, hose assemblies are one of the most common solutions for fluid transmission. However, they are not the only option - steel tube assemblies can be a valuable alternative for transmission of pressurized fluids, offering several advantages over hose assemblies.

Ensuring you have the right hydraulic hose for the job is crucial, especially when there are so many options to choose from. Parker Hannifin makes hose identification easy by printing vital information directly onto hoses in the form of laylines. These markings hold a wealth of information about a hose's capabilities and specifications, empowering you to make informed decisions about your hydraulic system.

In the world of hydraulics, bigger isn't always better. Just like Goldilocks and her porridge, a hose size needs to be just right to ensure optimal performance, prevent leaks, and safeguard your equipment. Too small and you risk flow restriction, leaks, and system damage; too large and you're looking at sluggish performance and reduced productivity. So, how do you ensure you get just the right fit?

Hydraulic hoses play a vital role in transferring fluids under high pressure in various applications and industries. However, with so many options available, it can be difficult to know which type is right for the job. This guide breaks down the main differences between the types of hydraulic hose so you can more easily identify which is best suited for your application.

In a wide variety of industries, hydraulic hoses play a pivotal role in power transfer and machine operation. Some industries may rely on daily hydraulic power consumption, causing increased wear and requiring regular service and replacement of parts. With an on-site hose crimper, you can save time and money by making the parts you need in-house. However, not all crimpers are built the same, and it is important to know your needs before making a crimper purchase. This comprehensive guide will explore the intricacies of hydraulic hose crimper selection, empowering you to make an informed decision about your system.

Proper hose routing is essential in maintaining the integrity of your hydraulic hose and preventing future damage that can lead to failure. A well-routed hose is properly fitted and installed, and has the appropriate space for regular maintenance and service. Here are some quick tips to keep your hydraulic hose in peak condition:

Hydraulic oil is the lifeblood of a hydraulic system, so it is important to keep oil clean and free of particulates. According to industry experts, 70-80% of hydraulic component failure is caused by dirty oil, resulting in downtime and loss of profits for you and your business.

In industries where safety, performance, and longevity are a top priority, Parker Hannifin has earned its reputation as the industry’s leading hydraulic hose supplier. However, even the best hoses can face challenges when exposed to damaging environments and demanding applications. To ensure you get the most out of your hose, proper installation and protection are essential. 

We've compiled a list of practical advice for installing and maintaining your hydraulic hose. We'll also introduce you to solutions available at your local Triad Technologies ParkerStore to enhance hose performance, safety, and longevity.
