Hose assemblies are vital parts of the hydraulic systems found in construction machines like excavators and mini excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, telehandlers and cranes. It’s the hydraulics that enable the powerful movements of these machines. Periodic inspections are required to ensure hydraulic hose assemblies are always in the best condition possible. This works to prevent unexpected malfunctions and downtime by detecting when hydraulic hose repairs are required, and helps operators ensure the equipment is safe to use.

Without hydraulic systems, many industrial enterprises would come to a standstill. Most construction, agricultural and material handling machines rely on hydraulics to perform their functions, from excavators and small earthmovers to tractors, telehandlers, forklifts, mobile elevating work platforms and more. Regular maintenance is essential. Below, we offer some general tips on what to look out for when performing maintenance on hydraulic hose assemblies. To find information about the hose assemblies in specific machines, consult the owner’s manual.
