Hydraulic hoses are rated by SAE standard (SAE 100R1 through R17, broadly, covering different pressure classes and construction types) and must match both the working pressure of your circuit and the specific fitting type at each end. Using an underrated hose is a real safety risk — a hose rated below system pressure can burst under load. We make hoses to your exact length and fitting specification, with correct pressure rating for your application.
Hose Types We Supply
| SAE Rating | Typical Pressure Class | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| SAE 100R1/R2 | Up to ~250 bar | Forklift, tractor, general low-medium pressure circuits |
| SAE 100R12/R13 | Up to ~350 bar | Excavator, backhoe loader main circuits |
| SAE 100R15 | Up to ~420 bar | High-pressure crane and heavy excavator applications |
| SAE 100R17 | Compact, high-pressure | Tight-routing applications needing a smaller hose diameter |
Always match hose rating to your machine's actual system pressure, not just the port size. WhatsApp your machine model and hose length/fitting details for a made-to-order quote.
Why Correct Hose Specification Matters
Safety-Critical Component
An underrated hose is a genuine safety hazard — burst hoses under pressure can cause injury and always cause immediate machine downtime. We never supply a hose rated below your stated system pressure.
Made-to-Length
Hoses are cut and crimped to your exact required length — not sold as generic standard lengths that need field modification.
Correct Fitting Match
We match fitting type (JIC, ORFS, BSP, metric) at each end to your machine's actual ports — mismatched fittings are a common source of leaks even with a correctly-rated hose.
Fast Turnaround
Made-to-order hoses typically dispatch within 1-2 working days for common specifications, minimising machine downtime.
Signs a Hydraulic Hose Needs Replacement
A hose showing any of these signs should be replaced before it fails in service — a burst hose mid-operation is both a safety risk and an unplanned downtime event.
