Hoses and Couplings for Sale
Hoses and couplings are essential components for heavy equipment performance and reliability. They are the lifeline of the hydraulic system, transporting fluid through the machine. They must endure extreme pressure and temperatures, creating a perfect seal and allowing for optimal machine performance.
Find the Right Heavy Equipment Hoses and Couplings for Your Application
Choosing the correct hose is important to ensure a tight seal that keeps hydraulic fluid pumping in the system while keeping dust, dirt and other contaminants out. We offer a full line of durable, heavy equipment couplings and hoses designed to protect your hydraulic system with exceptional strength and precision. If you need assistance finding the right parts for your machine and application, you can contact our experts online to find the perfect match.
Our inventory of Cat® hoses and couplings includes:
High- and Medium-Pressure Hydraulic Hoses
Our selection of high-pressure hydraulic hoses is designed for durability and is resistant to abrasion. They are built with multiple layers of high-tensile, braided or spiral-wound steel wire for reinforcement. This allows them to handle the extreme pressures needed for heavy lifting or powering attachments.
Cat high-pressure hoses are covered with synthetic rubber that provides exceptional resistance to abrasion, ozone and weathering. This ensures optimal performance in harsh environments.
Medium-pressure hoses are utilized for a range of control functions, like acting as pilot lines that send signals from the operator’s joysticks to the main hydraulic valves. They are built for superior flexibility, routing in tight spaces without kinking.
Return Line Hoses
Return line hoses are responsible for completing the hydraulic circuit by carrying low-pressure fluid from the actuators back to the tank, where it is filtered and cooled. These hoses usually run from cylinders and motors back to the reservoir. They are built with an internal lining that prevents flaking and delamination, protecting the tank and filter from debris.
Specialized Application Hoses
We also offer specialized options like suction hoses built to withstand a vacuum. They work as the primary connection between the hydraulic tank and the main pump. Our Cat suction hoses are designed with internal wire reinforcement to provide high collapse resistance, ensuring the pump gets a steady, uninterrupted flow of fluid to protect the system and keep it working optimally.
Why Genuine Cat® Couplings Make the Difference
Hydraulic couplings are the components at the end of a hose. They serve two key purposes:
- Provide a secure connection that firmly holds the hose in place
- Create a leakproof seal that both protects the hydraulic system from contaminants and safely contains the hydraulic fluid
These components must withstand high pressure and vibration to maintain the integrity of the hydraulic system. Cat couplings are machined to extremely tight tolerances with high-quality heat-treated steel, ensuring a tight fit and superior durability. They are also designed, manufactured and tested with hoses as a single system for maximum compatibility and reliability.
