Cat hoses are designed to route liquids and gases through machine systems. These hoses are fabricated from superior materials to withstand application specific pressures, vibration tolerances, and flow requirements for Cat heavy-duty equipment. Cat hydraulic hose and couplings are subjected to the most rigorous testing processes in the industry. Every Cat hose and coupling combination is tested as a system to ensure a perfect fit that yields maximum safety and dependability.
Cat compact hoses also work at half the SAE bend radius, allowing tighter routing in a wide variety of applications.
The construction of the hose is made from a synthetic rubber tube; two braids of special high tensile steel wire reinforcement separated by a synthetic rubber layer. The outer cover is oil, weather, and abrasion resistant synthetic rubber.
