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 ToughGuard™ Hose features an abrasion resistant cover for the harshest operating conditions. It surpasses over 2 million SAE abrasion test cycles providing superior resistance against the number one cause of hose failure, abrasion.
The construction of the hose is made from an oil-resistant synthetic rubber inner tube, two plies of braided wire reinforcement, and a synthetic rubber cover with a special ToughGuard film outer sheath for high abrasion resistance. A woven or braided ply of suitable material may be used over the tube and/or over the wire.
