Hydraulics are used around us every day, but most people are somewhat unaware of all the places they are used, or how they work.
A hydraulic hose is engineered to transfer hydraulic fluid through the components of a hydraulic system, such as valves, tools, and actuators. Specific adapters are used to ensure the hoses are connected correctly between these components, and ensuring the correct parts are selected is key to safe use. Hydraulic systems can operate from a low to a very high PSI, or pressure rating, depending what it is being used on. Applications can range from a log splitter or a piece of farm equipment, to a skid loader or an excavator on a construction site.
Whatever your use, Apache has you covered, from hydraulic hose to adapter products for your application — industrial, agricultural, or home equipment from a retailer.
