Garbage trucks must stand up to difficult and repeated use, often under harsh conditions, but even the toughest trucks are only as strong as the hydraulic and pneumatic hoses that feed them. Hose ruptures and failures mean downtime - loss of money for haulers and potential dissatisfaction for municipal customers. Still worse, leaking hoses can cause substantial environmental damage and costly remediation. Hydraulic hoses and fittings connect components using hoses, pipes, and tubes to contain and direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the system while preventing leaks and maintaining pressure, These flexible tubes are crucial in directing the intense hydraulic power needed to operate garbage trucks, lifting and dumping mechanisms, compactors, balers, shredders, dozers, and conveyor systems. They may also be used in other components and systems within refuse trucks, such as power steering and brake systems and other hydraulic functions. Hydraulic hoses can last years if operated correctly, but, over time or due to system failures or environmental factors, may experience wear and tear, including abrasion, degradation, or leakage. Regular inspections and preventive maintenance can help identify signs of damage or deterioration. It is important to replace hoses if they exhibit signs of cracking, bulging, leaks, or if their integrity is compromised in any way. By replacing hoses at appropriate intervals, the risk of sudden failures and costly downtime can be minimized. That's why it's important to keep a supply of heavy-duty replacement hydraulic hoses on-hand in every repair shop or fleet maintenance center.
