Hydraulic hoses – The advantages of an integrated systems approach

Special proposition for mobile service operations

A Gates hose assembly is much more than the sum of its components, it is the combined result of a rigorous test regime and of a tightly controlled manufacturing process, both at Gates and at the point of assembly. To reduce the risk of premature failure due to variations in the assembly process, Gates has developed a special proposition for mobile service operations allowing them to benefit from the simplified and superior Global range of no-skive hoses and couplings. And thanks to the Gates Integrated System, mobile service operators can offer their customers the superior quality and performance that they deserve.

Factory-quality, no-skive assemblies – even in the field

In the field, every minute counts. In today’s environment, equipment, whether it be agricultural, construction or mining, simply cannot afford unnecessary downtime. This is why Gates has developed a range of small, portable and easy to use crimpers specifically designed for end-users on site. And since these simple, lightweight machines are designed as part of the Gates Integrated System Approach, end-users are assured of factory-quality, no-skive assemblies – even in the field.

Keep efficient, safe and compliant with the right training

Mixing and matching couplings and hoses from different manufacturers can lead to premature assembly failure, as hoses, couplings, assembly equipment and crimping tolerances from different vendors are never guaranteed to offer safe interchangeability. Improper assembly and installation can seriously compromise performance and human safety. If a hydraulic hose assembly fails, the assembler can be held accountable for damages, as stated by European legislation (2006/42/CE - ISO 4413:2010). To help you avoid material and personal hazards and liability issues, Gates Fluid Power Europe can provide you with expert information on safety issues affecting hydraulic hose assemblies through the Safe Hydraulics training programme.

So, with Gates’ Integrated Systems Approach coupled with our dedication to high-quality materials, advanced product features and first-class customer service, we are confident we can help to optimise your operations and bring downtime and maintenance costs substantially while keeping you efficient, safe and legally compliant.
