Hydraulic hoses are the lifeblood of heavy equipment across many essential sectors, enabling critical systems to perform under pressure—literally. At PIRTEK, we support a wide range of industries with fast, reliable service that keeps equipment moving and operations running smoothly. Below, we explore the top five industries where hydraulic hoses are indispensable and how PIRTEK helps minimize downtime in each.
1. Construction: Powering Equipment on the Front Lines
From excavators and backhoes to cranes and bulldozers, the construction industry relies heavily on hydraulic systems. These machines perform high-load tasks that depend on hoses to deliver consistent pressure. PIRTEK provides on-site hose replacement and preventive maintenance to keep construction projects on schedule. With our 1-Hour ETA and 24/7/365 availability, we’re ready whenever a job site hits a snag.
Common Hose Applications:
- Lifting arms
- Hydraulic cylinders
- Concrete pumping
- Jackhammers and compactors
2. Mining: Built for Harsh Conditions
The mining sector demands equipment that withstands abrasive environments, extreme temperatures, and high pressures. Hydraulic hoses here aren’t just components—they’re safety-critical systems. PIRTEK offers MSHA-certified hoses and trained technicians who understand the unique challenges of underground and surface mining.
Common Hose Applications:
- Drill rigs
- Hydraulic shovels
- Ventilation and dust suppression systems
- Conveyor belts
3. Manufacturing: Supporting Lean Operations
In manufacturing, efficiency is everything. A failed hydraulic hose on a press or assembly line can mean hours of lost production. PIRTEK supports manufacturers with custom hose assemblies and on-site service to restore uptime quickly. Our tagging and preventative maintenance programs help manufacturers plan better and prevent disruptions.
Common Hose Applications:
- Injection molding machines
- Hydraulic presses
- Automated conveyor systems
- Robotic arms
4. Agriculture: Field-Proven Reliability
Modern farming equipment—from tractors to combine harvesters—relies on hydraulic hoses to perform a variety of tasks, from lifting loads to operating attachments. PIRTEK provides rugged, oil-resistant hoses that can handle dusty environments, temperature swings, and harsh working conditions common in agriculture.
Common Hose Applications:
- Hydraulic steering
- Sprayer booms
- Bale loaders
- Front-end loaders
5. Waste & Recycling: Performance in High-Cycle Environments
Waste management and recycling operations run daily and demand durable hoses that handle repetitive, high-pressure use. Compactors, crushers, and hydraulic arms are only as reliable as the hoses powering them. PIRTEK’s Endurance Series® hoses and our mobile service fleet keep these operations on track, day or night.
Common Hose Applications:
- Garbage truck lifting arms
- Compactors
- Shredders and balers
- Sorting systems
Hydraulic hoses are a small component with a big impact. At PIRTEK, we understand that when a hose fails, the whole operation suffers. That’s why we offer industry-specific solutions, emergency on-site service, and top-tier products to meet the demands of every sector we serve. Whether it’s a construction site or a manufacturing floor, PIRTEK is there to get you back up and running.
