Protecting equipment and extending its serviceable life is critical to any business. This is especially true when dealing with hydraulic hoses and other vital connections.
Investing in quality hose protection such as spiral wrap, hose sleeves, hose bend restrictors or other protective hose parts can increase the life of these parts, prevent damage, increase visibility in overnight construction operations and serve as a trusted containment solution.
Choosing quality hose protection from leading brands also ensures you receive a consistent product, delivering an accurate fit and with the ability to deliver the protection you need at scale. Learn more about these benefits and how selecting a quality hose solution can provide peace of mind and long-term financial savings.
Using quality hose protection to secure hoses prevents premature wear, protecting hoses from needing to be replaced earlier than expected. In turn, this can lower maintenance costs by reducing the need for or lessening the typical pace of hose replacement.
Along with the reduced wear on these critical hoses, hose protection reduces the opportunity for puncture, pinch or impact damage, which can lower the risk of serious accidents, preventing both downtime in the field and the creation of any unnecessary hazards or spills.
Caplugs offers Safeplast™ and Pig's Tail™ spiral wraps and hose protectors, which encase hoses and cables, safeguarding them from wear, environmental elements and accidental impacts.
Unexpected downtime due to hose or cable failures can be costly. Choosing high-quality hose protection minimizes the risk of such interruptions, keeping your operations running smoothly.
One popular damage prevention solution is our SPAB Series (Safeplast Safe-Spiral ABRA). Safeplast Safe-Spiral ABRA is designed with a wear indicator – a yellow interior lining and black exterior that allows the yellow layer to show through after excessive exterior wear. Made from high-density polyethylene, this visual wear indicator is a boon for operators who can more quickly and easily identify high-wear points on the spiral wrap and intervene on potential failures before serious damage occurs.
While protecting equipment is a top priority, the safety of employees and the environment is also of the utmost importance.
When working with oil and other fluids, a rupture or a small leak can lead to big problems. To avoid issues, it’s essential to have a quality hose protection and containment solution from a trusted team.
Safeplast Safe-Sleeves are ideal for hydraulic fluid containment and overall containment hose protection. These sleeves are resistant to mechanical stress and can be used to prevent oil and other organic product leaks that may be hazardous to the environment.
By using Safe-Sleeves, any smaller leaks are easily contained, preventing unplanned spills. These sleeves also offer burst and containment protection tested to 400 bar (5,800 PSI) and are a great choice to protect hydraulic hoses from extreme temperatures and operators from potential harm.
Caplugs offers thousands of caps and plugs, including service plugs for food line operations. We also offer plugs for industrial environments, which can prevent the residual leaking of oil and chemicals. These are each available in a variety of sizes to fit a range of hoses, service lines and hydraulic fittings.
In the event of a high-pressure rupture, our SPSWS Series (Safeplast Safe-Whipstop) hose restraint is designed to hold lines in place and prevent dangerous whiplash, offering invaluable protection to workers.
Safeplast Safe-Whipstop is an ideal tool for intentional disconnects as well, holding low-pressure hydraulic lines in place (hoses up to 7,250 PSI - 500 bar).
Don’t leave your employees at risk around these pressurized lines. Get consistent, dependable protection for hoses and workers with Caplugs’ whipstop protection.
Working with a trusted partner like Caplugs also means you get the benefits of customization and receive a perfect-fit solution to meet your specific hose protection needs.
With our Pig’s Tail and Safeplast lines, you can choose from several custom hose protection options. Pig’s Tail products feature a right cut design, with rounded and beveled edges and is available in various diameters and carton quantities for high-volume needs.
Safeplast hose guard features a left cut design and a range of standard diameter options, and is available in small pre-cut quantities or can be cut to length to meet your specific needs.
Our SPDU Series (Safeplast Safety-Spiral & DUO) features two-tone printing (striping) for increased visibility and safety. Safeplast Safety-Spiral comes in traditional black and yellow caution tape coloring, is available in 100-foot cartons and comes in three standard dimensions. Safeplast DUO can be manufactured in any color to match your specific application, need or brand standards.
Caplugs also offers unique products like Pig’s Tail NightGlow Spiral Wrap, which glows in dark or dimly lit conditions. This can be used to make wrapped hoses or service lines more visible at night and low-light situations.
