Protecting equipment and extending its serviceable life is critical to any business. This is especially true when dealing with hydraulic hoses and other vital hose connections.
Investing in quality hose protection can increase the life of equipment, prevent damage, increase visibility and serve as a trusted containment solution. Learn more about these benefits and how selecting a quality hose protector can provide long-term financial savings.
Hose protection prevents premature wear of hoses. This lowers maintenance and overall costs by reducing the need for early hose replacement.
Along with reduced wear on critical hoses, hose protection reduces the chances of puncturing, pinching, environmental damage and impact damage of hoses. It also lowers the risk of serious accidents, hazards or spills during hydraulic and other operations.
Caplugs offers Safeplast™ and Pig's Tail™ spiral wraps and hose protectors that properly encase and safeguard your hoses and cables.
Unexpected downtime due to hose or cable failures can be costly. Choosing high-quality hose protection minimizes the risk of such interruptions, not only by protecting hoses from damage, but making it clear when it is time to replace a hose protector.
The SPAB Series (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 helps operators more quickly and easily identify high-wear points on the hose protector to fix before serious damage occurs.
When using equipment that houses oil and other fluids, a rupture or a small leak in a hose can lead to big problems. To avoid issues, it’s essential to have a quality hose protection and containment solution.
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 are hazardous to the environment.
With Safe-Sleeves, any smaller leaks can be contained, preventing unplanned spills. These sleeves offer burst and containment protection tested to 400 bar (5,800 PSI) and protect hydraulic hoses from extreme temperatures and operators from potential harm.
Caplugs also offers thousands of caps and plugs, including service plugs for food line operations. Plugs for industrial environments, which can prevent the residual leaking of oil and chemicals are also available in several sizes to fit a range of hoses, service lines and hydraulic fittings.
In the event of a high-pressure rupture, hose restraints are designed to hold lines in place and prevent dangerous whiplash, offering invaluable protection to workers.
SPSWS Series (Safeplast Safe-Whipstop) is an ideal tool for preventing whiplash and unintentional disconnects, holding low-pressure hydraulic lines in place (hoses up to 7,250 PSI - 500 bar).
Don’t leave your employees and equipment at risk around these pressurized lines. Get consistent, dependable protection for hoses and workers with trusted whiplash products.
Custom hose protectors provide several benefits, specifically for those who require specific lengths of hose, distinct colors and further customization.
With custom hose protection you can choose length, cut and different branding options based on need. Products like Pig’s Tail feature a right cut design, with rounded and beveled edges and are available in various diameters and carton quantities to meet specifications and high-volume need.
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.
Whatever your dimensional, design or volume requirements, there is typically a custom hose option that can help.
Based on equipment, operational and safety needs many companies require specific colors or other customizations for their hose protection.
Our SPDU Series (Safeplast Safety-Spiral & DUO) is an ideal option that 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 in low-light situations.
