When a hydraulic hose assembly fails, you want to replace it quickly to get your machine back online. That's why many businesses purchase inexpensive hoses in bulk—so they always have an additional one on hand. However, you can improve your bottom line and avoid the need to store the extras by investing in high-quality, custom options instead, which come with the following advantages.

Why Should You Consider Custom Hydraulic Hose Assemblies?

1. Last Longer

Custom hoses are designed to fit the precise dimensions of the machine. Generic options are often much longer than they need to be, so they may tangle or get in the way. On the other hand, they might also be too short and have to be stretched tightly to fit, which puts undue wear on the material and can shorten their life spans. 

You don't face these issues with custom-fit hose assemblies, as their customization ensures they properly connect. Additionally, they are made with higher-quality materials and designed for durability and performance. 

2. Take Less Time to Replace

When you need to change a hydraulic hose, it can take time with a generic tube. This option often requires an alteration in length or hardware before connecting correctly. 

A custom hose assembly removes this additional task because it's personalized to meet your needs. Its size fits a particular machine, the connector syncs properly, and you can plug it in and continue working. In addition to the fact that it needs less frequent replacement, it shortens the amount of downtime your machine faces during replacement.

3. Improve Workplace Safety

Hydraulic leaks pose multiple safety issues for your workers. The fluid, which is both flammable and corrosive, is under high pressure. Therefore, it can spray a considerable distance. It poses a risk of fire and slip-and-fall accidents, and it could burn unprotected skin or cause blindness. Custom hoses are much less likely to leak because they tightly connect with the machines and thus pose fewer workplace safety risks.
