    APPLICATIONS ACROSS INDUSTRIAL END MARKETS

    TELEHANDLERS

     

    The extensive exposure to sun, dirt, oil, and rain from a job site requires a unique combination of strength, durability, and rust resistance. Find that perfect combination in the TuffCoat coating that comes standard on MegaCrimp and GlobalSpiral couplings so your machinery can keep on working.

    WASTE REMOVAL TRUCKS

     

    Nothing gets dirty like a trash truck. And nothing has to stay in operation day in and day out like infrastructure service operations. Ensure fewer consumer service interruptions with the hydraulic powerhouse combination of MXT™ and MegaCrimp couplings. 

    SKID STEERS

     

    Digging and trenching is tough work, and the last thing you want is stop operations to have to change out a hose connection. Use the strength of up to 6,000 psi and beat the ozone and exposure to the elements with TuffCoat, backed by corrosion-resistance 5x more intense than industry standards.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Expand All / Collapse All

    Hydraulic couplings are components used to connect hoses to other hydraulic system components like pumps, cylinders, and valves. They are essential because they allow the efficient transfer of hydraulic fluid under high pressure.

    Choosing the right hydraulic coupling depends on several factors including the type of hydraulic system, the pressure and temperature requirements, the type of fluid used, and the compatibility with the hose and fittings.

    Common types of hydraulic couplings include crimped couplings, reusable couplings, quick-connect couplings, and threaded couplings.

    Signs that a hydraulic coupling needs to be replaced include visible wear or damage, significant corrosion, leaks, difficulty in connecting or disconnecting, and reduced system performance.

    If a hydraulic coupling fails, shut down the system immediately to prevent damage or injury. Inspect the coupling for the cause of failure, such as improper installation, incompatible components, or material fatigue. Replace the failed coupling with a suitable replacement and ensure proper installation before restarting the system.
