Working with any high-pressure hydraulic system carries a risk to limbs, life, equipment, and the environment.
UK and EU legislation stipulates that any hydraulic machinery, where operators are required to work within a one metre line-of-sight of hydraulic hosing, must be protected from potential hose failure.
This is typically achieved by fitting a special hose burst protection sleeving to the hydraulic hose assembly. Equipment like excavators, telescopic handlers, wheeled loaders and hydraulic power packs have protected hoses fitted during manufacture but it is essential that replacement hoses are also protected.
We sell burst protection sleeving in 30 metre coils. Our hose burst protection sleeving is a high abrasion strength and heat resistance woven ballistic Nylon which protects personnel against hose failures and subsequent high pressure oil jets.
Our burst protection sleeving stays intact at the highest operating temperatures and pressures treated with a heat and flame resistant coating. It is available in 8 sizes from 19mm up to 64mm inside diameter, with a nominal wall thickness of 1.1mm
