HYDRAULIC HOSES & FITTINGS

Fittings and Hose Protection: MAMMUT Innovates for Greater Durability and Performance

When it comes to snow removal equipment, durability, lightness, and performance are essential, especially for hydraulic fittings and hoses, which play a crucial role in the proper functioning of machinery. MAMMUT enhances the protection and durability of hydraulic hoses to ensure optimal performance, even under extreme conditions.

The Limitations of Standard Fittings and Hoses in Snow Removal Equipment

In the snowplow industry, JIC fittings are widely used. These fittings, consisting of two metal cones, pose a significant challenge: their seal can easily be compromised by over-tightening or the presence of contaminants such as sand grains. If one cone is damaged, the entire fitting and associated hose must be replaced, leading to high costs and significant downtime.

Hoses are often equipped with standard rubber protective sleeves that provide limited protection against abrasion, especially when in contact with steel or ice. Once the sleeve is damaged, the hose becomes vulnerable to rapid degradation, requiring costly replacements.

MAMMUT’s Solutions: Hydraulic Fittings and Hoses Designed for Durability

MAMMUT has adopted enhanced solutions to improve the durability and performance of its snow removal equipment. The use of flat-face fittings (O-Ring Face Seal) ensures a reliable seal with a rubber O-ring. This design reduces the risk of leaks associated with over-tightening, as the seal is achieved when the metal surfaces meet. This minimizes the need for retightening, reduces leak risks, and increases the overall reliability of the equipment.

For hose protection, MAMMUT has chosen high-quality sleeves designed to provide optimal protection against abrasion, particularly from ice and rough surfaces. These sleeves are robust and durable, featuring a wear indicator system. The color-change feature allows users to proactively monitor the sleeve’s condition, signaling when a replacement is needed to prevent further damage.

A Proactive Approach to Better Durability and Performance

This proactive maintenance approach extends the lifespan of hydraulic hoses while significantly reducing costs associated with unexpected repairs. MAMMUT is committed to providing high-performance, durable, and easy-to-maintain snow removal equipment. Innovations in fittings and hose protection offer better preparation for the harshest working environments.

Conclusion: MAMMUT, Durability in the Service of Performance

With MAMMUT’s solutions, you benefit from hydraulic fittings and hoses designed to withstand extreme conditions while delivering unmatched performance. Whether through flat-face fittings for optimal sealing or robust sleeves with wear indicators, MAMMUT helps you keep your snow removal equipment in top condition, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
