Hoses & Couplings

Your heavy equipment’s hydraulic hoses and couplings must withstand the harshest operating demands every day — high pressure, temperature swings, and contamination all wear down these components over time. Businesses can lose days of production when choosing low-quality parts that cannot withstand these requirements. High-performance Cat^® replacement parts keep your equipment running when you’re pushing deadlines and cannot afford disruptions or downtime.

At Thompson Tractor, we offer customers across Alabama and Northwest Florida a complete lineup of replacement hose components and services. We have various locations across the region that can handle your servicing requirements, whether you need a simple repair or an entire custom rebuild on the spot.

High-Quality Hydraulic Hoses and Couplings From Thompson Tractor

Caterpillar manufactures high-quality hoses and couplings according to strict quality standards based on decades of performance data. The manufacturing is not just guesswork — it’s superior engineering based on millions of operating hours for all types of Cat heavy equipment.

Thompson Tractor stocks dozens of hose types and thousands of coupling combinations. We also have manufacturer-certified tools and the capability to build custom assemblies to your machine’s specifications. Every hose exceeds SAE 100R industry standards and undergoes repeated impulse cycles during testing.

Cat Hoses — Unmatched Quality for Your Fleet

A durable, long-lasting hose increases your machine’s lifespan and performance. Authentic Cat parts fit perfectly and deliver the high-quality function the brand is known for.

Caterpillar manufactures 40+ hose types and more than 3,000 coupling options. We offer low, medium, and high-pressure hoses in various styles and sizes to fit a range of equipment. Our hoses work with engines, air brake lines, and heating and cooling systems.

All Cat hoses also meet or exceed Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 100R standards, so you get the best quality possible. XT™ hoses are made in the USA and impulse tested up to 1,000 cycles, meaning you get the best performance with a long hose life.

Our hoses are coated with a protective polyethylene cover and tested for endurance. Cat ToughGuard™ hoses are specially made to operate in the harshest conditions with abrasion-resistant features.

For flexing applications, Cat hoses also have one-half of the SAE bend radius. This characteristic adds flexibility, and less bend force is needed. This flexibility also provides improved performance and easier installations.

Cat couplings are made with high-strength steel treated with heat. This provides durability, corrosion resistance, and longer-lasting connections. Caterpillar also manufactures reusable couplings for high-pressure hoses of large diameters.
