Our Hydraulic Hose Services
- Cat hoses are available for all makes and models of equipment, with 40+ hose types and more than 3000 coupling options, with market-leading parts availability. Caterpillar couplings cover 96% of common industry fittings.
- Cat hoses exceed the SAE pressure impulse test requirement by 100%. XT hose is made in the USA and impulse tested up to 1,000 cycles to ensure long hose life.
- Cat hoses also have one half of the SAE bend radius. With more flexibility and requiring less bend force, it’s easier to install and offers improved performance in flexing applications.
- Abrasion resistant hose covers are available, including ToughGuard™ for the harshest operating conditions.
- Caterpillar is the only OEM to make its own hoses and has been doing so for more than 50 years.
- Stringent quality and contamination control processes ensure high-quality components.
- Cat dealer technicians are uniquely skilled to assemble and install hose and coupling products on almost all brands of equipment, using the latest tooling, assembly instructions, routing standards, inspection techniques and contamination control processes.
- Cat hoses are available through dealer locations, assembled by qualified hose experts at branch locations and delivered quickly.
With our prompt response time and vast inventory of quality hoses and fitments, you can trust us to help you find the perfect hydraulic hose solution for your equipment. If we don’t have the right hose in stock, we provide custom hose manufacturing services to meet your specific needs. Our unbeatable expertise paired with rugged designs and lasting solutions means we can serve as your trusted partner.
Cat® Hose Replacements
A durable, long-lasting hose increases your machine’s life span and performance. Authentic Cat parts fit perfectly and deliver the high-quality function the brand is known for.
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 our hoses also meet or exceed Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 100R standards, so you get the best quality possible.
Our hoses are coated with a protective polyethylene cover and tested for endurance. Plus, couplings create a lasting connection that’s resistant to wear.
