The Gates Safe Hydraulics Programme
Never underestimate the power of a hydraulic hose assembly under pressure.
Just having the world’s best hoses and couplings is not enough to ensure the safety of your hydraulic hose assemblies.
Improper assembly, installation or even storage can compromise performance and even human safety.
Did you know…
that mixing and matching of components of different sources that are not validated nor tested is impermissible (98/37/CE – EN 982)?
that the repair of hose assemblies is forbidden by law (98/37/CE – EN 982)?
that marking, indicating day and year of manufacture is obligatory (EN 982)?
that the lifetime of hose assemblies is indeed limited?
that fluids under pressure can cause injuries which can result in the loss of the injured body part or even death?
that the assembler can be held responsible for the consequences of a failed hydraulic hose assembly (98/37/CE – EN 982)?
