Different makes, models and years of excavators can have varying coupler positions on the excavator boom, which therefore require different hose lengths to reach and operate the attachment.
To derive an appropriate hose length, it is best to measure from your flat face couplers down to your quick hitch + add an additional length to reach the appropriate attachment + finally add some additional slack to allow for different crowd positions during use. The sum total of this should provide a fairly accurate sizing.
Alternatively, you could choose one of our default lengths that are typically suitable for excavators within each size class
1-3 Tonne - 1750mm
3-15 Tonne - 2000mm
16-25 Tonne - 3000mm
These lengths are advisory only and JB Equipment are not responsible for hoses that are considered either too long or too short.
All hydraulic hoses supplied crimped in 250mm or 500mm length increments and are supplied in the following BSP sizes: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" or 3/4"
If you are ordering hoses for an attachment being supplied by JB Equipment, our team will ensure all hoses are supplied in the appropriate size and with all necessary fittings to fit the attachment (and couplers if applicable).
Also need couplers? We supply all standard Male Flat Face Couplers and Female Flat Face Couplers in order to offer you the complete package and have your attachments ready to go as soon as they turn up with you.
