Why investing in a high quality hydraulic hose assembly will save you more than money.

Buyers need to avoid equating the cost of a hose to its purchase price. There is more to it than meets the eye. The real cost is the ownership cost of using one product over another over time. A low cost hose solution may actually cost you more over time, than using a seemingly higher cost high quality product.
Low quality hoses have a significantly shorter service life and need frequent replacement driving up the cost of ownership over a period of time. When a hose needs to be replaced, there is the cost of labor of replacing the hose which alone may offset the extra cost for a high quality hose assembly which will last longer.
Low quality hoses often fail prematurely leading to not just the cost of replacing the failed hose assembly but a number of collateral damage like
- Risk of grievous injury to personnel
- Loss of the hydraulic fluid and cost of the spill clean up job
- Failure of other expensive equipment in the system like pumps, valves, motors etc.
- Unsheduled down time resulting in production loss and sometimes over time pay, and also missed delivery deadlines
- Long term damage may happen due to contamination as a result of the hose failure
Cheap imports seem to have flooded the local market competing solely on price even with SAE compliance by the cheap hoses, however this is no guarantee for quality hoses.
