In the world of heavy machinery, power is delivered under immense pressure through a network of vital arteries. A hydraulic hose is not just a component; it’s the lifeline of your equipment. When that lifeline is too stiff, it becomes a liability—difficult to install, prone to stress at fittings, and vulnerable to premature failure. We understand that true power isn’t just about pressure; it’s about control, precision, and endurance. That’s why we engineered the Good Flexibility R13 Hydraulic Hose. Imagine a hose capable of withstanding the explosive force of 5,800 PSI, yet it bends and routes through the tight confines of a modern excavator’s arm with an ease that defies its strength. This is the paradox we’ve perfected. The feel of this hose is one of controlled power; it’s supple to the touch, pliable in your hands, yet you can sense the immense strength coiled within its multiple layers of steel wire. It’s the sound of a hydraulic system operating at peak efficiency, without the strain or vibration caused by rigid, fighting hoses. This hose doesn’t just carry hydraulic fluid; it brings harmony to your system, reducing installation time, minimizing stress points, and extending the operational life of your entire machine. It’s the solution for engineers and operators who refuse to compromise between power and practicality.
Ultra-High Pressure Capability: Engineered for the most extreme hydraulic systems, this hose meets and exceeds the stringent SAE 100 R13 and EN 856 4SH standards. Its robust spiral construction allows it to handle working pressures up to 5800 PSI, providing a massive safety margin and reliable performance in high-pressure applications like heavy lifting and powerful presses.
Superior Flexibility: Despite its immense pressure rating, this hose is designed for exceptional flexibility. The advanced construction and materials reduce the minimum bend radius, allowing for easier routing in complex and tight machinery spaces. This flexibility reduces installation time and minimizes stress on both the hose and the fittings, significantly extending service life.
Exceptional Impulse Resistance: Hydraulic systems are subject to constant pressure spikes and impulses. This hose is specifically built to withstand these cyclical high-pressure shocks. Its multi-layered steel spiral reinforcement distributes stress evenly, preventing fatigue and delamination, and ensuring a long and reliable life even in the most demanding, high-impulse environments.
Durable & Abrasion-Resistant Cover: The outer cover is a tough, weather-resistant synthetic rubber, often marked with a highly visible yellow stripe. This cover is engineered to resist abrasion, cuts, ozone, and UV radiation, protecting the critical reinforcement layers from external damage and ensuring the hose can withstand the harsh conditions of construction, mining, and industrial sites.
The Good Flexibility R13 Hydraulic Hose is the premium choice for applications where maximum pressure, reliability, and flexibility are non-negotiable. It is trusted by professionals who operate the most powerful equipment in the world.
Heavy Construction & Earthmoving Equipment: The lifeblood of modern machinery. Essential for excavators, loaders, backhoes, and bulldozers. Its ability to handle extreme pressures and flex around tight articulation points makes it indispensable for the boom, arm, and bucket functions of these powerful machines.
Mining & Quarrying: Built for the brutal conditions of underground and surface mining. Used on massive drilling rigs, haul trucks, and hydraulic shovels. Its superior impulse resistance and durability ensure continuous operation in an environment where equipment failure is not an option.
Agricultural Machinery: Powering the next generation of farm equipment. Ideal for high-pressure applications in large combines, tractors, and agricultural sprayers. Its flexibility allows for complex routing in advanced hydraulic systems, while its durability resists the abrasive elements found in agricultural work.
Industrial Presses & Machine Tools: The core of high-force manufacturing. Used in hydraulic presses, injection molding machines, and heavy-duty CNC equipment. The hose’s ability to reliably deliver ultra-high pressure is critical for precision forming, clamping, and material shaping operations.
Material Handling & Port Equipment: Ensuring smooth and powerful operation. Used in ship-to-shore cranes, container handlers, and other heavy-lifting port machinery. Its combination of strength and flexibility is perfectly suited for the long runs and dynamic movements of these critical systems.
The exceptional performance of the R13 Hydraulic Hose is a direct result of its meticulously engineered, multi-layered construction. Each layer is specifically chosen to contribute to its unparalleled strength, flexibility, and durability.
Inner Tube: The conduit for the hydraulic fluid. This tube is made from a high-quality synthetic rubber compound that is specifically formulated to be compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids. It provides a smooth, seamless barrier that prevents leakage and protects the reinforcement layers from the fluid itself.
Reinforcement: The source of its immense strength. This hose features multiple layers (typically 4 or 6) of high-tensile steel wire, wound in a tight spiral pattern. This spiral construction is what enables the hose to handle ultra-high pressures and flex repeatedly without failing. The multiple layers work together to contain the force and distribute stress evenly throughout the hose wall.
Outer Cover: The protective shield. The cover is a robust, weather-resistant synthetic rubber, typically black with a yellow stripe for easy identification and safety. This layer is formulated to provide excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, ozone, and UV exposure, protecting the critical steel reinforcement from the harsh external environment and ensuring long-term durability.

Q1: What is the difference between an R13 hose and a more common R2 or 2SN hose?
A1: The primary difference is pressure rating and construction. R13 is a spiral-wound hose designed for ultra-high pressure (up to 5800 PSI), while R2/2SN are braided hoses for lower pressure applications. R13’s multi-layer spiral construction also provides superior impulse resistance and flexibility for its high-pressure class.
Q2: Can this hose be used with phosphate-ester or water-based hydraulic fluids?
A2: The standard R13 hose is designed for mineral oil-based fluids. For use with aggressive fluids like phosphate esters or water-glycol emulsions, a hose with a specially compounded inner tube (such as an R14 or R15) is required. Please contact us for fluid compatibility verification.
Q3: How important is the minimum bend radius, and what happens if I exceed it?
A3: The minimum bend radius is critical for the hose’s longevity. Bending the hose tighter than its specified minimum radius can kink the tube, damage the steel reinforcement, and significantly reduce the hose’s pressure rating, leading to premature and potentially catastrophic failure. Always adhere to the recommended bend radius.
Q4: What type of fittings should be used with this hose?
A4: This hose requires high-pressure, spiral-wound hydraulic fittings. It is crucial to use fittings that are specifically rated for the hose’s pressure and size, and they must be crimped with the correct dies using a calibrated crimping machine to ensure a safe and secure connection.
Q5: How do I properly inspect a hydraulic hose for wear or damage?
A5: Regularly inspect the entire length of the hose. Look for signs of cover damage like cuts, abrasions, or blisters. Check for leaks at the fittings and for any kinks or twists in the hose body. If the steel reinforcement is exposed or the hose appears to be misshapen, it must be replaced immediately.
