Hoses for road mahinery: main characteristics and purpose
Hoses for transport are an important component of the equipment used for construction, repair and maintenance of roads and highways. Their main purpose is to ensure fast and uninterrupted transfer of various substances: cement, abrasive mixtures, water, gases, oil, etc.
Hoses for transport: characteristics
Such hoses are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU) or natural rubber, that is, from materials that can withstand high pressure, wear and tear and adverse weather conditions. The construction of road hoses usually has multiple layers of reinforcement.

Hoses for road machinery have different technical characteristics. They can differ in size, diameter and length. This allows them to be used in various types of work.
Features of hoses for road equipment:

resistant to tears, punctures and abrasion;
strong and durable;
resistant to environmental influences – ultraviolet, temperature changes, etc.;
airtight;
flexible, easy to install, mobile and have good maneuverability.

Purpose of road hoses
These hoses allow the transmission of various working fluids, therefore they are widely used:

For transmission of hydraulic fluid in hydraulic systems of road equipment (excavators, bulldozers, front-end loaders).
For transmission of compressed air in pneumatic systems of road equipment (pneumatic brakes, levers, pneumatic tools).
For transporting water in engine cooling systems, fire extinguishing systems, as well as for providing water supply at construction sites.
For pumping fuel from tanks to the engine of vehicles.
For transfer of coolant (antifreeze) in the cooling systems of road vehicles.
For air supply in the ventilation channels of road equipment.
For delivery of crushed stone, gravel, sand, etc. on road equipment of the type UYAR-1 and Patcher.
