Construction firms and companies in heavy industry rely on rugged equipment that’s capable of withstanding extreme work environments and hefty loads. Heavy-duty industrial hoses built for these industries can efficiently carry and safely transport dense loads like sand, gravel, and concrete while hydraulic hoses help power and control hydraulic equipment like bulldozers and excavators.

At Jason Industrial, we provide clients in diverse industries with flexible hoses that can handle significant weight, intense pressures, and the environmental conditions of locations like construction sites, mines, and factories while providing optimal ease of movement. Read on to learn more about the most common applications of our industrial hoses in construction and heavy industry.

Moving Building Materials With Hoses

One primary application of our hoses within the heavy industry sector is to transport materials. Three typical construction and mining materials that our rugged, high-performance hoses can capably transfer include:

  • Concrete: Builders can’t rely on typical hoses for handling concrete. Instead, our high-quality concrete hoses are specially built to resist high abrasion, corrosion, and high pressures that could otherwise cause physical damage. Not only are the hoses durable and long-lasting, but they’re a safe solution for efficiently supplying concrete to build sites.
  • Sand: Companies in the oil and gas, construction, and mining markets use sand for hydrofracking, concrete and asphalt generation, and as an abrasive for finishing surfaces. Because sand is a tough abrasive, it is difficult on the tube of a hose, so it’s important to use a reinforced sand hose with the appropriate material and tube wall thickness to avoid damage. Sand transfer hoses allow operators to efficiently move sand or use it for sandblasting and cleaning purposes.
  • Gravel: Similarly, dredging and gravel hoses require specialized, durable materials that resist wear, develop holes, or fail under required working pressures. Common applications for our gravel transfer hoses are delivering gravel to commercial and industrial rooftops in roofing projects and moving the abrasive from the mines to processing facilities.

Powering Construction Machinery With Hoses

While hoses are essential for moving materials like concrete, sand, and gravel, these versatile products can do much more. Hydraulic hoses that withstand wear, tear, high pressure levels, rugged conditions, and continual flexing are also vital to reliably power equipment and facilitate operation in the following:

  • Crawler Cranes: Being able to effectively control the lifting and positioning of very heavy loads is critical on construction sites. To dependably provide power to crane components and generate smooth and precise motion, the heavy-duty equipment relies on hydraulic hoses. Because our hoses are built to last, they support greater site efficiency and productivity, more operational uptime, and improved safety because of the reduced risk of worker injury and machinery damage.
  • Concrete Mixers: Hydraulic hoses also enable controlled movement in the blades of concrete mixers, which keep the material in a continually controlled state of motion. With finely controlled and elevated hydraulic-powered blades, these machines can preserve and deposit well-mixed concrete on-site where it’s needed for more efficient concrete installations.
  • Hydraulic Lifts: Hydraulic lifts are platforms that can vertically hoist equipment, loads of materials, and construction workers to high-up or difficult-to-reach locations. Our industrial hoses power this controlled motion and efficiently give staff access to the roof or exterior of a structure to safely carry out their work.
  • Robotic Arms: Today’s construction projects are increasingly incorporating robotics to handle precise, difficult, or lengthy tasks that would be challenging for human workers to either achieve or access on the site. Our hydraulic construction hoses connect the flexible joints within robotic arms to power finely articulated movements. Robotic arms are capable of handling heavy lifting, positioning, and even installing applications.
