Hose Protection

Hose Protection products are designed to extend hose life, improve safety and maintain reliability across hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial hose systems. Whether your hoses are exposed to abrasion, impact, weathering or constant movement, our protective wraps and guards offer an effective barrier against premature wear and damage.

This range includes durable spiral wraps, protective sleeves and heavy-duty steel guards - each engineered to suit different environments and performance requirements.


Why Hose Protection Matters

  • Prolongs hose life: Reduces wear from rubbing, dragging, vibration and external contact
  • Improves safety: Helps shield operators and equipment in the event of hose leaks or bursts
  • Reduces downtime: Protected hoses are far less likely to fail unexpectedly, saving time and maintenance costs
  • Supports organisation & identification: Colour-coded options make it easy to separate lines, identify media, or highlight risks
  • Suitable for retrofitting: Most options can be installed onto pre-assembled hoses

Nylon Spiral Wrap - Black

A tough, highly flexible wrap designed for environments with heavy wear, vibration or repeated movement. Nylon offers excellent abrasion resistance, strong durability and good temperature performance, making it ideal for industrial, automotive and hydraulic systems requiring long-term protection.

HDPE Spiral Wrap - Black, Red & Yellow

A robust yet lightweight wrap used to shield hoses from abrasion and minor impacts. HDPE spiral wrap is easy to install, even over existing hose assemblies, and is available in multiple colours for line identification or safety marking. A cost-effective solution for general-purpose hose protection.

Hose Protection Sleeve

A slip-on sleeve that provides flexible abrasion protection along the length of a hose. Suitable for single hose runs, machinery, workshop environments and mobile equipment, it offers a neat, continuous cover that helps extend hose life where movement and rubbing are common.

Galvanised Steel Spring Hose Guard

A heavy-duty mechanical guard that protects hoses from crushing, sharp edges, impacts and kinking. Made from galvanised steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance, it is ideal for hydraulic lines and exposed hose runs where maximum physical protection is essential.

FAQs

  • What is hose protection and why is it important?
    • Hose protection includes wraps, sleeves and guards that shield hoses from abrasion, impact and crushing, extending service life and improving safety.
  • What problems does hose protection prevent?
    • It helps prevent abrasion, impact damage, kinking, UV exposure and premature hose failure.
  • Which types of hose protection are available?
    • Common options include spiral wrap, protective sleeves and steel spring guards, each suited to different risk levels and environments.
  • What is spiral wrap used for?
    • Spiral wrap protects hoses from abrasion and rubbing while allowing movement, making it ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies.
  • What’s the difference between nylon and HDPE spiral wrap?
    • Nylon spiral wrap offers higher abrasion resistance and temperature performance, while HDPE is lighter and more cost-effective for general use.
  • Can spiral wrap be installed on existing hoses?
    • Yes. Spiral wrap can be retrofitted over assembled hoses without removing fittings, ideal for maintenance and upgrades.
  • What is a hose protection sleeve?
    • A hose protection sleeve is a flexible slip-on cover that provides continuous abrasion and UV protection along the hose length.
  • What is a steel spring hose guard used for?
    • Steel spring guards provide heavy-duty protection against crushing, impact and sharp edges in high-risk hose routing.
  • Does hose protection improve safety?
    • Yes. Hose protection reduces hose whip risk, helps contain failures and protects operators and equipment.
  • Can hose protection reduce maintenance costs?
    • Absolutely. It reduces wear, extends hose life and minimises downtime and replacement costs.
  • What industries use hose protection?
    • Hose protection is widely used in hydraulics, pneumatics, agriculture, construction, automotive and industrial machinery.
  • How do I choose the right hose protection?
    • Consider hose size, abrasion risk, movement, temperature exposure and whether retrofitting is required.
