The GH493 is a 4-spiral steel hose specifically designed to comply with the European standard EN 856 4SH. It is the standard hose for high-power hydraulic systems in European machinery (such as Liebherr, Bauer, or drilling equipment). Its main advantage over other 4-spiral hoses is that it maintains higher pressures in large diameters.
Construction and Materials
-
Inner Tube: Oil-resistant synthetic rubber (Nitrile).
-
Reinforcement: 4 spirals of very high tensile steel wire.
-
Outer Cover: DURA-TUFF™ synthetic rubber.
-
Note: Like previous families, it features this premium cover, which resists abrasion much better than the standard, ideal for constant rubbing in heavy machinery.
-
Applications and Common Uses
-
Foundation Drilling Rigs: Piling equipment requiring high flow rates at pressures close to 6,000 PSI.
-
Mining Excavators: In the main lines of the boom and stick.
-
Hydraulic Cranes: Where safety and European regulations are mandatory.
Certifications: SAE 100R12 | EN 856 R12 | EN 856 4SP (-8 to -16) | ISO 18752 | ISO 3862 R12
