Hydraulics built for hard work

In heavy equipment applications, hoses often dictate the margin between productivity and downtime.

For hydraulic hose specialist BOA Hydraulics, the commitment is simple: to supply products that enable freedom of control. That means partnering only with hose system manufacturers it trusts to deliver.

An example of this is BOA's collaboration with Yokohama Hydraulic Hose, a connection that stands out in the Australian market. As BOA Marketing Head Jorge Boakes explains, Yokohama isn't just a hose manufacturer.

"It's a global brand built on more than a century of innovation and quality," he said. "Since opening its doors in 1917, Yokohama has earned a worldwide reputation for producing high-performance rubber products trusted across various industries, from automotive to mining and heavy machinery."

Why Yokohama hoses matter

Yokohama's hydraulic hoses are engineered for mobile machinery working under extreme pressure and conditions. Every hose is built with top-grade rubber and high-tensile steel, and they're tested well beyond industry minimums.

Here's what makes the difference:

• Precision manufacturing for consistent quality;

• impulse testing of over 1.2 million cycles, more than double the industry standard;

• certified constant-pressure performance (ISO 18752);

• tighter bend radius and smaller outer diameter for easier routing;

• abrasion-resistant cover that handles tough environments; and

• roughly 25 per cent lighter than conventional spiral hoses, making it easier to handle and improving fuel efficiency.
