KOMATSU HOSES

Komatsu Hoses

Hydraulic hoses and lines are mission-critical on Komatsu equipment. They carry high-pressure hydraulic fluid that powers travel drives, boom and arm functions, steering systems, and auxiliary attachments. When a hose fails, the result is immediate downtime—often accompanied by fluid loss, contamination risk, and safety concerns.

WQParts supplies durable aftermarket Komatsu hoses engineered for construction and mining environments where abrasion, vibration, heat, and pressure spikes are part of daily operation. These hoses are selected to support reliable flow, secure connections, and long service life.

Where Komatsu Hoses Are Used

  • Main hydraulic circuits (implement and travel systems)
  • Auxiliary attachment lines (hammers, thumbs, grapples, etc.)
  • Steering and brake hydraulic circuits
  • Cooling and return lines (application dependent)

Why Hose Quality Matters

Hydraulic systems depend on stable pressure and clean fluid. A hose that is incorrectly rated, poorly crimped, or built with inferior reinforcement can fail prematurely. That failure can cause more than a leak—it can introduce air, create cavitation, damage pumps, and contaminate the system.

  • Pressure capability: hoses must withstand operating pressure and transient spikes.
  • Abrasion resistance: jobsite routing exposes hoses to rubbing, debris, and sharp edges.
  • Flexibility and vibration: constant movement requires reinforcement that resists fatigue cracking.
  • Connection integrity: proper fittings and crimps prevent blow-offs and seepage.

Common Causes of Hose Failure

  • External abrasion from poor routing or missing protective sleeves
  • Heat exposure near engines, exhaust components, or hot hydraulic circuits
  • Improper bend radius causing internal reinforcement damage
  • Pressure spikes from attachment use or rapid valve events
  • Contamination that accelerates wear of fittings and sealing surfaces

Preventive Maintenance That Saves Money

On production machines, hose replacement is often most cost-effective as planned maintenance rather than an emergency repair. Routine inspection helps you catch:

  • Wet spots, seepage, or oil misting near crimp ends
  • Bulges, cracking, or exposed reinforcement
  • Flattened sections from kinks or incorrect routing
  • Chafing where hoses contact frame or other lines
