Hose safety is critical in our industry, as it accounts for some of the most dangerous and life-threatening injuries in industrial operation. In the U.S., OSHA reports that approximately 600 hose injection injuries occur every year. And in its Accident Investigation Search, a variety of hose whip, injuries due to hose failure and more are…

Hydraulic flanges provide secure, leak-free connections in applications where high pressures, vibration and large flow requirements can push traditional threaded fittings to their limits. Commonly used with hose assemblies and hydraulic tubing, they simplify installation and maintenance while improving reliability in demanding operating environments. This e-book explores the fundamentals of hydraulic flanges and their role…

Off-highway OEMs are facing a convergence of pressures: reducing emissions, improving fuel economy, increasing machine productivity, and managing rising system complexity. At the center of this challenge sits hydraulics, which will continue to bring the power for all the work done on mobile machinery — the lifting, pushing, pulling and even the fine details. Across…

The 2026 Off-Highway Equipment Outlook Report offers a clear-eyed assessment of where the fluid power industry is headed as mobile hydraulics enters a period of stabilization rather than rapid growth. Grounded in survey data and informed by data from the National Fluid Power Association and expert insights from Interact Analysis and Tampere University, the report…
