Mining pushes equipment to its limits. Equipment runs long hours in dust, mud, and extreme temperatures, and when something breaks, production stops. Hydraulics play a huge role in keeping things running, powering everything from excavators and shovels to crushers and conveyors. But with that much power comes serious pressure on fittings, hoses, and connections. That’s where quality fittings and hose protection come into play. Let’s dig into how these systems work across the mining industry and the products that keep them performing day after day.
