Fittings offered for giant open pit mining excavators

Manuli Hydraulics has announced the launch of the Hercules/HT System for giant excavators used in open pit mining. The Hercules/HT System comprises of the newly developed Hercules/HT 6WS hose, a selection of highly robust Interlock Super fittings, the Goldencrimp/420 crimping machine and the HSSL Heat-shrinkable sleeve.

Designed to work flawlessly together, this system enables the easy field-replacement of the critical “hump hoses” found on giant excavators, and provides a performance equal to, and often exceeding, the original factory fitted hoses.

The Hercules/HT System is designed for working pressures up to 420 bar, and is available in the most commonly used sizes of DN 31, DN 38 and DN 51.
