    • Abstract:
      The article discusses how a mobile equipment manufacturer replaced spiral hydraulic hoses with braided hoses in its electric backhoe loader to meet high-pressure requirements while reducing costs and weight. The manufacturer initially requested four-wire spiral hoses but switched to a two-wire braided hose, the Aeroquip by Danfoss EC881 Dynamax hose, which offered higher pressure ratings and cost savings. The braided hose provided flexibility, ease of installation, and maintenance benefits, leading to a 31% cost reduction for the OEM. The article highlights the benefits of using braided hoses over spiral hoses in high-pressure hydraulic applications, emphasizing design opportunities and potential cost savings for equipment owners.
