GATES® MXG 4K & 5K Hydraulic Hoses Last Longer, Perform Better, Are More Flexible and Lighter, Perfect For Rugged Mining Applications
Gates® MXG™ 4K and MXG™ 5K hydraulic hoses are engineered for long-lasting performance in rugged environments like mining.
They are lighter and more flexible than traditional 4K & 5K spiral hoses, making them easy to transport and install.
Their compact design also means they use less space where limited storage is available (force-to-bend is 25% better and OD is 5% smaller).
The secret to their superior performance is the patented Xpiral™ construction, a new woven spiral construction method with four layers of high-tensile steel wire reinforcement.
This leads to features such as:
- Tested to 1,000,000 impulse cycles (3 x industry standard)
- Up to 30% lighter than traditional spiral-wire hose
- Up to 40% more flexible than traditional spiral-wire hose
- 5% more compact than traditional spiral-wire hose
- Currently available in sizes -6 to -16 (MXG™ 4K) and -6 to -12 (MXG™ 5K)
- Temperature range: -40oC to +121oC (-40oF to +250oF)
- Certified MSHA Flame Resistant
- Exceed SAE 100R19 for inventory consolidation
- Exceed performance criteria of ISO 18752 350DC, SAE 100R13, EN856 R13, and ISO 3862 R13; sizes -10, -12 and -16 also rated for EN856 4SP
- All MXG hoses utilise Gates’ innovative Xpiral™ technology
- All MXG hoses come with Gates’ XtraTuff™ Plus cover that provides 25x more abrasion resistance and 800+ hours of ozone resistance compared to standard hose covers
