When it comes to underground and hard rock mining, equipment reliability is essential.
With every component of equipment enduring extreme working conditions at some point, having access to equipment that can perform in these conditions, whilst delivering optimal performance is essential.
“The Gates X-Series hydraulic hose range has been a game-changer for mining operations across the board,” Gates Australia product manager for fluid power Arshad Ashroff said. “They have set a new standard for performance, providing the reliability needed in these challenging environments.”
With up to 40 per cent more flexibility than conventional hoses, Gates X-Series hoses redefine flexibility in the mining industry.
“This enhanced flexibility allows for effortless installation and manoeuvring, even in tight spaces commonly found in underground mining environments,” Ashroff said.
“The Gates X-Series hoses enable fitters to seamlessly navigate complex mining equipment, resulting in minimised downtime and improved operational efficiency.”
The flexibility of the X-Series hose range has simplified installation and manoeuvring tasks, even in tight underground spaces, creating valuable time needed in this sector.
The lightweight design of Gates X-Series hoses offers significant advantages in the mining sector, where heavy machinery and equipment are the norm.
“Engineered to be up to 30 per cent lighter than traditional hoses, these hoses alleviate the load on equipment, enhancing manoeuvrability,” Ashroff said.
“This weight reduction not only increases productivity but also reduces fatigue and improves safety for the mining workforce.”
