Thermoplastic Jack Hose

Thermoplastic Jack Hose
The Thermoplastic Jack Hose is an ultra-high-pressure hydraulic hose engineered for lifting and jacking applications. Designed to handle extreme working pressures often exceeding 700 Bar (10,000 PSI), this hose features high-tensile multi-layer steel wire reinforcement and a lightweight thermoplastic core, providing a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional rubber hoses. The low volumetric expansion ensures precise control and immediate hydraulic response during lifting operations — critical for safe and accurate jacking. The abrasion-resistant polyurethane cover withstands harsh site conditions. Available from Flytech Engineering Sdn Bhd with ready stock in Klang, Selangor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is thermoplastic jack hose used for?
A: Thermoplastic jack hose is used for hydraulic jacking and lifting applications requiring ultra-high pressure up to 700 Bar (10,000 PSI). Common uses include bridge jacking, heavy infrastructure lifting, vehicle recovery, industrial press jacking, and pre-stressing/post-tensioning equipment.

Q: Why use thermoplastic jack hose instead of rubber jack hose?
A: Thermoplastic jack hose provides equivalent pressure ratings (up to 700 Bar) at significantly lighter weight than rubber jack hose. Lower volumetric expansion means more precise lifting control and immediate hydraulic response — critical for safe jacking operations.

Q: What is the working pressure of jack hose?
A: Thermoplastic Jack Hose is rated for 700 Bar (10,000 PSI) ultra-high working pressure with 4:1 safety factor (minimum 2800 Bar burst pressure). Always use appropriate high pressure fittings and follow safety protocols.

Q: What sizes are available for jack hose?
A: Available in bore sizes from 3mm to 12mm — the standard sizes for hydraulic jack hose. Contact Flytech Engineering for current stock and pricing.

Q: Does thermoplastic jack hose need special fittings?
A: Yes. Ultra-high pressure jack hose requires specialised high pressure crimp fittings designed for 700 Bar service. Standard hydraulic fittings are not suitable. Flytech Engineering supplies appropriate high pressure fittings for jack hose assembly.
