Excavator Replacement Hydraulic Hoses

Yes. McCann provides on-site hose assembly through mobile service trucks, along with in-shop fabrication. This option is useful when an excavator is working in a trench, on a construction site, or in another location where transporting the machine is impractical. The exact hose construction, length, fittings, and routing should be confirmed before fabrication.

McCann can duplicate an old or failed hose assembly at the counter using the sample to identify the hose, fittings, orientation, and approximate configuration. Bring the failed assembly whenever possible. If the hose is unavailable, provide the machine make, model, serial number, circuit location, overall length, fitting details, and fluid information.

McCann is a dealer for CASE Construction Equipment, KOBELCO, and Takeuchi, and provides all-makes service including CAT, Deere, Komatsu, Bobcat, and Kubota. Custom assemblies can be considered when an OEM hose is unavailable or when a matched replacement is appropriate for the machine and circuit.

Selection should account for circuit pressure and pressure spikes, hose construction, fluid and temperature compatibility, fitting style, overall length, orientation, minimum bend radius, abrasion protection, and routing through the excavator's full range of motion. SAE J517 covers hose constructions, while SAE J1273 provides guidance for selection, routing, fabrication, installation, and maintenance.

Lower the boom, bucket, and other attachments to the ground or mechanically block them before opening a hydraulic circuit. Apply OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout/tagout procedures, including control of stored hydraulic energy. Never search for a pinhole leak with your hand; use cardboard from a safe position, because escaping hydraulic fluid can cause an injection injury.

The assembly's pressure rating is valid only when the hose, fittings, and crimp die come from the same manufacturer's qualified system. McCann builds its custom assemblies as one matched system. Mixing brands can invalidate the rating even when components physically fit, creating a serious failure risk during pressure spikes or high-cycle excavator work.

McCann carries excavators from three lines. CASE Construction Equipment covers excavators and mini excavators. KOBELCO covers mini excavators, conventional excavators, short-rear-swing excavators, and specialty excavators for long-reach, demolition, and material-handling applications. Takeuchi covers mini excavators. Parts and service for other makes, including CAT, Deere, Komatsu, Bobcat and Kubota, run through the same counter.
