Hose protection from Caplugs serves multiple purposes
Many industrial machines and technical installations use hoses, cables and pipes. This also applies to
agriculture, the rail industry, lifts and transport technology and the timber industry. Caplugs offers a
range of high-quality hose protection that optimally protects hoses and cables against wear, weather
conditions, ambient temperatures, leaks and kinking.
Spiral hose of vital importance
Hoses, pipes and wiring harnesses can be compared to the veins in a human body. A machine, plant or
vehicle simply cannot function if transporting hydraulics, fuel, compressed air, power, data is not
working properly. Moreover, worn-out or heat-melted hoses and cable insulation can cause dangerous
situations. Think of fire, short circuits and environmental pollution caused by leakage. In passenger
transport by train or aircraft, cable and hose protection is essential for the personal safety of
passengers and fellow road users. In the agricultural sector, spiral protection is used for hoses
transporting manure and water. Also in many innovative sectors, such as the chemical and aerospace
industries, it is crucial that hoses can withstand extreme conditions, such as temperatures from -328 °F
to 1112 °F (-200 °C to 600 °C), as well as corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis. As a result,
hose lines are challenged to the limit. Hence, industrial attention is paid to proper spiral protection
of hoses and cables.
Application determines product choice
So in practice, Caplugs’ hose protectors often serve multiple purposes. Whether it is hydraulic hose
protection for machines, compressed air lines or cables for electronics or data, Caplugs has the most
suitable hose protection for every application. We list the various products for protecting hoses, pipes
and cables.
- Pig’s Tail™ protective spiral wrap is specially designed to bundle and protect pneumatic and hydraulic
hoses used in various industries.
- Pig’s Tail™ Rail is a spiral hose to protect hydraulic hoses that meets the tough working conditions
and stringent requirements of the railway industry.
- FRAS Pig’s Tail™ is a fire-resistant, anti-static (FRAS) spiral binding and provides additional
protection against damage caused by static discharge or fire.
- Anti-wear sleeve ironclad textile jacket for protecting hydraulic and pneumatic hoses.
- Anti-wear side sheaths for wrapping or bundling hoses and cables. This cable guide is easy to remove
at any time, even without disconnecting the hoses. Ideal for maintenance work.
- Metal hose protection spiral for the most extreme and heavy-duty applications, such as in mining and
quarrying.

This coil tape not only helps create neat cable trees for cable management but also protects cords and
cables at the same time.
Standard and customized hose protection
So all these Caplugs coil protectors have their specific applications and distinctive qualities. They
are all listed in our catalog. However, we know from experience that machine builders, manufacturers and
product developers seek a suitable solution for the optimal protection of hydraulic and pneumatic hoses
and pipes as early as the design phase. The same applies to cable management and protection issues. In
doing so, our engineers are happy to help design and produce customized hose protection solutions.
