Gates CR2 is a high-performance, two-wire braided hydraulic hose engineered for versatility and durability in demanding environments.
Safety is a core feature, as the hose is MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) flame-resistant rated, making it suitable for underground mining and high-risk settings.
In terms of performance, the CR2 is built for high-pressure systems, offering a maximum working pressure that ranges from 5,800 psi for the 1/4" ID size down to 3,000 psi for the 1" ID size.
One of its standout advantages is its permissible bend radius, which is significantly tighter than standard SAE 100R2 hoses (often up to 50% more flexible), allowing for compact plumbing in tight spaces without compromising flow or longevity.
Gates CR2 hydraulic hose is available in a comprehensive range of sizes to suit various flow requirements, including 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1" inner diameters.
