Hydraulic Hose, Fittings, & Custom Crimping Services
The Importance of High-Pressure Hose Assemblies
Hydraulic hoses are the lifelines of your heavy machinery and industrial equipment, moving high-pressure hydraulic fluids between components like cylinders, valves, and pumps. Hydraulic fittings connect these hoses securely, controlling and directing fluid flow while safely maintaining pressure and preventing catastrophic leakages.
Choosing the correct hose and fitting combination is critical. At Kelliher Machine Works, we don't just supply parts; we custom fabricate complete, high-performance hose assemblies designed to meet the extreme demands of your application.
Custom Hydraulic Hose Assemblies in Yolo County
A hydraulic hose assembly is a specialized component, typically constructed from flexible rubber and wire reinforcement layers, designed to move high-pressure fluid. In high-demand systems, like those found on water well drill rigs and heavy construction equipment, these assemblies must be fortified to handle high operating pressures.
Our hoses are engineered to be flexible enough to navigate tight spaces, isolate vibrations, and endure demanding operational conditions.

The Right Fittings for the Job: Permanent & Crimp Fittings
Hose fittings and couplings are the crucial connection points, available in various materials including steel, brass, stainless steel, and aluminum. Since hydraulic hoses transport oil under intense pressure, the fittings must be durable enough to withstand the load.
At Kelliher Machine Works, we specialize in reliable, long-lasting connections:
Permanent Hydraulic Hose Fittings (Crimping)
This is the most reliable and common type of fitting, attached to a hydraulic hose using a high-precision crimping machine. As part of our comprehensive Hydraulic Hose Fabrication service, we utilize modern crimp fittings because they offer superior reliability, are highly durable, and allow for quick and easy attachment by our technicians. This is the standard for new assemblies and replacements on critical equipment.
Reusable Hydraulic Hose Fittings
While less common today, reusable fittings are available for situations where a technician may not have access to a hose crimper on-site, offering a temporary or specialty solution.
Quick Couplers
We stock and supply a wide diversity of quick couplers, which are designed for fast and easy connection and disconnection. These fittings (male and female sides) are typically mounted onto a permanent hose fitting, allowing for rapid component swaps without threading or bolting. We carry a range of options suitable for everything from air lines to high-pressure hydraulic systems.
Industrial Hose Solutions
While we are specialists in high-pressure hydraulic assemblies for drill rigs and heavy equipment, Kelliher Machine Works also services and supplies industrial hoses used across various sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture, and construction.
Industrial hoses have a diverse range of applications, differing from hydraulic hoses in the fluids they transfer and their size and connection types. We have the capability to meet specific requirements for applications needing:
Abrasion Resistence
Heat or Moisture Resistence
Chemical Compatibility
Specific Pressure Ratings (low or high)
