SAE 100R16 / R17 standard
Braided Hoses — Compact
Engineered for modern machines where hose routing space is severely limited. Thanks to a compact wire braid construction, these hoses achieve a significantly tighter bend radius than standard models without compromising pressure rating — ideal for agricultural machinery and compact precision equipment.

Key strengths & applications
Space saving
Allows hydraulic lines to pass through the tightest openings in machine frames.
Greater flexibility
Lower bending effort, which makes installation and maintenance considerably easier.
Compact machines
Particularly suited to aerial platforms, mini excavators, telehandlers and narrow tooling.
