Material Handling Hoses & Their Applications
The Parflex hoses listed below are not the only hoses that will work in these applications but they are some of the most popular. The 563TJ thermoplastic hose features 3000 psi across all sizes and the best low length change under pressure (+/- 1%).

How To Fix Hydraulic Hose Installation Problems
See how Parflex solved a hose installation problem on a skid steer assembly line and helped the customer reduce costs.
Low Temperature Over The Sheave (Pulley) Hoses
Parker's low temperature thermoplastic hydraulic hoses feature optimum performance in cold temperatures, especially for applications requiring flexibility in cold climates with temperatures as low as -70°F. If your equipment requires a very low temperature pulley hose, Parflex suggest considering a low temp hose for the side shifter or fork tilt function also.
- Handle temperatures as low as -70°F/-57°C.
- Available as a single or bonded hose assembly.
- Available in non-conductive design (orange cover hoses)
- Size range 3/16" up to 1" depending on style with pressures up to 5,000 psi.
Do You Know The #1 Cause of Hose Failure?
Hose on hose abrasion.
Parflex solves this problem by providing bonded hoses which eliminate hose on hose abrasion, twisting and tangling. Bonding allows the hoses to act as one hose.
Aerial Lift Hoses & Their Applications
The 563TJ TOUGHJACKET hose is a major player in boom hose. The low length change under pressure, (+/- 1%), means a 50 foot hose only leaves 6 inches of excess hose when the boom retracts rather than 24 inches compared to many boom hoses.
