Extreme abrasion resistance
Our robust sleeving protects hydraulic hoses and cables from constant friction, vibration, and sharp edges. This protection extends component life and prevents failures in environments where rocks, debris, and rough terrain accelerate wear.
Custom-engineered solutions
Our engineering teams collaborate with customers to develop custom braided solutions. We ensure each customization meets exact specifications for diameter, material composition, temperature resistance, and performance characteristics. This attention to detail results in optimal fit from compact loaders to mining equipment.
Unmatched durability and reliability
Leverage our 200 years of textile manufacturing expertise. We test our products to withstand extreme temperatures, hydraulic fluids, and mechanical stress. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring consistent quality where reliability impacts productivity.
Enhanced operator safety
Our protective sleeves can help contain hydraulic breaches and minimize risks from high-pressure hose failures, shielding personnel from dangerous fluid bursts while supporting compliance.
Products Built for the Most Demanding Environments
We understand heavy equipment endures extreme abrasion, temperatures, and constant flexing that compromise hydraulic systems and electrical wiring.
Monoflex® PET
Monoflex® PET is our versatile, expandable sleeving for wiring harnesses and cable assemblies. Lightweight yet durable, it resists abrasion and automotive fluids while simplifying installation over connectors and fittings.
Monoflex® PET HD
Monoflex® PET HD is similar to the PET sleeving but made of larger filaments for greater resistance to impact and abrasion.
Enclose®
Enclose® is ideal for retrofitting and repairs without disconnecting hoses or cables. Our wraparound sleeve design enables quick installation on existing assemblies, drastically reducing maintenance time for field repairs.
Flex-Tuff®
Flex-Tuff® is our maximum abrasion protection solution for hydraulic hoses on excavators, bulldozers, and earth-moving machinery. Rugged construction resists friction damage while providing excellent containment during hose burst events.
Ben-Har® 1151-XL-200
This reinforced silicone rubber-coated fiberglass sleeving solution has excellent electrical properties. It offers great expandability, flex life and push back.
Ben-Har® 1151-FRB
Ben-Har® 1151-FRB is a silicone fiberglass sleeving with flame-retardant properties. With specially formulated, extrusion-coated rubber, this reinforced sleeving offers excellent abrasion protection.

Heavy Equipment Applications
Hydraulic hose protection
Our solutions shield high-pressure hydraulic lines from abrasion, vibration, and environmental exposure across excavators, loaders, and cranes.
Electrical wiring harnesses
Use sleeving to protect complex wiring systems from chafing, crushing, and fluid contamination in engine compartments and control panels.
Fuel and fluid lines
Our braided sleeves guard fuel delivery systems and coolant lines against mechanical damage and temperature extremes.
Control cables and linkages
Sleeving can safeguard mechanical control cables from wear and environmental degradation in steering, braking, and actuation systems.
Undercarriage components
Use sleeves to protect critical undercarriage wiring and hoses from severe abrasion caused by rocks, debris, and ground contact.
In-cabin cables
Organize and protect in-cabin cables and operator interface wiring with sleeving, ensuring reliable control systems performance.
