Why High Quality Quick Couplings Reduce Risk

High quality quick couplings make the difference between smooth running, functioning equipment and catastrophic, costly losses. Industrial machinery and equipment powered by hydraulic systems require quality hydraulic quick couplers to maintain reliable connections. The connection point is the most sensitive area in hydraulic systems and requires reliable quick couplers to maintain optimum fluid control and pressure. 

In industry sectors such as oil and gas extraction, agricultural and many industrial applications, you must rely upon your equipment to meet operational goals in a safe working environment.   Sealing off the hydraulic system with leak free hydraulic quick couplers is mandatory to meet business objectives without unexpected, devastating losses.

Reduce Risk with Reliable Quick Couplings

Quick couplings must provide reliable connections to protect the hydraulic circuit of machinery and equipment even when under strong mechanical stress. Accidents caused by hydraulic quick coupler failure puts the company at risk for devastating financial and safety related losses.  Potential risks associated with quick coupler failure include: 

• Financial losses - unexpected equipment downtime can result in tens of thousands of dollars in lost productivity.
• Safety losses - Hydraulic fluids, when heated and pressurized, can result in serious physical injury and even fatal outcomes. Accidents in the workplace can result in devastating losses to a company, with immediate and long-term financial losses. 
• Loss of reputation - Injuries and accidents in the workplace can ruin a company’s reputation and just one environmental accident can ruin a good reputation that took decades to build. Hydraulic failure can ruin a company’s reputation with current and potential new clients, having long-term negative effects.
• Environmental contamination - hydraulic failure resulting in fluid leaking into the ground, groundwater and bodies of water can cause irreparable damage to natural resources. Contamination of the soil in farming and agricultural applications causes additional, devastating financial losses.
• Costs of repair and replacement - hydraulic fluid contamination can damage the hydraulic circuit on machinery and equipment and further damage mechanical components, requiring costly repairs or replacement of equipment.
