Heavy-Duty Hose Protectors for Construction, Industrial, and Utility Applications
What Is a Hose Protector?
A hose protector is a heavy-duty ramp system designed to cover and protect hoses, pipes, and cables that run across active work areas. It allows vehicles, forklifts, and pedestrians to safely cross over fluid and utility lines while preventing damage, reducing trip hazards, and maintaining workflow in construction sites, industrial facilities, municipal projects, and event environments.
Hose Protectors are lightweight and erosion, injury, and weather resistant. Intended for non-permanent installation only, hose ramps replace their wood and metal counterparts. Yellow caution color ensures high visibility and a diamond plate finish enhances traction on the hose protector surface. Vehicles crossing the hose ramp should have rubber tires and must have a clearance greater than the bridge height. Hose Protectors are designed to protect lines up to 6 inches in diameter.

- Prevent damage to hydraulic, water, air, and fuel hoses
- Reduce trip hazards for workers and pedestrians
- Avoid costly downtime from broken lines or leaks
- Protect equipment from vehicle impact
- Improve safety compliance on active job sites
- Eliminate makeshift solutions like wood or rubber mats
