PIRTEK Whip Checks System - On-Site Hydraulic Hose Replacement Service

Whip Check System

Whip Checks are a retention system designed to stop hoses that have become disconnected from a piece of equipment or through catastrophic failure.

Keeping the Workplace Safe

Whip Checks comprise of two components. First, is the hose safety clamp, the second is a safety cable that connects to the equipment using a high tensile steel bolt.

There are two different ways to secure the cables to the equipment. The first is by using a bolt which is fitted to a Code 61 or a Code 62 flange. The second is to attach the cable using steel eyelet/ mounting bracket and a high tensile steel bolt to secure it directly to the equipment.

PIRTEK Whip Checks can be used in multiple applications especially in production or manufacturing facilities where safety is a critical component in everyday operations.
