EPT20-15ET2 Forklift Hydraulic Oil Pipe Joint Side Shifter Cylinder Hose

EPT20-15ET2 Forklift Hydraulic Oil Pipe Joint — Side Shifter Cylinder Hose Assembly

The EPT20-15ET2 hydraulic oil pipe joint is a plastic hydraulic hose assembly designed for forklift side shifter cylinder connections and pallet lifting cylinder circuits. At 0.2 kg with a compact 10×10×10 cm package, this lightweight joint/hose assembly connects the hydraulic supply line to the side shifter or pallet lift cylinder, providing the flexible connection needed for articulating forklift attachments. The plastic construction offers corrosion resistance and weight savings compared to metal alternatives, making it suitable for electric pallet trucks and light-duty forklift attachment circuits where operating pressures are moderate.

This pipe joint assembly is specifically intended for forklift side shifter hydraulic circuits and pallet lifting cylinder applications — the EPT20-15ET2 designation indicates compatibility with EPT-series electric pallet trucks and 15ET-series lift equipment. The hose assembly provides the flexible hydraulic connection between the forklift’s fixed hydraulic plumbing and the moving attachment cylinder. Common applications include: side shifter hydraulic feed lines, pallet truck lifting cylinder connections, and light-duty hydraulic attachment circuits on electric and manual handling equipment. Failure signs include: hydraulic oil weep or drip at the joint connection (worn sealing surface), restricted attachment movement speed (internal hose collapse or blockage), and visible cracking or deformation of the plastic hose body (UV or chemical degradation).

Installation involves depressurizing the attachment hydraulic circuit, disconnecting the old hose assembly, and connecting the replacement with new sealing washers. Route the hose to avoid sharp bends, pinch points, and areas where the hose could be damaged during normal attachment operation. After installation, cycle the attachment through its full range of motion to confirm the hose does not snag or kink at any position.
