I'm looking at changing my 2 100 meter 1/2 inch hoses over to mini or micro bore.  However how do they fare up to being driven over?  I've not had a problem with the stuff I'm using at the moment, but these other hoses being thinner, will they be up to a lorry going over the top.

We have had plenty of lorries, van and buses going over the hose and still work fine

Generally speaking cars can drive over them with no loss of flow even. You do notice it if a lorry drives over, but they are more than strong enough to cope with the strain.

I have used microbore for 6 years now and have never had a lorry damage it.

Simon,

We use both Mini & Microbore hoses and im sure you will find they are much tougher and less crushable then 1/2" hose, anything less than a steamroller will have little effect on them.

No problems at all, I work on many new build estates with lorries loaded with material. Not even a drop in the flow rate

Thanks Guys.

22 ton bin wagon and microbore still ok, just be careful that its not running over stony ground as it may puncture it.
