Fairlawn, Ohio - Continental AG has debuted a new heavy-duty air hose for the construction and mining markets.

The Super Rock Drill 600 HT offers a 600-PSI working pressure, and can withstand an operating temperature of 275°F, according to a Continental news release.

"This is a hand-built hose that is exceptionally applicable to customers and markets that operate in hazardous environs," said Laszlo Dobo, product manager for Continental's industry hoses.
