Why not simplify your product lineup?
Kurt Hydraulics can handle the widest range of hydraulic applications and pressures with only 2 hose models and 1 coupling series. Carrying less inventory and covering more solutions makes business easier for everyone—from distributors to installers to customers. The combination of Kurt E-Z Bend hose + Kurt Tuff hose + Kurt W-Series couplings is your best bet for covering the most common hydraulic hose and coupling applications. If you want to stock just 3 product lines check out this solution.
