For high-yield and high-production applications like agriculture or farming, you demand tough and durable industrial hoses that withstand harsh environmental conditions. Industrial hoses are an integral part of many equipment systems but tend to receive the least consideration compared to other important components. The truth is, a worn-out hose can be just as problematic as…

Understanding Engineered Fluid Transfer Coupling Options: Dry Disconnect vs. Break-aways vs. Rupture Discs
Engineered fluid transfer couplings are devices used to connect and transfer fluids between different components. They are vital in providing a secure and leak-proof connection while still allowing for efficient disconnection when necessary. A major function of engineered fluid transfer couplings is to prevent accidental disconnection, depressurization and fluid release during operation or during pull-away…

Read MoreHow to Extend Battery Life and Winterize Diesel Fleet Vehicles
We’ve all been there. It’s 6 a.m., cold and dark as you slip and slide your way to the truck. You grab your scraper from under the seat to de-ice the windows and turn the ignition. Except it doesn’t turn and all you hear is the dreaded click-click. The battery is dead. Curious why it…
Read MoreImprove Worker Safety with Built-In Tether Points for Dropped Object Prevention
Have you considered dropped object prevention in your fall protection program? If your employees work at heights, not only should they be outfitted in proper fall protection equipment, so should their tools! Do you need fall protection for your tools and accessories? Does your team work at heights? Does your team use tools and equipment while…
Read MoreGuide to Choosing the Best Quick Disconnect Couplings for Hydraulic Hose Assemblies
Quick disconnect couplings provide fast and easy connection and disconnection of fluid lines in industrial equipment, machinery and tooling. Quick disconnects are used to replace existing connections that require tools to assemble or disassemble. Otherwise known as quick connect fittings or quick release couplings, high-quality quick disconnect (QD) couplings can reduce the time required for…
Read MoreHow to Calculate the Correct Hydraulic Hose Length and Avoid Hose Failure
Failed hydraulic hose assemblies do more than slow production, they can also cause expensive equipment failure and result in catastrophic injury. Leaks alone can cause slips, trips and falls, putting your workforce at risk. What happens when it’s more than a little leak? High-pressure hoses can pierce skin; while flammable or hazardous materials can result in burns or even…
Read MoreHow to Choose the Right Quick Disconnect Fitting for Pneumatic Systems
For fast and easy connection and disconnection of pneumatic lines, quick disconnect fittings are an ideal solution. Quick disconnects can be used to connect power sources like air compressors to the tool and usually consist of two parts; the coupler (female part) and the plug (male part). Within the coupler is often a valve that…
Read MorePerformance Tips for Winterizing Fleet Vehicles and Heavy Equipment (Checklist Included)
Demand is at an all-time high and pressures like supply constraints coupled with fewer workers, operators and drivers make it near impossible to keep up. To make matters worse, the automotive market is suffering from production limitations, unavailable parts and an electronic chip shortage. To keep your fleet running smooth and protect your business, you…
