The Flotec Gates Crimper Objective:

To provide a more reliable value-added service provision and fit-for-purpose product offering compared to emergency mobile van hose replacement services.

Issues with mobile van service providers:

Mobile van hose replacement services will fit what they have in stock which is not always to the highest specification or suitable for all applications. Mobile van services are costly in terms of their call out charges and amount of time to attend site where Flotec recommends a self-assembly solution.

The Flotec Consignment Stock Management System:

Flotec has developed a consignment stock management system to help clients easily manage their inventory and stock holding.

Superior products, manufactured to the stringent tolerances.

Our global hoses and couplings are manufactured to rigorous tolerances, making sure that they perform to such a high standard they’ll work safely for a longer time. Benefit from less downtime.

Advanced self-assembly machines and dies, rigorously validated.

Our self-assembly machines make it quick and easy for you to produce the hose and coupling combinations you need. Gates dies have a special proprietary profile design that creates an almost perfectly cylindrical and durable crimp. We test and validate them at our factory so you can be sure they’ll work time after time in your workshop.

 

Increase the efficiency in your workshops.

Optimal crimp data, derived from meticulous testing Each Gates crimper comes with validated crimp settings data for the complete global hose and coupling product range. So there’s no need for time consuming trial-and-error to find the ideal settings!
