When a hose fails in your process, you need it replaced quickly. Unfortunately, that generally requires someone to leave your facility. They will likely have to take the old hose to multiple hose stores before finding one with the proper parts in stock to build an appropriate replacement. This is not only inconvenient but also results in downtime and lost productivity. Cross Hose & Fittings has developed a proactive inventory management solution to help you be more efficient while also reducing risk.
How Does It Work?
One of our experts will come to your facility to assess your needs. By looking at your equipment and existing fluid connectors, our team will determine what inventory you need to stock. They will then set up your stockroom with everything required to keep your equipment running, including a crimper to properly assemble your hoses, if necessary.
Our Parker certified specialist will then train your staff in proper hose assembly, so that replacement hoses are safe and last as long as a factory-built assembly. Once you are up and running, our staff will stop by on a regular basis to check inventory and replenish your stock.

Reduced Risk
If a connector fails, the consequences can be catastrophic. Whether you are dealing with hydraulic, steam, or chemical hoses, failure can lead to a number of serious injuries such as hydraulic fluid injection injury, or even death. To keep your employees safe, it is critical to use high-quality parts that are assembled correctly.
At Cross, we know quality matters so we only work with top-rated suppliers to ensure that the equipment you are using will last. Additionally, we know that quality doesn’t matter if hoses aren’t assembled properly or the parts are paired incorrectly. That’s why we take the time to train your staff on proper assembly and labeling to avoid potentially deadly mistakes.
