Hose Crimper Placement and Sales
A good part of our business is placing a hydraulic hose crimp machine at a customer’s facility so they can build their own hose assemblies. Making your own hoses has many benefits including reduced down time, lower hose costs and on-site production. There are different models of machines used, determined by the customers needs. Some of the crimpers are:
- FT1380 model will crimp four wire up to 1-1/4” I.D.;
- ET1000 model, which will crimp one and two wire up to 1-1/4” I.D.;
- FT1390 model, the "ultimate crimper", will crimp six wire up to 2” I.D.

Managed Inventory Services
Customers who have their own crimper, or have many hose and adapters in their inventory, use our managed inventory services to reduce the time and costs associated with managing their own inventory. It's a joint venture, where the customer and our company representative determine the inventory level for each of the items we supply, and restock them as needed. We physically inventory your stock on a regular basis, place an order for the difference and often times deliver the product on our next visit.
Contact your sales rep. or customer service for more information.
Pressure Test and Hose Certification Services
Many customers require a degree of product quality and consistency which can only be achieved through product testing. With Aeroquip’s FT1261 pressure test stand, we can safely pressurize your hose up to 22,000 PSI in sizes to 2” I.D. We can test to your specifications, or use our standard NAVSEA test, which is two times operating pressure of the hose for a period of 10 minutes. Documentation and certification can also be provided.
