Gates® Australia has released a number of innovative new fluid power products into the Australian and New Zealand markets in the last 18 months, all of these new products set new benchmarks over traditional industrial hose products.
Gates® product development teams have created innovative new products that deliver in four core areas:
LESS WEIGHT
Gates® designed these products to be lower weight for easier handling, quicker installation, and reduced equipment weight.
EASIER INSTALLATION
Gates® latest innovations require significantly less force to bend for safer, quicker, and less fatiguing routing and installation.
ADVANCED PERFORMANCE
The product of Gates’ materials science expertise, these innovative products are engineered to deliver mission critical performance for demanding applications and tough conditions.
STREAMLINED SELECTION
Gates® has qualified these latest innovations to multiple industry specifications – making it easier to know you have the right hose for the job.
Some of these new products include:
GATES® MEGASYS™ MXT™ WITH XTRATUFF™ PLUS COVER HYDRAULIC HOSES
MXT was designed to address our customers’ evolving application challenges.
