Gates Hydraulics Means Global Reliability


Gates hydraulic products are designed for a world of applications. A case in point: Gates global hose line. Gates global hose and couplings were developed to offer complete and consistent hydraulic coverage for all major industries worldwide.

To create a global hose line, all of our hoses meet strict international specification guidelines and even more stringent Gates quality specifications before they could carry a "Global" label.

That was required to ensure that every hose, regardless of whether it was made in Mexico, Canada, Belgium, India, Brazil, or in the U.S.A., would meet or exceed all major global quality specifications. Plus, we had to develop couplings designed for global distribution, too - couplings to meet EN/DIN and SAE standards.

Now,all of our hard work has paid off…for you. Whether your equipment is made in Japan, Germany, the United States, or elsewhere, Gates now has hose, fittings and other hydraulic equipment products to fit your application needs.
