Gates Industrial has launched a new hydraulic hose range called the Gates MXT that is lighter in weight and offers a more flexible solution.

The new line is designed to meet a wide range of industry standards and addresses both replacement market and original equipment manufacturer needs.

The MXT range is designed for applications across industries such as agriculture and other end-markets with demanding performance requirement.

“Our customers have been telling us they want lighter, more flexible and easier-to-handle products that address multiple industry standards. They are seeking to enhance the performance of their machines, simplify their engineering processes, improve operational efficiencies and streamline inventory with a simplified selection of replacement products that can be used on virtually any original equipment platform,” Gates Industrial CMO and SVP of product line management Tom Pitstick says.

“MXT delivers on these needs and adds value to our customers beyond just premium product performance.”

The Gates MXT is the latest addition to the Gates MegaSys product portfolio, a complete hydraulic hose and coupling system that is available now in Australia and New Zealand.
