The Continental range of bulk transfer hoses, which covers a variety of mediums including oil, fuel, bulk material, liquid mud and methanol, is used in a wide range of applications including bunkering, dragchains, loading stations and many more.
It is also possible to heat trace bulk hoses for extreme cold conditions to maintain the integrity of the hose.
- More Flexible:
Easier to move in and out of tight spaces and around corners - Lighter weight:
Easier to lift and carry, resulting in fewer workplace injuries - Lower Force to Bend:
Easier to connect and disconnect for increased productivity - Improved Flex Performance:
More durable and longer lasting
