Material-handling hoses attach to a suction-, pneumatic-, or gravity-powered material-handling system to move dry, abrasive materials such as cement, fertilizers, fly ash, glass, gravel, and rock salt. These hoses are designed to resist abrasion. Material handling hose assemblies come with fittings installed on both ends for connecting the hose to compatible equipment. Bulk material-handling hoses can be cut to a desired length, and compatible hose fittings can be added on the ends of the hoses to connect them to equipment.
