Product Spotlight – Parker Portable Crimpers

Have you ever had a hose break out in the field? A broken or defective hose can bring a project to a costly halt. Fortunately, Cross partner Parker lets you repair on the go with their line of portable hydraulic hose crimpers.

The Parker MiniKrimp: Lightweight & Field-Ready

Ideal for mobile hydraulic service and emergency on-site repairs, the MiniKrimp requires no external power source. It easily crimps most thermoplastic, rubber, PTFE, and specialty hoses up to ¾” ID, and features a removable pusher design for quick die changes.

See how Cross and the MiniKrimp got Campbell Crane back up and running after a blown hose threatened to delay a critical job.
