Over two and a half billion
dollars a year - just in the United States - is spent to combat rust
deterioration of fittings across multiple industries. Why expose your equipment
to this kind of wear? Tube fittings are rarely replaced at the first sign of
corrosion, and yet the longer they are left, adjacent parts like hoses and
hydraulic components, can begin to corrode at accelerated rates. To some
materials handling equipment manufacturers, the inclusion of Zinc Dichromate is
cost-prohibitive, but companies like Stärke consider it a long-term investment
rather than a short-term pricing decision.
Stärke forklifts and lift
trucks come with Zinc Dichromate fittings as standard. This supports the Stärke
Motto: Stärke is Strength. Regardless
of the costly upgrades you will find on Stärke products, the price is always competitive.
For a List of the Devastating Effects Red Rust Deterioration
of Fittings can cause, please see below:
- system contamination
- potential leaks
- fitting connection problems
- aesthetic quality concerns from
end user
- maintenance difficulty
- improper function of adjacent
components (valves, pumps, cylinders)
- accelerated corrosion of adjacent
components
The cost implications of fitting corrosion with mobile
equipment can become life-threatening if left ignored.
If you’re looking for strength in your materials handling
equipment at a cost that will under-cut their competitors, find a Stärke dealer
near you -
