Hart Industries Expands Proven Asset Recovery Model to Unlock Financial and Environmental Value in Transport Tank Components

Hart Industries, Inc., a leading provider of hose assemblies, fittings, and related components, today announced a significant expansion of its successful asset recovery initiatives. Building on the foundation of its long-standing Hose-Trac and Hose-Hawk programs, which have provided inspection, maintenance, and recycling services for hose assemblies and fittings for many years, Hart Industries is now extending its proven model to a full range of high-value components on stainless steel transport tanks. This new service, covering valves, vents, pumps, and dry disconnects, is designed to help customers not only dramatically reduce their environmental footprint but also unlock substantial, tangible cost savings by recapturing the full value of their critical assets

“Our customers have long benefited from the financial and environmental advantages of our Hose-Trac and Hose-Hawk programs,” said Kip Hart, President and CEO of Hart Industries. “We’ve spent years perfecting the process of inspecting, maintaining, and recycling hose assemblies and fittings, proving that we can recapture significant value from what would otherwise be considered waste. Expanding this expertise to include additional tank components was a natural and necessary evolution. It allows us to deliver even greater economic and sustainable benefits to our partners, helping them turn a potential disposal cost into a significant financial return.”


Recycle

Many of these valuable components—including valves, vents, pumps, and hose assemblies—are frequently replaced due to minor damage or wear. Hart Industries is now expanding its capabilities to include:

  • Valves: Internal and Hydraulic
  • Vents: Pressure and Vacuum
  • Transfer Pumps: Gear, Lobe, and Diaphragm
  • Dry Disconnect Couplings
Chemical Trailer

The Financial Advantage

For every component refurbished, customers realize direct financial benefits that go far beyond a simple credit.

  • Significant Cost Savings: Refurbishing a component can be a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new one, directly lowering operational expenses for maintenance and repairs.
  • Increased Asset Utilization: The program extends the lifespan of high-cost components, ensuring a greater return on the initial investment.
  • Reduced Overhead: By participating in the program, customers can minimize inventory carrying costs and reduce the administrative burden and expense of procuring new parts.
  • Minimized Downtime: Having a reliable source of refurbished parts ready for immediate use reduces lead times and prevents costly operational interruptions.

A Powerful Commitment to Sustainability

While the financial returns are clear, this program remains rooted in a profound commitment to environmental responsibility.

Circular Economy

By keeping valuable assets in circulation, the program supports a circular economy, minimizing the need for new raw materials and reducing reliance on resource-intensive manufacturing processes

Carbon Footprint Reduction

The energy required to refurbish components is a fraction of the energy needed to manufacture new ones, which dramatically lowers the overall carbon emissions associated with the production and transportation of goods.

Less Waste, Less Impact

The program diverts usable, valuable materials from landfills, directly reducing landfill waste and protecting natural resources and the environment.

How it Works

1: Decontamination

Customers prepare used components by thoroughly cleaning them.

2: Collection / Shipping

Hart Industries provides convenient shipping instructions or can arrange for the pickup of used materials.

3: Inspection and Refurbishment

Expert technicians inspect, disassemble, and refurbish repairable components to certified standards. Usable parts are reconditioned for future use.

4: Value Recapture

Customers benefit from substantial discounts on new products with refurbished parts or receive credit for their returned components, immediately impacting their bottom line.
