If chemical hose handles chemicals, petroleum hose handles petroleum, steam hose handles steam (and so on), then what does material handling hose handle? According to tubes international , Material handling hose often refers to hoses that handle bulk loose materials with high abrasion coefficient. Simply put, material handling hose is used to transport smaller solids such as gravel, sand, cement, and things of the sort.
