Crusader Hose commits to the Irrigation Industry Crusader Hose have come from humble origins to become the worldleading manufacturer of hose for travelling irrigators. Over 35 years the company has not only grown in size, but with a dynamic research and development team have developed the world’s best-quality goods. The range of products now includes layflat hose and reel systems for irrigation, fire, and mine dewatering. Noel Gardner from Think Water Whitsunday attests to this, “We are a major supplier of hose and equipment to the sugar industry. The quality and demands on the long lengths
of irrigation hose have caused many challenges for these suppliers. The latest developments by Crusader Hose have brought the Flexidrag® to worlds best standard.” With a culture of continuous improvement, the key developments with Flexidrag® have been both low-pressure flexibility and ease of handling. Technical improvements in concentricity and adding annealing were both achieved after major plant investment and upgrade.
