"The eCrimp app is the latest example of Gates listening to our customers, analyzing data from the field and the lab, and synthesizing that information to further improve our market-leading portfolio of fluid power solutions. The app and our other new hydraulics products are a result of our commitment to engineering innovation."

Highlighting the importance of needing to easily communicate crimp specifications to customers, Gates recently introduced innovative, industry-leading hydraulics products, including MegaSys™ MXG™ 4K, MXT™ and Multi Master™ GMV™, which all offer lighter weight, lower force to bend, multi-specification coverage (for reduced inventory requirements) and market-leading performance.
