Strato Inc.: Locomotive Multiple Unit Hose Assemblies

Strato Inc.


Inventory and material handling costs can be reduced by standardizing multiple unit hose assemblies, the company says. Since many assemblies are within an inch of each other, there is no need to stock a large variety of MU hoses. Strato assemblies are available from stock and can be shipped the same day an order is placed.  The quality assurance program at Strato complies with AAR Standard M1003 (latest issue). Strato's gladhands are made to AAR specifications, gauges and 100 percent pressure-tested with air under water. The company's hose and fittings are manufactured to AAR M-618 and M-927 specifications.
