Versatile Solutions: Hydraulic Master Assortments

Written by Kimball Midwest | August 1, 2024

Did you know Kimball Midwest has been expanding? Not only in our reach across the country providing maintenance, repair and operation products to all, but also in our line of hydraulics!

 

The expansion ensures more choice for customers. Our mixed size drawers are for customers who want a smaller footprint focused on common products. These are better for those who want a setup for the unplanned job when you don’t know what to expect or need.

 

At Kimball Midwest, we call these all-inclusive setups master assortments. Master assortments are a comprehensive set of parts designed to cover your day-to-day maintenance needs for the most frequently used items.

 

Master assortments are the combination of multiple assortments, which are typically grouped by size within a product line. Below is an example of a popular product line in a master assortment (Buna-N 90 grouped by diameter.)

 

 

What other master assortments can we offer you? Here is a quick rundown of our hydraulic and fluid flow options that will ensure you’re covered from every angle when a job comes your way.

 

O-Rings

In addition to the Buna-N 90 O-Rings Master Assortment mentioned above, there are three other assortments for your specific needs, as well.
