About us

Caterpillar Fluid Transfer Solutions, Inc., formerly Anchor Coupling Inc., has been a major manufacturer of high quality hydraulic hose assemblies since 1938. From plows to rocket launchers, Caterpillar Fluid Transfer Solutions, Inc. (CFTS), has the expertise, the product and the service to make your products more successful.

CFTS proudly carries the Anchor® brand of hose, and we service not only Cat® machines but many additional customer accounts. CFTS’ product line includes SAE, DIN, and JIS hose and couplings in many different configurations from 1/4" to 4" diameter. Braided, high-pressure spiral, and Teflon/stainless hoses are available in industry standard configurations. In addition, many specialty hoses with reduced bend radius and high abrasion covers are designed for rigorous applications with high temperature capabilities. Hose products are MSHA approved, and many have global marine and coast guard certificates. 

Machining, extrusion, brazing, plating, and bending are all done in our facilities.  All assemblies are designed with permanently attached couplings. Specialty assemblies with multiple bend couplings are manufactured to solve tough design issues with severe space limitations.  Controlling the process from start to finish allows us to monitor each step for conformance to standards and to ensure timeliness.

CFTS has a full engineering team to design and test all of our products against standards that meet or exceed industry standards. Close interaction with our customers drives excellent understanding of our customers' products and helps us drive solutions to even the most difficult problems. Additionally, CFTS has application engineers available to collaborate at customer facilities and work sites.  We offer machine audits, design reviews, hose assembly and installation training, and we utilize industry-leading practices to increase safety and reliability while decreasing warranty and overall owning/operating costs.

Caterpillar Fluid Transfer Solutions, Inc., has been a Caterpillar owned company since 1993, and we pride ourselves on high levels of service and responsiveness.
