The Orlando Business Journal asked owners of the most successful woman-owned businesses in Central Florida to name the most influential woman in their lives. Summer Rodman, President of Amazon Hose, named her grandmother Lorena Jacoby. Lorena successfully ran the family business when the industry was more male dominated and less hospitable to woman business owners.

They have been particularly great at assisting DILO with our order specifications. About half of what we order is off the shelf, and the other half custom. AH&R assists us in determining the proper material and part for our specific need. Amazon also has excellent customer service with a 1-day turnaround for most orders.

Amazon is a stocking distributor for a variety of industrial V-Belts.

We carry traditional A, B, and C belts, along with narrow profile belts and FHP belts. Many sizes are available in both traditional style and the more efficient cogged style.
We can also special order banded belts and matched sets for special applications.

Amazon can remanufacture your old air conditioning hose or power steering hose and help get your car back on the road.

In most cases, the rubber hose wears out with age and the aluminum or steel fittings and tube assemblies on the ends can be reused. Our technicians will cut off the old ends and reuse them by brazing or welding them to new fittings and installing them on a brand new hose.

While we are able to perform this service on most a/c and power steering hose assemblies, there are some exceptions, so it’s best to consult a member of our sales team before bringing in your hose.

Amazon stocks a wide variety of tubing for many different applications. Our extensive selection includes clear PVC, polyethylene, nylon, silicone, polyurethane, latex, and PTFE, along with other special application items such as nylon air-brake tubing. Also, don’t forget we carry all the push-connect and compression fittings you’ll need to finish the job.

Amazon is a leading distributor of all types of hydraulic hose, and can provide complete hose assemblies as well as bulk hose and hydraulic fittings for those with their own crimping equipment.

Most popular is our medium and high-pressure hydraulic hose in both one and two wire braid construction. Designated by the industry specifications 100R1 and 100R2, these are the two types of hydraulic hose you’re most likely to find on small tractors, farm equipment and road construction equipment.

For very high-pressure lines subject to pressure surges and flexing we offer 100R12 and 100R13 four and six spiral wire reinforced hose. With working pressure ratings of up to 6,000 PSI, this hose is typically used on heavy-duty construction and mining equipment, along with high performance industrial machinery.

Thermoplastic hydraulic hose has a nylon tube inside and a polyurethane cover. It is offered in both standard and non-conductive styles and is compatible with most hydraulic fluids in addition to being an ideal hose for CO₂ and nitrogen. The non-conductive style is easily identified by its orange color and is designed to be used where electric shock hazards exist. We stock both single line and twin line 100R7 and 100R8 hose and can most often make assemblies for you in just minutes.

We also carry 100R5 truck hose for air brake, fuel and grease lines, low-pressure push-on hydraulic hose, stainless braided PTFE hose and hydraulic return hose.
