Hose and related accessories, equipment, and fittings

OVERALL RATING:

http://www.parkerhose.com 

While this homepage seems fairly typical, things get interesting real quick at the second level. This division alone has so many offerings that they've cleverly created a deep, tabbed structure just to find products. The tabs include Products Directory, Division/Brand, Market, Technology, Applications, and Systems—within those are literally dozens of paths to products. Information on product pages is far from abundant, but in many cases is well-supplemented by downloadable catalogs and 2D/3D technical drawings as well as interactive demonstrations for select systems and markets. Convenient links to sales offices and distributors, as well as sizing, selection, and configuration tools, are also included.
