A system comprising a flexible tubular slurry hose supported by a plurality of spaced carts which are adapted to move over the surface of the earth or the floor of a mine is interconnected by a plurality of links which can be long and short lengths which are pivotally connected alternately together to the carts along the center line of the slurry hose. The linkages provide support for the hose and prevent strain on the hose during movement of the slurry system. The linkage is further defined so that its ideal geometry will permit bending of the hose as much as 180* without causing buckling or crimping of the hose.
