Hydraulic hose failures rarely choose a convenient time.

Our 24/7 mobile workshop can attend your site, identify the failed assembly and manufacture a suitable replacement from the stock carried onboard.

On-site hose replacement can remove the delay involved in taking a failed assembly away, sourcing a replacement and returning later to complete the repair. The aim is to get your equipment safely operational as soon as practical.

For emergency mobile hose support, call 08000 247 240.

Every completed hose assembly needs to be checked before it is released to the customer.

The final inspection confirms that the correct hose and fittings have been used, the assembly matches the required specification and the finished item is ready for its intended application.

Here, Jayden is carrying out the last checks on an urgent order before the assemblies are packed and prepared for delivery.

Careful preparation at the workshop helps reduce the risk of fitting problems when the order reaches the customer.

Here's Jayden preparing hydraulic hose assemblies for an urgent customer order.

Before an assembly leaves our workshop, the hose and fittings must be correctly matched to the intended application. Assembly quality also depends on accurate cutting, careful fitting and the correct crimp specification.

Jayden completed the final quality checks before preparing this order for delivery the following morning, helping the customer get the parts they needed without unnecessary delay.

If you need a replacement hose assembly, bring the old hose to our trade counter or contact our team with the specifications.

Hydraulic vs pneumatic: what’s the difference?

Both systems use pressure to power machinery, but one relies on hydraulic fluid while the other uses compressed air. That difference affects the force each system can produce, the components it requires and the faults you may encounter.

Our latest guide explains how each system works, where they are commonly used and how to identify which type of system you are dealing with.

Hydraulic systems use a liquid, almost always oil, to transmit force. Pneumatic systems use compressed air.

Mineral, synthetic and biodegradable hydraulic fluids all have their place, although choosing the right one isn't always as straightforward as it first seems.

The correct hydraulic fluid depends on the equipment you're running, the environment it's operating in and the manufacturer's specification. Using the wrong fluid, or mixing incompatible oils, can affect performance, increase component wear and lead to avoidable downtime.

If you've ever wondered why one machine specifies mineral hydraulic oil while another requires synthetic or biodegradable fluid, our latest blog explains the differences, where each type is commonly used, and what to consider before making the switch.
