The Real Cost ofHydraulic Failureon Your Site

We get it. When a 30-tonne excavator stops moving because of a failed hydraulic line, the consequences ripple through the entire project. It’s not just the cost of the repair part itself; it’s the cost of a stalled project.

Operator Downtime: An idle operator and machine can cost hundreds of dollars per hour.
Project Delays: Every hour of lost work can impact project milestones, potentially leading to penalties and a damaged reputation.
Chain Reaction: One stalled machine can halt the work of dump trucks, graders, and entire crews, creating a costly bottleneck.
Safety Risks: A poorly repaired or failing hydraulic system can pose a significant safety hazard to your team and the public.

Our entire service is built around eliminating these problems. We don’t just fix a hose; we restore your site’s productivity and profitability with a sense of urgency that matches your own.

Our Specialised Hydraulic Services for Your Site

We provide a complete range of on-site and workshop services tailored to the heavy machinery that keeps your projects moving. Our service vehicles are fully equipped workshops on wheels, ready to handle any challenge your site throws at us.

On-Site Hydraulic Hose & Fitting Replacement

A blown hose is the most common cause of machinery downtime. Our mobile service is the fastest solution in Adelaide. We come to you, whether you’re in the CBD, the northern suburbs like Two Wells and Riverlea, or down south.

Our technicians arrive with a massive inventory of high-quality hydraulic hoses, fittings, and adaptors to suit all major brands of earthmoving equipment, including Caterpillar (CAT), Komatsu, Hitachi, Bobcat, and Kubota. We can identify, measure, cut, crimp, and install a brand-new hose assembly right there on your site. This means you don’t have to waste hours removing the damaged hose, driving to a workshop, and waiting for a replacement to be made. We solve the problem in a single visit, ensuring the new hose is routed correctly and installed to factory specifications to prevent future failures.

Urgent Hydraulic Ram & Cylinder Repairs

A leaking or failing hydraulic ram can cripple the most powerful machinery, from an excavator’s bucket arm to a loader’s lifting mechanism. We specialise in the rapid diagnosis and repair of hydraulic cylinders.

Our process is designed for maximum efficiency:

On-Site Diagnosis: We first come to your site to accurately diagnose the problem, determining if it’s a simple seal failure or something more complex.
Safe Removal: Our technicians can safely remove the faulty ram from your machinery.
Workshop Overhaul: We then transport the ram to our fully equipped workshop for a complete strip-down, inspection, and repair. This includes precision honing, resealing, and pressure testing to ensure it meets or exceeds OEM standards.
Priority Re-installation: Once repaired and tested, we bring the ram back to your site for professional re-installation and system testing, getting your machine back in service.

Built for Adelaide’s Tough Environments: Proactive Protection

Adelaide’s work sites are demanding. From the abrasive rock in Adelaide Hills quarries to the fine, corrosive dust of coastal developments and the mud of winter projects, your hydraulic systems are constantly under attack. We offer more than just reactive repairs; we provide solutions to extend the life of your equipment.

Abrasion Protection for Harsh Terrain

One of the leading causes of hose failure is external abrasion—hoses rubbing against the machine’s frame, tracks, or other hoses. This is a constant issue on machinery that is articulating and moving all day. We can fit your equipment with robust protective solutions to prevent this common problem.

Spiral Guard: This tough plastic wrap acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the hose from cuts, rubbing, and impacts. It’s an essential upgrade for any machinery working in rocky or demolition environments.
Hose Sleeving: We can install durable textile or metal sleeves that provide an extra layer of protection against abrasion and high heat, perfect for hoses routed near engines or exhaust systems.

By investing in these simple, low-cost solutions, you can prevent expensive, time-consuming hose blowouts and dramatically improve the reliability of your fleet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. How fast is your emergency response time in Adelaide?

We prioritise emergency breakdowns to minimise your downtime. Our response time depends on your specific location and traffic conditions, but our goal is always to dispatch a fully-equipped service vehicle to your site as quickly as possible. We operate 24/7 because we know hydraulic failures don’t stick to business hours. For the most accurate ETA, please call us directly.

2. How much does a mobile hydraulic hose repair cost?

The final cost is based on three things: a standard call-out fee, the time required for the job (labour), and the cost of the specific hoses and fittings needed. While we can’t give a fixed price over the phone, we are always transparent about our costs on-site before we begin work. The cost of our rapid, professional repair is a small investment compared to the significant cost of having an entire project stalled.

3. Do you carry parts for my specific excavator or loader brand?

Yes. Our mobile service vehicles are stocked with an extensive range of high-quality hoses, fittings, and adaptors to suit all major brands of construction and earthmoving machinery. This includes Caterpillar (CAT), Komatsu, Hitachi, Bobcat, Kubota, and many more. In most cases, we can manufacture and install a replacement hose assembly on-site that meets or exceeds OEM specifications.

4. Is it better to repair or replace a damaged hydraulic ram?

This depends entirely on the type and extent of the damage. A simple leak can often be fixed with a cost-effective reseal in our workshop. However, if the cylinder barrel is badly scored or the chrome rod is bent or deeply pitted, a full replacement is often the more reliable and safer long-term solution. Our technicians will give you an honest, expert assessment to help you make the best financial decision.

5. Can you really fix everything on-site?

We can perform almost all hydraulic hose and fitting replacements directly on your site from our mobile workshops. For major hydraulic ram repairs that require specialised machinery, such as barrel honing or extensive fabrication, we will safely remove the component and transport it to our fully-equipped workshop. We then complete the job by returning to your site for professional re-installation and testing.
