A reputable machinery company needed a reliable solution to perform hydraulic hose repairs directly in the field. The result is a fully equipped, highly organized mobile unit that allows technicians to service equipment on-site, reduce machine downtime, and eliminate the need for transporting heavy equipment off the job.
Why Hydraulic Hose Rebuilds Need to Be Mobile
In industries like construction, mining, agriculture, and material handling, a failed hydraulic hose can bring operations to a halt. Traditional repairs often mean towing machinery to a shop or waiting for parts and technicians to arrive separately—costing valuable time and money.
A Mobile Hose Repair Van addresses this directly. It brings the tools, parts, and capability to the jobsite, allowing field techs to fabricate, crimp, and install hoses without removing the equipment from service. It minimizes delays, keeps crews moving, and adds value to any fleet service operation.
What’s Inside the Mobile Hose Repair Van
The Mobile Hose Repair Van we delivered is designed around technician workflow, durability, and jobsite efficiency. Key features include:
EZ STAK shelving and drawer systems, custom configured to store fittings, dies, tools, and hose inventory in a clean and accessible layout.
A built-in spool rack and steel workbench, designed to support everyday fabrication tasks.
Integrated Parker equipment, including a hydraulic hose saw and crimper, securely mounted and ready for use inside the van.
An onboard inverter system, which powers the saw and air compressor even when the vehicle is off—allowing uninterrupted work without excessive engine idling or additional generators.
LED lighting, power outlets, and climate control, enabling comfortable and safe operation in a variety of field conditions.
Every element of this van was built with long-term usability and field service in mind.
