Hoses are just one part of any hydraulic system and it makes sense for an operator to use the same company to service the entire setup. Streamlining business operations is efficient in itself, but more importantly, integrating hose servicing with the management and maintenance of the whole hydraulic system means all the knowledge and data is held in one place and accessible to expert engineers for review. Driving Forces The roots of Total Hydraulic Management lie in when Pirtek Tyne and Wear needed to expand its service offering. “For a business like us, running 10 hose vans, to build up more business when you’re already big player in a market, is quite difficult. Hydraulics opens up a totally new avenue for us,” Kevin explains.
Pirtek Tyne and Wear is expanding its business, its Total Hydraulic Management extends Pirtek’s existing Total Hose Management model, which involves labelling, cataloguing and systematically servicing hydraulic hoses, resulting in fewer accidents and less downtime. On large machinery and big contracts this investment saves money in the longer run for Pirtek customers. Tyne & Wear – Total Hydraulic Management

To be involved in hydraulics you have to have a lot more training, a lot more industry knowledge; in short – it’s not as simple as hoses.
