Common hydraulic problems on mine sites

Loss of pressure or power

Slow or weak operation often points to internal wear rather than an obvious leak. Testing finds the real cause.

Leaks and contamination

Dust, heat and vibration are hard on hoses and seals in this region. We supply hydraulic hoses and fittings as well as fitting them.

Repeat component failure

When a cylinder or pump keeps failing, the circuit is usually the issue. Damaged units can be rebuilt through our Component Rebuild Centre.

On site or in the workshop

Field repairs keep machines producing, and larger jobs come into our Broken Hill workshops where the work can be done under cover and tested.

Urgent failures can be attended through our breakdown support service.
