We offer mobile hydraulic hose service for equipment that cannot easily be moved. Service timing depends on technician availability, location, hose configuration and parts availability. Call the shop to confirm current availability.

We currently manufacture hydraulic hose assemblies up to 1-inch inside diameter. Contact us with your hose information so we can confirm the application.

We fabricate replacement hose assemblies using Kimball Midwest hydraulic hose, fittings and crimping equipment, subject to hose size and application. We currently manufacture hydraulic hose assemblies up to 1-inch inside diameter.

In many cases, yes — our technicians can handle removal and installation as part of the job. Whether that is practical depends on the machine and the hose location, so describe the situation when you call and we will confirm what we can do.

We mainly work on CAT, John Deere, Bobcat and domestic brands of heavy equipment, and we can service hydraulic hoses on most brands.

Yes, whenever possible. The original hose is the best pattern for length, fitting types, fitting orientation and hose size, which helps us match the replacement correctly. Cap the open ports on your machine to keep contamination out while the hose is off.

The most useful information is the hose inside diameter, overall length, the fitting type and size on each end, the fitting orientation and the pressure rating, along with the machine make and model. If you are unsure of any of these, bring the old hose and we can measure it.

Yes, and it helps. Clear photos of both hose ends, the fittings, the hose routing on the machine and any markings printed on the hose give our team a head start on identifying what you need. Call the shop and we will tell you where to send them.

Hydraulic hoses are not patched or spliced — a leaking hose is replaced with a new assembly built to match the original. Attempting to repair a pressurized hose is unsafe and unreliable, so replacement is the standard practice.

Replaced. Industry practice is to replace damaged hydraulic hose assemblies rather than repair them, because a compromised hose cannot be trusted at operating pressure. We fabricate a new assembly matched to the original specifications.

No. Shut the equipment down safely and relieve pressure — a leaking hose can fail completely without warning, and escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure is dangerous. Never feel for a leak with your hand; a pinhole leak can inject fluid through skin, and any suspected injection injury needs immediate medical care.
