Rethink Restart Hydraulic Hose Repair

BOA Hydraulics sees a real opportunity to work with customers and industry members, highlighting the hidden costs in their business through loss of productivity due to downtime, and communicating the importance of taking care of some of your biggest and most expensive assets - your hydraulic machines.

BOA Hydraulics - Rethink. Restart.

BOA Hydraulics has a tag line of "Rethink. Restart.", meaning you can still rethink how you do your hydraulic hose repair and restart it better than what you did in the past. 

We are also leading the way when it comes to hydraulic hose repair & maintenance, and with our latest patent-pending innovation have designed a solution that takes into consideration the environmental conditions and challenges faced by those in agriculture, forestry, and construction.

Our mission and purpose

Since 2014 Simon Boakes and co-Director Greg Boakes, have had their finger on the pulse of the hydraulics industry. With over 55 years’ collective experience, they identified a need to provide contractors and hydraulic service providers in heavy machinery industries with the right equipment and ‘know-how’ to undertake hydraulic hose repairs and preventative maintenance programmes. 

BOA is encouraging those with hydraulic machines to understand how effective care and maintenance of hydraulic hoses have a direct correlation to productivity and in turn profitability.

Proactive hydraulic hose repair and maintenance

The upfront time requirements of transitioning to proactive work can feel like an obstacle when you’re busy. However, if it is not done, it will only create more work in the future. Preventative maintenance is about leveraging the cost and time benefits of thinking ahead. 

Preventative maintenance in terms of hose & fittings is a win-win solution: if you keep on top of it, your machines perform at their best and you can generally avoid surprising malfunctions. 

We understand that if you don’t schedule maintenance for your machines, or your customer’s machines, the machine will schedule it for you. This is the perfect chance to turn wasted time into profit. 

Building an effective preventative maintenance programme

With the right preventative maintenance programme:

  • You're less likely to have hydraulic hoses blow whilst in service. This saves costly downtime, reduces risk of injury, and minimizes environmentally harmful oil spills.
  • You can make considerable savings from reduced hose bills, downtime during operational hours, and oil loss.
  • There is less risk of oil contamination from hoses replaced in sub-optimal environments.
  • If you are servicing someone else’s machine, you add value by combining additional hydraulic hose services into your offerings.

It's important to think about hydraulic repairs and maintenance as more than just fixing a blown hose. The hydraulics industry is moving forward with the times - it’s important to challenge the status quo, which is reactive. 

As machines become smarter and more connected, we need the right tools, training and technology to support them. This empowers us to understand and predict the behaviour of assets in view of better cost and time efficiencies. 

By providing these key components to heavy machinery operators, BOA Hydraulics allows businesses to take control and be more accountable, enabling a much better understanding of assets and driving better business outcomes. 


The BOA Integrated Solution

BOA Hydraulics has considered these important industry needs when bringing together their complete offering. This is called the BOA Integrated Solution.

The key to the BOA Integrated Solution - whether setting up yourself or using one of the service mechanics running a BOA facility - is the assurance of commitment and quality. Each element helps us reach our core objective: to achieve better hydraulic hose repair and maintenance.

The 4 components of the BOA Integrated Solution include:

  • The BOApoda mobile trailer or Ute mounted unit, housing the German precision machinery
  • People support: training and business support for those using the BOA solution and the intelligent 
  • Quality products: a wide range of Yokohama hose and matched fittings
  • BOAhub app: a multi-device app that allows online ordering and management of inventory and assets more effectively. 

We believe there's a better way to do things. Businesses working with heavy machinery should evaluate how they repair and maintain their hydraulic hoses, and seek better solutions. It's not to late to Rethink and Restart.
