If you know, you know.

A hose, a coupling, a pressure gauge. If you work with machinery, you’ll know these aren’t just bits of equipment. Each has a job to do, and the details matter.

They're part of the everyday language of hydraulics, recognised across industries even if the applications are different.

Do you work with hydraulic equipment? Get in touch with your local Pirtek team; we’re here to help.

When bigger really does mean better.

Large-bore components like these are a reminder of the scale of some of the equipment and applications our teams support.

Behind every component is a requirement to understand the application, the equipment and the conditions it needs to perform in.

A small glimpse into some of the engineering work happening across heavy industry.

If you need to discuss a large-bore application, contact your local Pirtek team.

New vans are arriving on the Pirtek network. But this isn't really a story about vans; it's about investment.

Investment in the equipment our technicians use, the working environment they have on the road and the capability we can offer our customers.

Each new vehicle puts another fully equipped technician on the road, strengthening our ability to respond and support customers across a wide range of industries.

A great addition to the fleet and another step forward for the service we provide.

Race weekend is here.

The countdown is over as former Pirtek employee Aaron Cooke Racing heads to Brands Hatch for his GT Cup Championship debut with Jolt Racing.

And he’ll be doing it behind the wheel of a McLaren Artura GT4.

After multiple championship titles, Aaron is taking on a completely new challenge this weekend, and we’re proud to be behind him as he takes this next step in his racing career.

Good luck, Aaron! Give that McLaren everything. We’ll be cheering you on!

A lot of the work that makes a service dependable happens before anyone arrives on site.

It’s not just the technician, the equipment or the work itself. It’s also the systems, processes and standards that support every job.

We’re proud to share that Pirtek Leyton has achieved Achilles UVDB Verify Category B2 Silver+, recognising their approach to health & safety, environmental and quality practices and procedures.

It’s an achievement that reflects the team behind the scenes as much as the certificate itself.

Find out more about what Silver+ means for Pirtek in our latest case study.

When was the last time someone properly looked at the hydraulic hoses on your machinery?

Our technicians carry out complimentary hydraulic hose surveys to help customers identify visible wear, damage, leaks and other issues before they turn into an unexpected problem.

It’s also an opportunity to understand what hoses are fitted to your equipment and whether anything needs attention or replacing in the future.

A little time spent inspecting your machinery could help you avoid an unwelcome surprise later.

Get in touch with your local Pirtek team to arrange your complimentary hose survey.

For our technicians, health and safety is about so much more than wearing the right PPE.

It’s understanding the environment, following site procedures, identifying hazards, and making sure the work is planned and carried out safely.

Every site is different, but the responsibility to protect our technicians, customers, and everyone working around them remains the same.

It’s that careful approach that matters every time our technicians arrive on site, no matter the industry, equipment, or job.
