Most companies have a crimper at their shop, forcing you to leave the jobsite to get replacement hydraulic hoses. But for customers where time is even more critical, we take it another step further.
Scenario: A barge and tug need a full hose refit. The vessel is down and operations cannot wait. Most providers would require hoses to be removed and taken back to their building.
That does not work when you are working on a vessel, and the clock is running, so we loaded our mobile crimping unit directly onto the barge so hoses could be measured, built, and installed right where the work was happening, even below the waterline.
Very few companies in the country operate this way. When uptime matters and the timeline is tight, you need a partner built for on-site response. If uptime is important to you, call PIRTEK Milwaukee at 262-345-9900.
