SOS Hose Services, based in Deeside, Flintshire and established in 1992, provides a range of services to Construction, Agriculture, and Industry.
As the company’s name suggests SOS Hose Services’ primary offer is providing an emergency hydraulic and industrial on-site hose replacement service. Their experienced team of mobile hose technicians possess an in-depth knowledge of hydraulic systems and the unique demands of equipment end-users.
SOS Hose Services has always used premium quality hydraulic hoses and hose fittings, ensuring safety, reliability, and durability. These products meet or exceed industry standards, providing their customers with peace of mind.
Over the past couple of years SOS Hose Services has formed a mutually beneficial working relationship with Ardel OEM Ltd, a supplier of Bridgestone and Intertraco hydraulic and industrial hoses.
SOS Hose Services’ mobile technicians now stock Bridgestone and Intertraco hydraulic hoses and Intertraco hose fittings and ferrules on their vans.
There are several compelling reasons for this decision.
Firstly, both brands manufacture premium quality hydraulic hoses.
Secondly, Intertraco’s comprehensive range of 1 & 2 piece hydraulic hose fittings and ferrules are an ideal match for a wide range of hydraulic hoses.
Thirdly, Intertraco and Bridgestone both manufacture compact and ‘thin cover’ hydraulic hoses which are lighter in weight and have much tighter permissible bend radii than conventionally constructed hoses. This helps the mobile hose technicians replace damaged or worn hoses in very tight locations, for example under an excavator’s engine canopy.
SOS Hose’s Business Development Manager Shaun Yardley comments, “Ardel OEM make an ideal supply partner for our operation. Their products are of premium quality with some useful attributes, they hold stock in depth and their order receipt and despatch processes allow relatively late order submission with a guaranteed next day delivery. Ardel also manufactures hose assemblies, and we use this service for either large diameter hoses or for ultra-high-pressure assemblies which require pressure testing.”
“To sum-up Ardel OEM supply excellent products, they are competitively priced, and their service is superb.”
