SOS Hose Services, established in 1992 in Deeside, Flintshire, serves the Construction, Agricultural, and Industrial sectors. Specialising in emergency hydraulic and industrial on-site hose replacements, their skilled mobile technicians bring extensive hydraulic systems expertise to equipment end-users.
The company uses only high-quality hydraulic hoses and fittings that meet or exceed industry standards, ensuring safety and reliability. Recently, SOS Hose Services has partnered with Ardel OEM Ltd, enabling their mobile units to carry Bridgestone and Intertraco hydraulic hoses and Intertraco fittings and ferrules.
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.”
