ON-SITE CUSTOM HOSE FABRICATION
Custom hydraulic hose fabrication brought to the equipment location.
What This Service Handles
On-site custom hose fabrication
SIG Hydraulics brings custom hydraulic hose fabrication to equipment locations in a dedicated mobile service unit. The service helps operators avoid trailering disabled equipment solely to replace a supported soft-line hose assembly.
Identification comes before fabrication
Hydraulic connections that look similar are not necessarily interchangeable. Useful identification evidence includes the hose layline, machine documentation, thread outside diameter, thread pitch, sealing surface, seat angle, and O-ring location. A replacement also has to account for fluid compatibility, temperature, impulse demands, pressure rating, and the movement of the equipment.
Routing matters
A replacement assembly needs the correct length and routing. It should not be twisted into place, pulled tight at the fittings, bent more sharply than its specified minimum bend radius, or allowed to rub against edges and moving components. Always follow the hose and equipment manufacturers’ specifications.
Request on-site hose fabrication
Tell SIG where the equipment is located and share the machine details, hose markings, and clear photos when safe. Contact SIG to confirm scheduling and whether the required hose and fittings are supported.
