When a hydraulic hose fails, the clock starts ticking. Every hour of downtime costs time, money and momentum. At Ryco 24/7 Fraser Coast, we understand the importance of getting machines back up and running quickly. That’s why our mobile response team is always ready to act fast, with the right parts, tools and knowledge to solve the problem on-site.

To show you what that looks like in practice, here are a few real-world examples of how we’ve helped Fraser Coast businesses bounce back from breakdowns.

Breakdown on a Back Road Earthmoving Job

A local earthmoving contractor was working on a drainage project on the outskirts of Maryborough when the main boom line on their excavator burst. With no backup machine and a tight deadline, the job was at risk of falling behind.

Our team arrived on site within 40 minutes. We diagnosed the failure, built a new hose using Ryco fittings from the van and had the excavator back in operation within 90 minutes of the original call. The customer avoided any lost project time and kept their crew on the tools for the day.

Harvesting Delay Avoided on a Fraser Coast Farm

A sugarcane farmer near Howard had a harvester lose hydraulic pressure during a busy harvest run. A blown return hose meant the entire harvest line was idle. With weather threatening and machinery booked back-to-back, any delay would have impacted the week’s yield.

We responded immediately and arrived on-site that same morning. The hose was removed, rebuilt to spec and tested, all while the rest of the team prepared to restart operations. Within two hours, the machine was back in the field. The farmer later told us, “That call-out saved the whole week.”

Coastal Crane Failure Fixed Same Day

A mobile crane working on a commercial construction site in Hervey Bay experienced a hose failure on its steering system. With a concrete pour scheduled that afternoon, the crane needed to be operational by midday or the entire schedule would shift.

We were on location within 30 minutes of the first call. After isolating the system and inspecting it for further wear, we replaced the faulty hose and conducted a pressure test to ensure the system was functioning correctly. The crane passed inspection and was working again just in time for the concrete delivery.

Why Fast Response Makes a Difference

Our mobile hydraulic service is designed to provide urgent support. We know that towing equipment, waiting in a queue or trying to diagnose issues alone is not always practical. Our response vans are fully equipped with crimping tools, fittings, and hose stock to handle a wide variety of makes and models.

Whether you operate agricultural machinery, transport fleets, heavy equipment or marine hydraulics, we are ready to help you stay on track.
