Warehouse facility, Midvale WA

HDS Hoses Australia was established on behalf of HDS Hydraulik GmbH in 2006, and is

based in Midvale, Western Australia. The business was established to provide fast

turnaround of genuine high pressure hydraulic assemblies for the Mining Original

Equipment Market. With the backing of nearly 50 years of experience from HDS

Hydraulik as a pioneer and technology-leading manufacturer in the hydraulic hose

industry, HDS has expanded to become a niche hose assembly supply and certified

testing facility.

Safety, highest quality, reliability, flexibility and customer service are the core values

of our business.

HDS service a relatively select range of markets; with core business as an OEM hose

supplier into the international mining and construction industries, and servicing the

Marine and Oil markets. HDS focus on industries where the highest standards and

traceability are required to ensure safe and efficient operations and are therefore

genuine hose suppliers to the like of Liebherr, CAT (O & K) and Komatsu. HDS is also

approved to assemble a range of DNV certified hoses.

The HDS warehouse is fully equipped to provide many types of hose assemblies in a

timely manner, and, through constant R&D and its long standing international

relationships, is equipped with the latest in hose technologies.

HDS is dedicated to providing hose assemblies with unmatched quality and customer

service. Our ever-increasing hose stocks have necessitated the construction of a

purpose built hose storage unit in Midvale, which currently holds over 15,000 metres of

hydraulic hose. The majority of the hose and fitting stock comes direct from the

German manufacturing facility. Local supply is also used to complement the product

range.

Traceability All hose assemblies are tagged with an individual serial number, as well as each ferrule (where present) being stamped with a HDS job number and assembly date. All pipe flanges come with 3.1 material certification, and hose fittings are also available with 3.1 certification where requested. With the HDS spiral hose being made under license, we have full traceability of our hydraulic hoses back to the factory, and we work with our other suppliers and factories to provide the same traceability for our industrial hose range. Hose batch numbers, assembly and test dates, and personnel responsible for each stage of the assembly process, are all recorded against the unique serial number for every hose. This BOM production card travels with the assembly throughout the manufacturing, testing and dispatch process. Each production card is stored against a sales order for complete QA traceability. Hydrostatic test reports are available for every hose made and assembled by HDS.
