3rd Quarter 2017
Hydraulic systems & components
Hyflo is now a distributor of high quality Parker hydraulic hose and fittings, which are available at all Hyflo branches in South Africa and Namibia. The core ranges include the 301TC (2SN), 421TC (1SN), 701TC (4SP), 731TC (4SH), and 797TC (exceeds R15) series No Skive hoses. All hoses have been imported with tough cover, which is 80 times more abrasive resistant than standard cover, as well as being Mine Safety and Health Administration (MHSA) approved, which make them ideal for mining applications. Super-tough cover and other hose series are available on request. All Parker hose and fittings are also ABS, DNV, Lloyds and USCG approved.

To reduce downtime, the Parker Tracking System (PTS) is available on request. This is designed to increase speed, accuracy and timing of preventive maintenance and repairs. The PTS captures and records hose assembly information through a unique eight-digit ID, which can be used to replace the hose assembly regardless of where the original assembly was made, thereby eliminating the need for samples.
Parker hose and fittings are suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including agriculture, marine and off-shore, mining, defence and factory automation. With a Level 3 BBBEE rating, Hyflo distributes leading brands of fluid power components and designs, manufactures, installs, commissions, maintains and repairs fluid power systems.
