ParkerStore offers a local source of hydraulic and pneumatic products, backed by the knowledge and application expertise of store teams that are focused on building on-demand hose assemblies to minimise downtime and maximise production uptime and efficiency for its customers.

ParkerStore Limpopo was established to answer the demand in the province for hydraulic hoses and fittings, as well as pneumatic, filtration, sealing and shielding components, instrumentation and spare parts for heavy to light duty equipment and machinery. Applications are in the aerospace, mining, construction, agriculture, transportation and heavy and light transportation manufacturing industries. The modern purpose-built facility covers over 800 m², with strong stockholding of all products. “Our goal is to improve your productivity and profitability by delivering everything you need for your motion and control related applications in one place. ParkerStore Limpopo supplies complete turnkey solutions to OEM specifications for hydraulics, hoses, fittings, pumps, motors, valves and pneumatics,” he continued.

ParkerStore Limpopo does not stop at supplying reliable products. It has knowledgeable internal sales personnel on hand and a technical team is available to answer all questions 24/7 through the Hose Doctor field services unit. A Hose Doctor is a workshop on wheels with qualified technicians able to do fabrication at any location. “Providing solutions to your motion and control challenges is at the core of what we do,” concluded Nkadimeng.
