With an extensive network of 19 service centres in South Africa and a fleet of more than 65 mobile workshops, Pirtek is the market leader for on-site hose replacement. Pirtek’s mobile sales and service units are designed as on-site workshops and are completely equipped to reduce downtime and increase productivity.

The latest vehicle in the fleet, operating out of the Isando branch, has custom fit storage – a drawer that provides a completely dust-free environment for components – a Finnpower hose crimper, a hose cut-off saw, hose storage, a vice and hose cleaning kit for post hose assembly cleaning.

All mobile service units in the Pirtek fleet carry up to 3 cm bore high pressure hose and a wide range of hose fittings and adaptors. Certain mobile service vehicles are also equipped to manufacture 5 cm assemblies on site. The service vehicles are available on a 24/7 basis to service any customer requirements on site. The flagship Isando vehicle will be the new standard for any new or replacement vehicles within the Pirtek fleet.

Part of the global Pirtek network, Pirtek Southern Africa is a provider of fluid transfer solutions and on-site repairs.
