HDS Hoses Australia Pty Ltd

HDS is a niche hose assembly and testing facility for all forms of hydraulic and industrial hose. The business was established to provide fast turnaround for genuine hose assemblies for the likes of Terex and Liebherr for their excavator and truck OEM business. HDS has expanded its state of the art facility and increased its production capability and product offering to provide a full range of hydraulic, industrial and offshore hoses for the oil and gas and marine markets. The facility has crimping capability up to 8' with 6 test benches to provide fully certified assemblies to any market requirement. 4 production lines and quality trained staff ensure fast turnaround of hose assemblies with full testing traceability.HDS Hoses Australia Pty Ltd 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. This global market approach for OEM manufacturers continues today supplying genuine hose assemblies across multiple market segments. For a listing of global partners please see attached reference sheet.With the backing of 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 testing facility. The company is flexible and technically driven to provide the correct assembly solutions across many market segments. Through constant R & D and its long standing international relationships the company is equipped with the latest in hose and coupling technology.With 4 production lines, 6 test benches and a purpose built warehouse facility stocking over 15,000m of hose, the facility is fully equipped to provide many types of hose assemblies, quality certified, in the fastest possible turnaround time.For more than 50 years HDS has operated as a leading and innovative manufacturer of a wide selection of couplings and innovative solutions for high pressure applications. The OEM approach to the market has resulted in high quality solutions for mining excavators, earth moving equipment, mechanical process engineering technologies, special transport systems and special purpose equipment.HDS is focused on fulfilling customer needs through developing new products which exceed current standards and define a new status in regards to quality and durability. These innovative solutions contribute to machine performance through reduced fuel consumption and increases in capability. The newly developed solutions become the industry standards many years after introduction.Continuous development is undertaken in-house. All products are impulse tested to in excess of the industry standards and the strict standards outlined by original equipment manufacturers.Hose and Fitting Development:Hydraulic hose is manufactured under a unique HDS work standard which defines and develops parameters for HDS branded hose. This work standard along the continuous development of the fitting range enables HDS to achieve more than 2,000,000 impulse cycles according to ISO 6802 under rotating installation conditions. Faster machines and greater fuel efficiencies required by our OEM partners means continuous improvement to the product range is always on going.Hose Assembly:The Midvale manufacturing facility is currently fitted out with 4 assembly production lines that cater for the entire hydraulic and Industrial range of hose. These production lines cater for both no skive and external and internal skive requirements and have patented angle setting machines for precise angle settings for critical hoses. This specialized tooling is centered on the HDS product enabling reductions in deviations and tolerances in manufacturing.At present HDS hoses have no less than 6 UnIflex and Finn-Power hydraulic hose crimpers at Midvale. Crimping up to 3″ diameter 6 wire hydraulic hose, and up to 250mm for Industrial hose, HDS have the capability to assemble all manner of hoses.Testing & Cleaning:HDS currently houses 4 high pressure bench top testing units, a fully automated and recorded bench top test unit, and a forklift accessible test unit designed to test 6″ 60m assemblies. All the test benches are patented machines engineered and manufactured by HDS Hydraulik for series production. HDS are well positioned to assemble and test a large range of hose assemblies in house, with fast turnaround to relevant Australian and International Standards.All assemblies once tested are cleaned to ISO 4406 cleanliness class 18-16-13. They are dried capped or plugged and sealed in polyethylene bags to prevent contamination.Certifications and MDRs;HDS can provide hydrostatic test reports, or a full MDR containing all 3.1 / 2.1 certs, GA drawing and assembly procedures. Our new range of recordable test benches will store tested data on the company server, enabling HDS to provide schematic certificates of the actual hydrostatic test.GA Drawings:As part of our design process HDS can offer General Arrangement drawings for hose assemblies. GA drawings come standard with full MDRs and are a great aid in hose design and data sheet creation. The visual layout of the hose often settles any queries and is a great addition to written hose data sheets and guidelines.Kitting Program:HDS have extensive experience in designing kit programs for machinery in preventative maintenance to provide optimum service levels and machine performance. Working closely with the OEM manufacturer hose kit change-outs are developed for specific sections of the machine with recommended working hour.Hose Audits and Re-designs:HDS have qualified hose Inspectors and Technicians who can undertake Hose Audits on all types of hydraulic equipment, in house, within the Perth metro area, Offshore and remote sites. Our experience extends from audits undertaken on large hydraulic excavators through to Offshore gas platforms off the coast of Western Australia.All audit staff have MSIC clearance and have undertaken OPITO approved BOSIET training in order to work in the Offshore and Maritime Industry.
