Hydraulic Hoses Townsville — Supplied, Cut & Fitted Fast
North Queensland's hydraulic hose specialist. We carry one of the largest stocks of hose and fittings in Townsville, and our trained technicians cut, crimp and fit to exact specification while you wait.
When a hydraulic hose lets go, everything it powers stops with it. A burst hose on an excavator, a split line on a tipper, a weeping fitting on a cane harvester mid-crush — in North Queensland that is not an inconvenience, it is lost production by the hour. Pirtek Townsville exists to turn that downtime around fast: we supply, cut, crimp and fit hydraulic hoses in Townsville to the exact specification of your machine — most of them made up over the counter in around 5 minutes at our Garbutt store.
We are not a general parts shop that happens to sell hose. Hydraulic hose and fittings are the core of what Pirtek does — our technicians make up assemblies to manufacturer specification every day, from a single 1/4" return line to a full set of spiral-wire mine-spec hoses. We hold the biggest range of Caterpillar and metric fittings in the region, plus the hard-to-find and obsolete ones others can't get. Bring the old hose in or send a photo with the dimensions and we build a like-for-like replacement on the spot. If the machine can't come to town, our mobile hydraulic service brings the workshop to your site.

What we make up over the counter
Every assembly is cut to length and crimped to the correct die, built to the right pressure rating for the job — not guessed at. Walk in or call ahead and we'll sort:
Custom hose fabrication
Cut, crimp and fit to your exact inside diameter, pressure rating and end fittings.
Like-for-like OEM replacement
We replicate almost any hose regardless of brand or age — from the sample or the machine details.
Complete hose assemblies
Both ends fitted, tested and tagged, ready to bolt straight back on.
Bulk & fleet orders
Multiple assemblies built to a schedule for workshops and plant operators.
Hose condition inspections
We tell you what needs replacing now and what can wait — before it fails.
How hydraulic hose replacement works at Pirtek Townsville
The fastest repair is the one where we get the spec right the first time. Bring in the failed hose with both fittings still attached if you can — the ends tell us the thread type (BSP, JIC, ORFS, metric, Caterpillar), the angle and the size, which is most of the job. If the hose is gone entirely, the machine make and model usually lets us identify the original from our database. From there we match the hose construction and pressure rating, cut to length and crimp the fittings to the correct die over the counter.
Getting the specification right matters for safety as much as fit. An under-rated hose on a high-pressure circuit is a blowout waiting to happen, and in the Queensland heat and UV a cheap substitute fails far sooner. That is the difference a hydraulic specialist makes — and why operators across the region rely on us rather than fitting whatever is nearest.
Not sure we can help? Send a photo first.
Save yourself a trip. Snap a photo of the hose or fitting and email it to townsville@pirtek.com.au, or call (07) 4725 1789 before you drive in. We'll walk you through exactly what we need to see — or what to bring — so we can confirm we can fix it without you making multiple trips back to the machine.
Range
Hose Types We Stock & Supply
From low-pressure return lines to multi-spiral hose for hydraulic presses and mine-spec assemblies rated to AS/NZS standards, we hold one of the deepest hydraulic hose ranges in North Queensland — backed by the full Pirtek Australia inventory when something out of the ordinary is needed. Every coil is genuine Pirtek hose, cut to length and made up to your machine’s exact specification.
| Hose Category | Applications & Details |

| Wire Braid Hose (SAE 100R1 / R2) | Standard hydraulic applications — widely used across all industries |
| Spiral Wire Hose (SAE 100R9–R15) | Extreme pressure applications — mining and heavy construction |
| Thermoplastic Hydraulic Hose | Compact, lightweight, high-performance — mobile equipment |
| Suction & Return Line Hose | Tank return lines, suction hoses, low-pressure applications |
| Mining Specification Hose | AS/NZS compliant hose for Queensland mine sites |
| PTFE Hose | Chemical resistance, high-temperature applications, food-grade |
| Multi-Spiral Hose | Very high pressure — hydraulic presses, industrial equipment |
| Jack Hose / Workshop Hose | Vehicle hoists, jacks, workshop presses |
Hose fittings, couplings & adaptors
A hose is only as good as the fittings on each end, and the wrong thread is the most common reason a replacement leaks. We carry BSP, JIC, ORFS, NPT, metric and SAE fittings in straight, 45°, 90° and 135° configurations, plus banjo and bulkhead fittings, quick-release couplings, adaptors and reducers, and the hose protection — clamps, sleeves, guards and fire sleeving — that makes an assembly last in the field.
Not sure what you are looking at? Bring the machine specs, the old fitting, or a photo — our team identifies thread types every day. There is a full breakdown on our hydraulic hose fittings page, or for plant and static plant lines see industrial hoses.

Why Choose Us
Why Townsville operators choose Pirtek for hydraulic hoses
The reason is simple: stock, speed and specialists. We hold one of the largest local ranges of hose and fittings, so most jobs are done same-day without waiting on an interstate order. We cut, crimp and fit on the spot rather than sending the work away. And the people doing it are trained Pirtek hydraulic technicians — not generalists — backed by the entire Pirtek Australia network when a job calls for something rare.
For a machine that is already down, every one of those things is the difference between back-to-work today and back-to-work next week. When you cannot get to us, the same capability comes to you through our mobile hydraulic service, and when it is an outright failure, our emergency blowout response is built for exactly that.

Common questions about hydraulic hoses in Townsville
How quickly can you replace a hydraulic hose in Townsville?
For walk-in or in-store service, most standard hydraulic hoses are made up over the counter while you wait — often in around 5 minutes for a straightforward hose. For mobile on-site service, response time depends on location and current workload, and our breakdown vehicles run 24/7. Call us now to get an estimated arrival time for your location.
Can you match any hydraulic hose — including older or OEM hoses?
Yes. Pirtek Townsville can replicate virtually any hydraulic hose regardless of brand, age, or specification. Bring in the old hose (both ends if possible) or call with the hose specifications — inside diameter, outside diameter, working pressure, end fittings and length. If you have the machine make and model, our team can often identify the correct hose from our database.
What hose fittings do you stock?
Pirtek Townsville stocks a comprehensive range of hydraulic hose fittings including BSP (British Standard Parallel and Taper), JIC (37-degree flare), ORFS (O-ring face seal), metric, NPT and SAE fittings. We carry straight, 45-degree, 90-degree and 135-degree configurations in a wide range of sizes.
What does it cost to replace a hydraulic hose?
The price of a hydraulic hose assembly depends on the hose type, length, pressure rating and the end fittings required — a short low-pressure hose is inexpensive, while a long spiral-wire mine-spec hose with specialist couplings costs more. Because we cut and crimp to order, you only pay for what your machine actually needs. Bring the old hose in or call with the specs and we will give you a firm price before any work starts.
Do you supply hoses for agricultural equipment and tractors?
Yes. We supply hydraulic hoses for all agricultural machinery including tractors, harvesters, cane harvesters, boom sprayers and irrigation equipment. We service properties across the Burdekin, Herbert River valley and broader North Queensland agricultural regions. Mobile service is available for farms where transporting equipment is not practical.
How do I know when my hydraulic hoses need replacing?
Signs your hydraulic hoses need attention: visible cracks, cuts or abrasion on the outer cover; bulging or deformation anywhere along the hose; oil seeping around fittings or through the hose wall; hoses that feel stiff or have lost flexibility; and hoses that are more than 5–7 years old. Pirtek Townsville offers hose condition inspections — we’ll assess your fleet or machine hoses and tell you what needs replacement and what can wait.
