Mobile Hydraulic Service Townsville — We Come to Your Machine
Four fully-equipped workshops on wheels — hose supply, cutting, crimping and fitting on your site, in your shed, or wherever your equipment is, with vehicles on the road 24/7 across Townsville & NQ.
Not every hydraulic repair is an emergency — but most of the time it's still more practical for us to come to you than for you to transport the machine. With four dedicated service vehicles on the road, we handle it all on-site, anywhere in Townsville & North Queensland.

Mobile Service FAQs
Common questions about our mobile hydraulic service
How far does Pirtek Townsville's mobile service travel?
Our mobile service unit primarily covers the Townsville metro area and surrounding regions including Charters Towers, Ayr and the Burdekin, and Ingham. For more remote locations or specific project needs, call us to discuss — we can often arrange service for locations further afield. Emergency blowouts receive priority and we’ll always do our best to reach you regardless of location.
Can you do scheduled maintenance visits for mining and construction fleets?
Yes. Pirtek Townsville offers scheduled hydraulic hose maintenance programs for mining operations, construction fleets and large plant operations. Regular inspections and proactive hose replacement during planned maintenance windows is far more cost-effective than emergency breakdown response. Contact us to discuss a maintenance schedule suited to your fleet size and operational requirements.
Do you carry stock on the mobile service vehicle?
Yes. Our mobile service vehicle carries a comprehensive range of hydraulic hoses across common diameters and pressure ratings, along with a wide selection of fittings. For most standard applications we can fabricate and fit your replacement hose on-site without returning to base. For highly specialised specifications we may need to source from our store — but this is the exception, not the rule.
How much does a mobile hydraulic call-out cost in Townsville?
Mobile service is priced on the job — the hose and fittings your machine needs, plus the call-out to your site. For most operators the maths is simple: a single mobile repair that avoids floating a machine to town, or losing a shift of production, pays for itself many times over. Call us with your location and the machine involved and we will explain exactly what is included.
