One of the country’s leading engineering companies has managed to acquire sole distribution rights to one of the world’s most reliable hydraulic hoses.

According to Khemraj Brijlall, of Technical Services Inc (TSI), the deal will mean that miners and other industrial users of the hoses and their fittings can expect costs to go down because the hoses last way longer than what is available on the local market.
“We have managed to strike a deal with US-owned Eaton for its Aeroquip Hydraulic Hose and the components along with the services and after sales. Eaton’s products are well known for their long lasting reliability,” Brijall explained.
The businessman, who has his operations at the Eccles Industrial Site, East Bank Demerara, has been around since 1998, specializing in general engineering including fabrication of different spares, engine re-building and manufacturing of excavator parts.
The company has also been supplying and servicing excavator components, including hydraulic systems.
According to Alex Lima-Arie, Territory Manager/Sales Engineer, representing Eaton, the services offered can be anywhere from a small hose assembly to a more complex hydraulic system.

“Eaton pumps, motors, transmissions, valves, cylinders, controls, hose and fittings offer a unique combination of proven technology and innovative design that translates directly into reliable performance and enhanced uptime, whether you need a single component, a custom-engineered solution, or anything in between. Eaton is the partner of choice for mobile and industrial applications that simply have to work,” Lima-Arie said.
Workers demonstrated a five-minute hose crimping service in operation.
“There are a few places offering hose crimping. But there is a specific way to do it. If not done right, the hose will break under pressure. If you are in a mining camp in the backdam, and you are depending on that one excavator that went down because of a bad hose, it is gonna cost you. It is better to do it right,” the Eaton official explained.
