For a breakdown in South Africa, ask an appropriate local hose service provider about availability. RHPL’s offer is for planned requirements manufactured in India. Buyers can request a complete, checked set of hoses for one machine, built to a confirmed list. The written quotation confirms delivery terms against the proposed rebuild window.
A kit is a group of assemblies for one machine, one circuit or one rebuild scope. Every assembly carries a tag with its position name, and the packing list repeats the tags in the order your fitters will use them.
Three kit types we build for South African fleets
1. Planned-shutdown and component-exchange kits. For haul trucks, shovels, dozers and drills that go into a planned window. The kit is agreed from the scope your planners already have. See planned-shutdown kits.
2. Underground TMM kits. For trackless mobile machinery in PGM, chrome, gold and coal sections: LHDs, drill rigs, roof bolters and utility vehicles, where tight routing makes exact length and orientation critical. See TMM hose kits.
3. Rebuild kits for high-hour machines. For an out-of-warranty machine scheduled for rebuilding, the buyer can define which hoses require replacement after reviewing the circuit condition and maintenance scope. We build from the old hoses, the parts book references or a measured list.
South African fleet profile
A South African requirement may cover a mixed fleet. Large open pits use ultra-class rigid trucks, hydraulic face shovels, large dozers, graders and blast-hole drills from makers such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi and Liebherr. Articulated dump trucks from makers such as Bell and Volvo work in quarries, coal and contract mining. Underground mines run loaders, drill rigs and bolters from makers such as Sandvik and Epiroc, plus many local utility-vehicle builds. References for machines from makers such as SANY, XCMG, LiuGong and SDLG can also be reviewed. Kits for all of these are built in the same way: by machine model and serial number, from confirmed references.
*Aftermarket assemblies built to the confirmed reference. Not OEM-genuine parts; no OEM approval is claimed.*
Planning a kit by mine type
| Mine type | Typical kit scope | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Iron-ore or manganese open pit | Hoist, steering and brake-cooling hoses on trucks; boom, stick and bucket hoses on shovels | Machine model, serial, hour reading, list of positions due |
| PGM or chrome open pit | Same as above, plus drill-rig hose sets | As above, plus drill model |
| Underground PGM, chrome or gold | Full-machine or boom-only kits for LHDs, drills and bolters | Model, serial, old hoses or tags, mine routing photos |
| Coal (opencast) | Dozer, grader and truck hoses; dragline-support equipment | Model, serial, positions |
| Coal (underground) | TMM and section-equipment hoses; fire-resistant cover where the mine specifies | Model, serial, the mine's hose specification |
Tags and position names
We use your position names, not ours. If your planners call it "LH hoist cylinder rod end", that is what the tag says. Tag wording is agreed before manufacture, so the quotation, the tag and the packing list match. The tag also carries an RHPL traceability number, which links the assembly to its test record.
What a kit enquiry needs
- Machine make, model and serial number from the plate.
- The kit scope: full machine, one circuit, or a list of positions.
- The best reference you have for each position: OEM part number, old RHPL tag, another supplier's tag, or measured hose details.
- Photos of the routing where hoses pass through tight spaces.
- The planned window, so that we can tell you in the quotation whether the dates are realistic.
We do not publish machine-to-part-number lists. Kit content is built from your references and stays between you and us.
