South African maintenance teams can request a quotation using the machine maker’s part number from a parts book, stores record or old tag. Confirm that the reference matches the machine’s current build and circuit. RHPL accepts those references. We decode the part number into its specification (hose class, end fittings, length and orientation), confirm it with you, and quote an aftermarket assembly built to that confirmed specification.
*Aftermarket assemblies built to the confirmed reference. Not OEM-genuine parts; no OEM approval is claimed.*
When an OEM-reference assembly makes sense
- Out-of-warranty and high-hour machines. Check the machine’s warranty and the buyer’s procurement conditions before considering an aftermarket assembly. A planned rebuild requirement can be reviewed once those conditions and the technical reference are confirmed.
- Rebuilds and shutdowns where dozens of part numbers are needed at once. See planned-shutdown kits.
- Obsolete references where the original assembly is no longer listed, but the machine still runs.
- Workshops that receive part-number lists from mine customers and need a manufacturer to build to them. See local supply partnership.
Machine references you can send
Buyers may send references for machines from makers such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Liebherr, Volvo, Bell, Sandvik, Epiroc, SANY, XCMG, LiuGong and SDLG. Naming a brand here means only that we accept its part numbers as a reference. No OEM approval or authorised dealership is claimed.
How decoding works
- You send the part number with the machine model and serial number. The serial number matters, because the same model can use different hoses across builds.
- We decode the specification. Hose class and size, both end fittings, overall length and orientation. Where a public or customer-provided reference shows the details, we use it; where it does not, we ask for the old hose or photos.
- We confirm with you in writing. You see the decoded specification before you see a price. If anything is uncertain, it is marked as a question.
- We build and tag. The tag can carry your stores number and the OEM reference you sent, alongside the RHPL trace number, so your system can link the two.
What we will not do
- We do not publish or sell machine-to-part-number lists. Your references stay between you and us.
- We do not describe our assemblies as genuine, original or approved parts.
- We do not quote from a part number alone when the specification cannot be confirmed. We ask for the old hose, a photo or a measurement instead.
South African fleet notes
A large truck or shovel can have many hose positions; define the actual replacement scope for the machine. If a TMM machine has been modified in service, the parts-book reference may differ from the fitted hose; confirm the current arrangement. In both cases, the old tag and a photo of the fitted hose are the best tie-breakers. For underground machines, also read TMM hose kits.
Sending a list
A spreadsheet is the easiest format: part number, description from your stores system, quantity, machine model and serial. The enquiry form accepts files up to 5 MB, and WhatsApp works for photos.
