How a kit is put together
- Machine identity — make, model, serial number and attachments. The serial matters because hose routing changes between production runs.
- Position list — we build a list of hose positions by circuit (hoist, steering, boom, stick, bucket, travel, pilot, cooling). Where you have old tags, we map them to positions.
- Your approval — you confirm the list, including which positions you want as a full set and which as critical spares only.
- Build and tag — each assembly is crimped, pressure-tested, capped and tagged with its position reference.
- Kit documentation — a kit list that your stores and maintenance planners can use for re-ordering.
Ghana's fleet profile
The kit programme covers rigid haul trucks, large excavators and face shovels, wheel loaders, dozers, graders, water carts and blast-hole drills. Send the actual make, age, configuration and hose positions of each machine; no particular fleet mix is assumed. You can send references for machines such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr, Hitachi, Volvo, Sandvik, Epiroc, SANY, XCMG, Shantui, LiuGong and SDLG. Aftermarket assemblies built to the confirmed reference. Not OEM-genuine parts; no OEM approval is claimed.
Two planning situations where kits can help: - If a fleet changes hands. A contractor acquiring used machines should check the available hose records rather than assume that the fitted assemblies match the original parts book. A position-wise kit list can provide a consistent baseline. See Contract Mining & Earthworks. - Wet-weather inspection. Mud can hide damage and hold abrasive material around exposed positions. Kits let you replace a whole exposed group at a planned stop rather than one hose at a time.
Planning kits around Ghana's seasons
[FACT] The 2017 Tarkwa-Nsuaem municipal profile describes March–September rainfall and November–February drier months for that municipality. [INF] Adapt the following inspection plan to your site records and actual conditions: - Before the rains: replace or inspect articulation, blade, ripper and low-mounted hoses on loaders, dozers and graders; check suction and discharge lines on sump pumps. - During the rains: hold critical-position spares for haul-truck hoist and steering circuits and excavator boom and stick lines. - In the dry months: focus on dust control when lines are opened, and on heat-exposed positions in engine bays.
Kit types we quote
- Full machine kits (every position)
- Critical-spares kits (positions whose failure stops the machine)
- Component kits (one cylinder, one circuit, one attachment)
- Rebuild kits for machines going through a major overhaul
- Drill-rig kits for blast-hole and production drills
- Underground kits for loaders, jumbos and bolters
Questions before an enquiry
Useful answers.
What should I send for a fleet hose kit in Ghana?
Machine make, model and serial number, hose positions or old tags, and photos where tags are missing. We build a tagged kit list for your approval before quoting.
Can you kit a used fleet with no hose records?
Yes. We start from serial numbers and photos, build a position list and confirm each build with you. Each assembly is then tagged so that future re-orders are simple.
Can a Ghanaian mine order kits directly?
Mining companies should check the current Minerals Commission procurement list, because hoses and fittings may need to come through a Ghana-incorporated supplier. We quote such suppliers. Contractors can enquire directly where their applicable procurement rules permit.
Do kits include part-number lists?
No. Kits are documented by machine and position with RHPL tag references. We do not publish machine-to-part-number lists.
