What a dealer or stockist does
- Buys from Raipur Hydraulics and holds its own stock in Ghana
- Sells and invoices its own customers: contractors, plants, workshops and licensed small-scale miners
- Crimps hoses locally from bulk stock where it has the equipment, and orders finished assemblies and kits for larger or more complex jobs
- Provides local service, advice and fitting
Sales to mining companies follow the Minerals Commission's procurement list; a dealer that meets its conditions can serve mines as a Local Supply Partner.

A starting stock for a Ghanaian hose shop
[INF] Plan stock from your own customer fleet and sales records. A starting review can consider: 1. Working sizes of R2 for excavators, loaders and graders 2. Large-bore 4SH and R13 for haul trucks and shovels, in the sizes your customers' fleets use 3. ORFS and JIC fittings for US-designed machines, and metric DIN for European and Chinese machines 4. SAE code 61/62 flange heads and clamps for large-bore lines 5. Corrosion-resistant fittings (zinc-nickel plated or stainless steel) for humid, coastal and port customers 6. Pump and dewatering hose ahead of the rainy seasons, when sump pumps run hardest
We can help you plan a first order around the machines your customers run.
Seasonal demand in Ghana
[INF] Use your own workshop and customer records to decide whether demand changes with local weather. Before wet periods, review mud-exposed articulation lines and sump-pump hose needs. For dry or dusty periods, check whether customers need capped replacement assemblies, protection at rub points or hoses rated for measured engine-bay temperatures. These are planning questions to check against your own records. Record quantities sold, the machine position, the observed failure and the stock left on hand. That evidence can guide the next order without assuming a fixed seasonal pattern or promising local availability.

Questions before an enquiry
Useful answers.
Can a small hose shop become a stockist?
Yes. Start with a focused order around your customers' main machines; we can help size it. Terms are agreed in writing.
Will I need my own crimping machine?
Not necessarily. You can stock finished assemblies and kits, or crimp from bulk hose if you have suitable equipment. Many shops do both.
Can I sell to mining companies as a dealer?
Mining-company purchases must follow the current procurement list and applicable rules. Other buyers also need a purchase-specific check; no industry label creates a blanket exemption.
