The BOApod sparks interest among civil contractors in Rotorua, New Zealand. The BOApod is a mobile hydraulic hose repair unit that enables the user to assemble hydraulic hoses following the same principles used in original manufacturing facilities. What better way to find out how people like to work and what’s important to their business than to go where they go. BOA did just that by attending the Civil Contractors New Zealand Conference in Rotorua. BOA saw this as a great opportunity to hear from civil contractors directly about the challenges they face and how we can help.

The team had a chance to meet many of the attendees and discuss how they manage teams and suppliers when it came to hydraulic hoses.

Key messages from civil contractors

The key messages the BOA team heard from civil contractors included:

  • It is paramount to keep team members safe on worksites
  • There is great pressure for contractors to meet project deadlines
  • It is incredibly frustrating waiting for mechanical, engineering, and hydraulic repairers to come onsite and fix blown hoses.

Many civil construction sites have multiple teams in one area, so having a machine out of action for one team can have a knock-on effect to others. This can have significant impacts on the overall progress of the project. 

The BOA team are very aware of this pain point, which gave them a great opportunity to talk about the benefits of the BOA onsite hydraulic hoses repair and maintenance solution, a game changer for many businesses. Their discussions around repair and maintenance costs, opportunities to save money and improve productivity really struck a chord with attendees.

BOApod demonstration

Many attendees were interested to hear about BOA’s offering of up-skilling staff to do their own hydraulic hose repair and maintenance and took time to head outside to see BOA’s latest innovation, the BOApod.

As part of our Integrated Solution, BOA provides world-class hydraulic hoses, fittings, and crimping and cutting machinery in one all-terrain mobile unit. This enables contractors to assemble and replace their hydraulic hoses onsite to get back up and running in under 30 minutes. 

Alongside providing the best quality tools for the job, BOA Hydraulics' comprehensive training and ongoing support to civil contractors maintains worker safety as a top priority, and educates contractors on best hydraulic practices.

Simon Bridges, Leader of the Opposition, was very keen to hear about this patent pending design, discussing the need within the Civil and Forestry industries to keep downtime to a minimum.
