The Cost Of Downtime

At BOA Hydraulics, we are pleased to bring you the latest release of the BOA Uptime Calculator, a tool showing contractors how much money they could save from current hydraulic machinery downtime.

With the Uptime Calculator, companies can calculate their potential savings when working with BOA’s integrated solution for hydraulic hose repair and maintenance.

The BOA Uptime Calculator illustrates how much you could save in:

• Hydraulic machinery downtime
• Estimated savings in terms of hose repair, fittings, and oil
• Reduction of oil lost onsite for reduced environmental impact.

How do I calculate my savings with the BOA Uptime Calculator?

The Uptime Calculator is easy to use, and works off average calculations based on the industry you operate in.

1. Go to the BOA Hydraulics Uptime Calculator.
2. Enter your company details, including the industry you’re operating in.
3. Enter the number of hydraulic machinery assets you’re managing.
4. Click ‘See how much you could save’ to get your calculated monthly and annual savings in blown hoses and costs, downtime hours, and oil lost.
5. Compare the results with your current hydraulic hose repair bills and your estimated hours of downtime.
6. Want to know more about your potential savings? Call BOA Hydraulics New Zealand on 0800 20 20 20 and 1800 40 30 40 for BOA Hydraulics Australia. You may also visit our BOA website to learn more about the BOA integrated solution.

Save dollars and downtime on hydraulic machinery and turn wasted time back into profit

Companies operating hydraulic machinery in high-pressure environments can experience regular machinery breakdowns from blown or damaged hoses. When hydraulic machinery experiences failure, it can cost a lot of time and money to get operations back up and running.

This particularly affects companies working in forestry, civil and other construction, demolition, mining, and quarrying industries. For companies managing a large amount of hydraulic-run assets, and/or working in isolated rural areas, the time and costs associated with fixing hydraulic hoses can stack up.

We understand the importance of having a superior product when working in these high-pressure environments.

At BOA Hydraulics, we empower hydraulic machinery operators to take control of their downtime by providing a 360-degree hydraulic hose repair and maintenance solution, which includes:

• The BOApod: a mobile trailer or Ute-mounted unit, housing German-precision machinery
• Quality products: a wide range of Yokohama hose and matched fittings
• People support: training and business support for those using the BOA solution
• The BOAhub app: A hydraulic hose repair management repair web portal  and mobile app. This app enables online ordering and management of inventory and assets more effectively.

Depending on the industry, our integrated solution can reduce downtime by up to 85%, saving companies thousands of dollars every year.

With the BOA integrated solution, companies also gain greater autonomy over their operations onsite, which can reduce health and safety risks of bringing third-party contractors onsite.

An onsite solution that will get you back up and running in 30 minutes
