A mobile hose fitter crimping a hose beside a stopped machine in Australia

What is still stopped, and where it has got to.

A hose van does not run a diary, it runs a list of machines that are not working. Called in, rolling, on site, going again: the stage is what the contractor rings to ask about, so it is the first thing the page shows.

Pro

The van that names a time takes the job.

Pro scores your open slots by the driving each one adds, so the hour you promise at two in the morning is an hour you can actually make.

  • Ranked by the running they add

    Open slots come back in order of how much extra driving each one puts on the van, with the least worst marked, rather than as a flat list.

  • Your hours, night ones included

    Availability is what you set. Run a twenty four hour phone and the page offers twenty four hour slots; do not, and it says so plainly.

  • Sized to the job being booked

    A roadside tipper hose and a full fleet changeout are not the same length, so the slot offered is the length of the one they picked.

A new job being assigned, with three open slots ranked by how much travel each one adds to the day. The slot that adds the least is marked best.

The address is the third gate past the silo.

Half your jobs have no street number. Take the gate and the landmark, and keep the pit under the contractor so the next call already knows the way in.

  • A gate and a landmark, not a lot number

    Nearest address plus the detail that actually gets you there: which gate, which pad, who holds the key and whether the track is wet.

  • The site stays under the contractor

    One earthmoving company, six pits. Each keeps its own access notes and induction requirements instead of living in one long note.

  • Where you will drive, and where you will not

    Set the areas you cover. Anything past them is turned away on the page rather than landing in your run and being sorted out by phone.

Booked at twenty past two, from a gate.

No callback, no haggling over a rate at that hour. A time, a machine and directions somebody can actually follow in the dark.

The machine remembers what you made up.

Hose spec, fitting type and pressure rating sit against that unit, so the next call about it is a two-minute stock check instead of a guess.

Who is on the phone tonight.

A second van is only worth having if the callout reaches whoever is actually on. Each fitter has their own hours, and the board honours them.

Built for your trade

Built for the machines that actually stop

Excavator down mid-shift on a civil job

The most time-critical work you do, and the reason the van carries stock. Booked at a genuine next slot rather than promised a callback.

Header or spray rig in harvest

A day lost is a crop at risk and the paddock is forty minutes off the highway. The gate directions go on the job, not in your head.

Tipper ram or tailgate lifter, roadside

Often needing to be moved before it can be worked on properly. The truck fleet stays one customer with each unit under it.

Front-end loader in a quarry pit

The pit keeps its own access notes and induction requirements, so the second breakdown there is not a fresh set of directions at dawn.

Scheduled changeout on a shutdown

The planned work. A fleet through a shutdown window with hoses replaced before they let go, booked ahead and quoted as a block.

Telehandler or forklift on a shed floor

Short jobs that pay well and fill the gaps between breakdowns, priced by the hour with the callout sitting on its own line.

Crane truck and EWP hydraulics

Hire fleets that cannot let a unit sit. Their yard, their fleet numbers and every hose you have made up for them on one card.

Crusher and conveyor hoses on fixed plant

Not mobile, still stopped. Kept as a site under the contractor with its own history rather than dumped in with the machines.

Skid steer or posthole digger on a fencing run

Small gear a long way from anywhere. Worth taking when the run already goes that way, worth declining when it does not.

A blown hose on a thirty tonne excavator.

Three ways to price the same stoppage: get it moving, do the pair that always go together, or go through the machine on the next shutdown.

  • Priced off what you actually crimped

    Hose length, fitting type and pressure rating are their own lines, so a queried figure traces back to the metre it came from.

  • Get it moving, or do it properly

    The failed hose alone beside the pair that always go together, so the contractor picks while the machine is still cold.

  • Sent from the pit, not the shed

    The quote leaves your phone before you are back on the highway, which is usually before the office has finished its incident report.

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

    After-hours loading, a longer hose run, ORFS instead of JIC, a second hose off the same block. Ticking one moves the quoted total instead of a re-type. Priced options come with Pro.

A civil contractor account, itemised and ready to send.

You are already under another machine.

When there is no slot left tonight the page still takes the job, so the contractor is talking to you instead of ringing the next van on the list.

  • The callout lands as a thread

    Machine, site, what let go and a photo of the fitting in one place, so you can judge the urgency without ringing back from under a loader.

  • Answered from the job, not your texts

    Reply from the record. What you told the site foreman at midnight is still there when the office rings about it the following week.

  • Slotted the moment one frees up

    A changeout that finishes early is a gap you fill from the same screen, and the confirmation does the telling for you.

A booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

Excavator has dumped its oil off the boom line and we are stopped in the pit. Anything at all tonight?

The operator rings, head office pays.

Cash and transfers you record by hand cost nothing on any plan. Cards come with Pro, and nothing sits in a Bookables account on the way.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and it is not quietly going behind a paywall later.

  • Cards come with Pro

    The payment request is emailed to the account contact on the file, which is almost never the person who rang you from the cab.

  • The account carries the history

    Every callout for that contractor sits on one card, so an invoice queried in November has the machine and the night it came from under it.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your mobile hydraulic hose repair business.

Scheduling

A two in the morning breakdown, a shutdown changeout at nine and a tipper on the way home all sit on one board instead of a whiteboard in the shed.

Bookings

One record per stoppage: which machine, which pit, what let go, what you crimped on site and what came off the shelf in the van.

Online booking

A contractor books the callout off your page at your genuine next slot, after hours included, without waiting on three vans to ring back.

Inbox

Photos of the failed fitting, the gate directions and every message about that excavator sit on the job rather than across three phones.

Estimates

Quote the way you crimp: hose length, fitting type, pressure rating and the after-hours loading as separate lines under one total.

Customers

Earthmoving and ag contractors come back with the next machine. Their pits, their fleet numbers and every callout you have run on one card.

Territories

Set the ground you cover and the ground you do not. A breakdown four hours west should not quietly book itself into Tuesday morning.

Team

Add each fitter and the van they run, note who is on the night phone, and give the office the job list without opening the money screens.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money lands in your own account.

Common questions.

If those are hours you work, yes. Availability is yours to set and can run right through the night, so the page offers what you will genuinely attend instead of a nine to five nobody in this trade keeps.

Take the nearest address you can get and put the gate, the pin and the landmark on the job. The site stays under the contractor, so the second breakdown at that pit already has the way in.

Yes. Each machine is its own record under the contractor with its own history, so the hose length, fitting type and pressure rating you made up last time are there when it goes down again.

It can. The payment request is emailed to the account contact you nominate, which is almost never the person standing next to the machine, and the docket left in a ute stops being the reason a job goes unpaid.

Set the areas you cover and leave the rest out. Anything outside them is turned away on the page rather than landing in your run at midnight and being sorted out by phone the next morning.

Yes. A fleet changeout booked a month ahead sits on the same board as tonight’s breakdown, quoted as its own job with a line per machine, so the planned work is not always losing to the urgent.
