New hydraulic and pneumatic services in Bristol

Parker Hannifin has opened a new ParkerStore in Bristol, in conjunction with Bristol Hose and Industrial Supplies Company, supplier of fluid engineering services and equipment

Parker Hannifin, the world's largest manufacturer of motion and control technologies, has opened a new ParkerStore in Bristol, in conjunction with Bristol Hose and Industrial Supplies Company, supplier of fluid engineering services and equipment.

The store will officially open on Monday 5th February, and combines the extensive Parker product range with the high level of support that customers have come to expect from the experienced Bristol Hose engineers, and also incorporates a 24/7 Hose Doctor service.

The ParkerStore concept has evolved from a hose and fittings trade counter to a globally branded network of retail centres selling Parker motion and control products.

The stores are operated by approved distributors and focus on providing products and services to local users of hydraulic and pneumatic equipment.

Bristol Hose is a family business, run by father and son team, Roy and Paul Childs, with over 60 years of combined experience in the hydraulic and pneumatic industry.

The company has been established for 14 years, supplying the manufacturing and construction industries, as well as local authorities, across Bristol.

It is accredited with the AS 9100 Quality Management System which also incorporates EN ISO 9001:2000, testament of the company commitment to quality.

Roy Childs, Managing Director of Bristol Hose, said of the opening, "This is an exciting new chapter in our company history.

Through our ParkerStore we are now able to provide our customers with a comprehensive range of Parker products, including filtration equipment, FRLs, tubing, hydraulic hose and fittings, for most applications, as well as continuing to offer the highest standard of technical support".

The new ParkerStore operates a Hose Doctor service from four vans, servicing Bristol and the surrounding areas.

Hose Doctor is an emergency replacement service for hydraulic hoses and fittings and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help engineers minimise plant or equipment downtime, aiming to reach each customer's site within one hour of accepting a job.

In addition, Hose Doctor also offers a routine preventative maintenance service, to help customers maximise their performance.

The vehicles are stocked with an extensive range of Parker hoses, hose fittings, quick couplers, and adaptors to cover all eventualities.

The Parker range of hoses and accessories offers cost effective replacements for most original equipment manufacturer parts.
