Motion’s Mobile Fluid Power Solutions Workshop Units are poised to transform the way industries manage downtime, offering a complete on-site solution that boosts productivity and prioritises safety.

For industries reliant on hydraulic systems, downtime caused by hose failures can lead to costly interruptions. Recognising this challenge, Motion is introducing its Mobile Workshop Units – an innovation that will empower customers with on-site hose assembly capabilities.

A tailored solution for reducing downtime

“The idea is simple but powerful,” explains Motion’s Paul Cavicchiolo. “By bringing the equipment and inventory closer to our customers, we reduce their reliance on external services and minimise costly delays. It’s about giving them control.”

Fully equipped with crimper, cut-off saw, air lines, and durable storage solutions, each mobile workshop is custom-built to match specific industry and site requirements. Stock profiles are carefully curated in consultation with customers, ensuring the right parts are always on hand. Larger workshops can even include testing equipment, adapting to the most demanding environments.

Safety and efficiency at the forefront

According to Motion’s Product Manager - Hydraulic Hose & Connectors, Nathan Garland, this offering sets the company apart from its competitors. “We’ve gone beyond a basic service van. Our workshops are easily transportable, air-conditioned, and optimised for safety and efficiency. Features like personal access doors, ergonomic layouts, and extraction fans for rubber cutting fumes underline our commitment to operational safety,” he says.

The workshops are particularly suited to remote locations where access to repair services is limited. “This solution eliminates the wait times associated with traditional breakdown services. Instead, customers can fabricate their own hose assemblies on-site, cutting downtime and reducing the high costs of emergency callouts,” adds Paul.

A complete partnership approach

Beyond equipment, Motion provides extensive training to ensure customers can safely and effectively use the workshops. “We see this as a partnership,” Nathan notes. “We’re not just providing equipment – we’re offering expertise, reliability, and support tailored to each client’s operations.”

For customers seeking a flexible solution, Motion offers rental and rent-to-buy options, as well having outright purchase options available.
