Hino boost for City Hydraulics

Sydney's City Hydraulics is enhancing its service offering with Hino's 300 Series light-duty truck

Sydney-based mobile hydraulic hose service company City Hydraulics recently added a Hino 300 Series 616 truck to its fleet – its sixth Hino since the company purchased its first in 2004.

City Hydraulics owner and operator Grant Wheatley praised the newcomer as a versatile metropolitan workhorse.

"The Hino trucks have been exceptional in helping us get our workshop out to wherever our customers happen to be," Mr Wheatley said.

"The compact size and agile handling gives us great accessibility to inner-city customers, while still retaining the robust operation that is expected of a truck."

Originally operating with Toyota's HiAce, the company quickly outgrew the limited capacity of a van.

The newly delivered Hino 300 Series features a custom Pantech mobile workshop built by Pacific Bodyworks, including an industry-leading two-inch Swage press tool that allows larger hydraulics units to be fabricated on site.

"The majority of our customer base is in the construction and forklift industries, but recently we were contracted by the Royal Australian Navy to carry out hydraulic servicing to a ship.

"The flexibility that the mobile workshop allows is a crucial and unique characteristic of our business," Mr Wheatley said.
