OILFIX GmbH

As excavators tirelessly perform their demanding tasks on construction sites with utmost precision, the hydraulic lines of their attachments face various unforeseen challenges. Wear and tear, material fatigue or unavoidable external impact can lead to hose bursts. The result: uncontrolled leakage of hydraulic oil, oftentimes directly into the surrounding soil. Until now, addressing these leaks required lowering the excavator boom and powering down the machine, a daunting task that rarely takes less than half a minute for larger excavators. With each passing second, liters of oil would continue to flow out of the ruptured hose, resulting in substantial disruption to the environment, consequential costs for the construction site and health hazards for surrounding personnel. With OILFIX, the oil spill can now be stopped immediately from the driver's cab - at the mere touch of a button. This minimizes environmental impact, costly downtimes and health risks - sustainably.
