Hydraulic failures can spark a cascade of costly consequences. Taking an integrated approach to hydraulics maintenance and repairs is the answer.
In our industry, when machinery stops, projects are delayed, costs blow out and profits dry up faster than spilled hydraulic fluid.
Smart Kiwi company and innovator BOA Hydraulics has created an integrated solution designed to put control back in operators’ hands.
With BOA, there’s no more waiting for hydraulic repairers or scheduling maintenance around their availability.
Why? Because BOA’s integrated solution lets anyone running hydraulics reduce failures through predictive maintenance, then do fast, onsite repairs when something gives.
You may have seen one of the 300 or so mobile maintenance and repair “BOApods” deployed across Australia.
Their distinct black and green BOA livery makes them hard to miss, but more on the pods in a minute.
The high cost of hydraulic failures
The BOA team understands that earthmoving operators face unique challenges directly impacting their bottom line:
- Remote worksites with limited access to service providers
- Critical timelines with financial penalties for delays
- Expensive machinery sitting idle during repairs
- Unpredictable service costs eating into margins
These challenges aren’t just inconvenient – they’re profit killers.
The traditional hydraulic repair model forces earthmoving companies into a reactive position, surrendering control and accepting unnecessary costs.
BOA’s integrated approach
BOA Hydraulics is changing the game with a comprehensive system built for heavy earthmoving operations.
This isn’t just a suite of products – it’s a complete operational shift empowering your team to handle hydraulic maintenance on your terms. Let’s take a look at BOA’s core offering.
BOApod: Take the workshop to the worksite
The BOApod is the cornerstone of BOA’s integrated efficiency philosophy.
Tow this all-terrain mobile hydraulic repair unit to wherever your equipment operates.
No more dragging machines back to base or waiting for technicians to arrive.
Users say the BOApod delivers an immediate ROI through dramatically reduced downtime – cutting a typical three-hour repair window down to just 30-45 minutes.
BOAhub: your digital control centre
The BOAhub app transforms how earthmoving companies manage hydraulic maintenance.
This fully mobile app does more than just manage repair jobs and tag every hose.
BOAhub also enables:
- Digital pre-start checks to prioritise maintenance needs
- Instant job logging with urgency classification
- Automatic parts reordering through barcode scanning
- Comprehensive service history tracking against specific assets
- Maximise uptime, minimise costs
- The earthmoving industry operates on tight margins where efficient equipment utilisation directly impacts profitability.
BOA’s Australasian customers find BOA’s “Take Control” approach delivers three critical advantages:
- Swift response to hydraulic failures
When hydraulic systems fail, BOA’s solution enables immediate action. Your team can diagnose, repair, and get equipment (and operators) back on the job without relying on external providers. This capability transforms what was once a day-long ordeal into a minor interruption.
- Preventative maintenance on your terms
The BOAhub system enables proactive maintenance planning around your operational schedule – not someone else’s. Identify warning signs early, schedule non-emergency repairs during normal downtime, and prevent catastrophic failures before they occur.
- Total cost control
The traditional model has always meant unpredictable expenses with every hydraulic failure. BOA delivers financial predictability through:
- Elimination of emergency service premiums
- Reduced parts costs through efficient inventory management
- Lower labour expenses with streamlined repair processes
- Minimised production losses from equipment downtime
Quality without compromise
Having served the Australasian market for many years, BOA understands that earthmoving equipment demands maximum performance under extreme conditions.
Its ISO 9001:2015 certification guarantees adherence to strict quality standards across all system components.
Plus, the company’s exclusive distribution partnership with Yokohama ensures access to premium hydraulic hoses and fittings that maintain OEM compliance.
As readers know, this is critical for warranty protection and equipment longevity.
Customised implementation for your operation
BOA recognises that every earthmoving operation has unique requirements.
Its personalised workshop setup ensures your hydraulic management system aligns with your specific equipment profile and operational needs.
This customisation extends to comprehensive hydraulic training for your team, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to maximise the system’s capabilities.
The result: total control and self-sufficiency in hydraulic management.

The earthmoving industry demands solutions that deliver under harsh conditions.
BOA Hydraulics provides more than equipment, it delivers operational transformation.
