Complete on-site repairs in as little as 20 minutes, reducing downtime and keeping operations moving.
Global Empire Hydraulic Connections (GEHC), an Irish-based company founded in 2016 and located in Goggins Hill, Ballinhassig, Co. Cork, specialises in providing practical and reliable hydraulic solutions across a range of industries.
At Scottish Skipper Expo 2026, GEHC will present an innovative three-piece system designed to transform hydraulic hose repairs — turning what was once a time-consuming and disruptive task into a fast, efficient process that can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.
Developed with simplicity and durability in mind, the system removes the need for specialised workshops or complex machinery, making it particularly suited to on-site repairs in demanding environments such as construction, agriculture, and marine operations.
The solution consists of three key components: a durable outer shell, a precision-engineered insert, and a secure locking mechanism. Working together, these elements create a tight, leak-proof seal capable of withstanding high pressure, restoring hose integrity and ensuring dependable performance.
A key advantage of the system is its ease of use. Traditional hose repairs often require cutting, crimping, specialist tools, and skilled technicians. In contrast, this approach allows operators with minimal training to carry out effective repairs quickly and safely using a straightforward process.
The time savings are significant. Equipment downtime remains one of the most costly challenges across heavy industries, and delays in sourcing replacements can halt operations for extended periods. By enabling a reliable repair in minutes, this system helps minimise disruption and maintain productivity.
Constructed from high-grade materials resistant to pressure, temperature, and wear, the repaired hose is designed to perform at levels comparable to a new replacement, offering both an immediate and long-term solution.
