What UK Sales Partner Status for DICSA Actually Means for HOS Customers

Hydraulic & Offshore Supplies (HOS) is a UK Sales Partner for DICSA, giving UK customers access to DICSA hydraulic products backed by HOS’s technical expertise, stock availability and fluid power experience.

But what does that partnership actually mean when you’re sourcing hydraulic hose, fittings and components?

Who Is DICSA?

DICSA is a manufacturer of stainless-steel hydraulic fittings and a global distributor of hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial components.

Headquartered in Zaragoza, Spain, the company has an international network covering markets including Europe, the USA, Latin America and Asia. Its range includes hydraulic hoses, fittings, adaptors, quick-release couplings and other fluid-transfer components.

DICSA also manufactures the TrAle hydraulic hose range.

HOS’s position as a UK Sales Partner provides a route for UK businesses to source these products from a UK-based hydraulic specialist.

Access to DICSA Products in the UK

One of the main advantages for customers is straightforward access to the DICSA range.

HOS supplies DICSA and TrAle products including hydraulic hoses and hydraulic fittings, while DICSA catalogues covering hydraulic and pneumatic components, connectors and stainless-steel fittings are also available through the HOS website.

Rather than simply sourcing an individual component, customers can discuss their wider hydraulic requirements with a team that understands how the products need to work within the complete system.

TrAle Hydraulic Hose

The partnership also gives HOS customers access to DICSA’s TrAle hydraulic hose range.

TrAle hoses are available through the HOS trade counter in Sunderland and are also carried by HOS’s on-site engineers alongside DICSA fittings and components.

This means the partnership supports both planned hydraulic requirements and work being carried out in the field.

Technical Support Matters Too

Product availability is only part of hydraulic component selection.

When choosing hydraulic hose and fittings, factors such as the following need to be considered:

• Maximum working pressure
• Hose size
• Fluid compatibility
• Operating temperature
• Bend radius
• Environmental conditions
• Connection type
• Movement and vibration

Selecting an unsuitable hose can contribute to leaks, pressure loss, premature failure and potentially serious safety risks.

HOS combines access to DICSA products with a technical team experienced in hydraulic and fluid power applications.

Quality and Traceability

Quality and documentation can also be important when sourcing hydraulic components for demanding industrial, offshore and marine applications.

DICSA’s published credentials include ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, together with DNV approval covering specified flexible hoses and pipe couplings. HOS itself operates a UKAS-accredited ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and holds BFPA approval relating to hose assemblies.

HOS also provides full traceability for its products, supporting customers where documentation and future component identification are important.

More Than a DICSA Distributor

For HOS customers, UK Sales Partner status ultimately means access to DICSA products combined with local hydraulic knowledge and support.

HOS has decades of fluid power experience and provides hydraulic products alongside hose assembly, installation, repairs, asset management and emergency call-out services.

That means customers can source components as part of a wider hydraulic solution rather than treating each requirement in isolation.
