Looking for a hose supplier near me? The counter you want will cut and crimp a replacement line the same day. We are built for that kind of work, and we run counters in Concord and Barrie. We stock hydraulic hose, pneumatic hose and tubing, specialty hose, fittings and quick-connect couplings.
Before you hand a failed line to anyone, run seven checks on the supplier. They should cover stock, fitting ends, crimping, custom sizing, mobile repair, shipping and safety.
What should a hose supplier near me do on the spot?
A supplier worth using should build the finished assembly for you. A counter that only sells boxed parts will send you somewhere else to have the line made up. We build and supply hose assemblies for hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial applications, so the whole job happens in one building. Our Concord facility is a retail storefront and a fully equipped service centre, and we build, repair and customize hydraulic systems, pressure washing units and pneumatic controls under one roof.
Stock depth is what makes same-day work possible. We are Gates’ largest independent distributor of industrial and hydraulic hoses in Canada. We are also Ontario’s only independent CAT hose supplier outside Toromont. Gates products give us precision fittings and fluid power components to build with.

Seven checks to run when you search for a hose supplier near me
Run these seven checks before the next breakdown. Each one is a single question at the counter or on the phone. They work whether you searched for a hose supplier near me or someone passed you a phone number.
- Stock depth. Ask which hose families sit on the shelf, and in which sizes.
- Fitting ends. Ask whether they carry steel, brass and stainless steel fittings and adaptors, plus quick-connect couplings.
- Crimping in-house. Ask whether the assembly is crimped at their own counter the same day.
- Custom sizing. Ask whether they can build the length and configuration your machine needs.
- Mobile repair. Ask whether someone can come to the machine when it cannot be moved.
- Shipping. Ask what happens when the site sits a long way from the counter.
- Safety advice. Ask what they tell you about trapped pressure before you crack a fitting.
Here is how we answer the ones about our own shop. We fabricate assemblies the same day. We offer mobile and in-shop repairs, so a damaged hose can be fixed on site or at our facility. Custom assemblies are built to exact specifications. We also ship from stocked inventory.
One habit saves everybody time. Bring the failed line with you, along with the make and model of the machine it came off. Custom lengths and configurations are routine work for us.
Which hose do you actually need?
Start with what the line carries and the pressure it sees. Bring that information to the counter, and we will walk you through the options. The table covers the families we keep in stock and what we do with each one.
| What we stock | What it is | What we do with it |
|---|
| Hydraulic hose | Standard and abrasion-resistant | Cut to length and crimped, same day |
| Pneumatic hose and tubing | Flexible, kink-resistant options | Custom lengths and configurations |
| Specialty hose | High-pressure and chemical-resistant | Built to exact specifications |
| Fittings, adaptors and quick-connect couplings | Steel, brass and stainless steel | Fitted for rapid equipment changeovers |
Hydraulic hose comes in standard and abrasion-resistant covers, and we cut and crimp it the same day. Pneumatic hose and tubing are flexible and kink-resistant, in custom lengths and configurations. Specialty hose covers high-pressure and chemical-resistant duty, built to exact specifications. Fittings and adaptors come in steel, brass and stainless steel, and quick-connect couplings suit rapid equipment changeovers.
We also stock metric and imperial compression fittings, plus high-pressure steel fittings for heavy-duty work. Our guide to fittings and adaptors walks through the shapes. If the line is hydraulic, our hydraulic hose counter covers it.
The same four families cover most machines. We supply construction and heavy equipment fleets, with hose running on excavators, loaders, lifts and backhoes. We supply automotive and manufacturing plants for assembly lines, robotics and lubrication systems. In mining and aggregates we cover crushers, conveyors and hydraulic systems. We serve equipment rental and leasing companies for fleet maintenance and turnaround.
Why a failed hose is a safety problem
A leaking hydraulic line can injure the person hunting for the leak. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety warns that fluid escaping through pinhole leaks is difficult to see, and that its high pressure can puncture skin. The safe way to find one is to pass a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected area, never a hand. A hydraulic fluid puncture needs a doctor immediately.
Trapped pressure is the second risk. Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development publishes a hazard alert on quick-connect hydraulic couplings. A worker was fatally injured when one became a high-velocity projectile, with pressure in the order of 10,000 psi held behind an internal check valve. Ontario Regulation 851, section 78, requires a positive way to confirm that all pressure is released, and gauges or bleed ports are the examples the alert gives.
Do this
- Pass a piece of cardboard or wood over a suspected leak.
- Assume there may be pressure behind every fitting.
- Confirm all pressure is released before you remove a fitting.
- Get a doctor immediately after any hydraulic fluid puncture.
Avoid this
- Searching for a leak with your hands.
- Standing in the line of a fitting you are removing.
- Reading dry couplings as proof the connection is tight.
- Treating a fluid puncture as a small injury.
Both sources point the same way. A dry coupling proves nothing about trapped pressure, and a pinhole leak is at its most dangerous when somebody reaches for it.

Frequently asked questions
Who supplies industrial hose near me?
We do, from Concord and Barrie. We stock hydraulic and pneumatic hose, specialty hose, fittings and quick-connect couplings. Assemblies are fabricated the same day, and our mobile and in-shop repairs fix damaged hose on site or at our facility.
How do I choose a hose supplier near me?
Run the seven checks above. Of the seven, consider weighting stock availability, crimping in-house and same-day turnaround most heavily, because together they decide how long the machine sits. One option is to phone two suppliers and ask each the same three questions. Search hose supplier near me, and you will get several names. The one that clears all seven is the one to keep on file.
What is the difference between a hose supplier and a hose manufacturer?
A manufacturer makes the bulk hose. A supplier keeps that hose in stock, cuts it, fits the ends and crimps the assembly for your machine. We do the second job, with Gates products behind the fittings.
Can a hose be repaired on site?
Yes. We offer mobile and in-shop repairs, so a damaged hose can be fixed at your machine or at our facility.
Bring the failed line to Concord or Barrie, and we will build the replacement. Call (905) 760-1711 in Concord or (249) 315-4673 in Barrie, or look through our hoses and fittings first. When you search for a hose supplier near me, you want a counter that gets you back to work the same day. That is the job we are built around.
