KIEV, Ukraine, 5. May 2021—Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has officially certified AD Diesel as a Parker Hose Assembly Manufacturer for thermoplastic hose assemblies up to 4000 bar in Ukraine, located in Kiev. AD Diesel is the first and only Parker distributor in Ukraine that offers hose crimping at such a high-pressure range. AD Diesel started its cooperation with Parker in 2016 in the field of hydraulic equipment and spare parts.

This certification allows company to manufacture, crimp and test hose assemblies of ultra-high-pressure thermoplastic hoses. That brings the value to the customers that can get assembly of hydraulic hoses for immediate delivery with the use of Parker components. These are assembled according to the customer needs, ensuring top quality and durability of the product. The delivery time of UHP hoses is also significantly reduced and competitiveness increased.

The certificate obtained by AD Diesel is the only authorization to manufacture this type of hoses. Thus, the hose operating pressure can reach up to 4000 bar; each test performed at the test stand enables the issue of an authorization for any hose ordered by the customer. Ultra-high-pressure hoses manufactured this way can be used; for example, in hydraulic tools, waterjet cutters for steel, plastics, ceramics or concrete, cleaning in corrosion protection processes, cleaning of airport runways, as well as in the power generation and heating industry or during tests of diesel engines in injector testing systems.

In order to be certified, a number of requirements relating to the high-pressure hose production process had to be met. AD Diesel had to have a certified test stand for testing high-pressure hoses and accessories for pre-assembly, marking, cleaning and securing hoses, as well as a special machine for crimping hoses and storing the product.

"In 2019, we purchased equipment for testing ultra-high-pressure hoses up to 4000 bar, we underwent training and received an international certificate. At the same time, we have increased the availability of goods in the warehouse in this regard." said Andrei Openko, director of AD Diesel. Currently there are already two ParkerStores in the cities of the Dnieper and Kiev. Two more are in the process of being completed in Odessa and Lviv.

The value that AD Diesel brings to its customers lies mainly in a special, individual approach to each of the clients, the high quality of the delivered original products, the technical support of the authorized service network and the number of products in stock. AD Diesel's existing warehouse is the largest in Ukraine and has more than 10,000 commodity items, which are constantly being supplemented with new spare parts and equipment required on the market.

AD Diesel is a Parker distributor focused on hydraulic technology and its services for customers include mainly sales of spare parts and components, production and sale of hose assemblies, sales of equipment and special tools for repairs of hydraulic systems of agricultural and special equipment of foreign and domestic production, diagnostics of industrial hydraulics and mobile equipment on site, assembly and inspection of hoses, modernization of production equipment with installation the latest control systems and the provision of engineering services.
