Queensland-based coupling cover manufacturer PT Blueboys has launched its new half inch and three-quarter inch hydraulic coupling covers and plugs, adding to their existing portfolio of air and 1-inch hydraulic covers.
Director Darren Dillon says the new products are compatible with almost every truck coupling in the market, continuing their efforts to help truck drivers and owners significantly reduce downtime and coupling turnover.
“We started with air and the 1-inch hydraulic as they were the highest in demand, with these new sizes, you will be able to put them on almost all your fittings,” he said.
“The new sleeves are specifically designed to fit flat face couplings, ISO poppet couplings, 5675-4000 series, 7241-1 series A and many more.”
The sleeves are available to purchase online and through over 99 distributors across Australia.
The coupling covers are made of high-grade silicone to ensure flexibility and durability, and are sold with matching plugs to ensure full coverage on the fittings while disconnected.
Darren added that PT Blueboys have been working on perfecting the design and running tests for quite some time.
“We had the design ready some time ago, but as with all new products in the market, you have to test them for months to ensure that when you launch them, they work as expected,” he said.
The half inch and three-quarter inch coupling covers will also fit a wide range of couplings on other types of machinery such as earthmoving equipment, skid-steers and tractors.
“We know a lot of companies that operate a range of machinery besides trucks. This will be a game-changer for them,” Darren said.
For companies looking to maximise their savings, these coupling covers offer significant benefits. They not only reduce costs but also alleviate common frustrations faced by machinery owners and operators.
PT Blueboys provides market leading coupling covers for air hose and hydraulic connectors in the transportation, construction, agriculture and mining industry.
It is a family-owned business founded in 2017 by Goondiwindi locals Darren and Anna Dillon. All products are designed and manufactured in Australia.
