System Maintenance Made Easy: Smarter Approaches to Simplifying Maintenance

At the 2026 CONEXPO-CON/AGG trade show, Fluid Power Forum guest host Ben Brown interviews Jason Parks of Suburban Manufacturing Group about a busy show floor and notable innovations like directional drills and vac trucks. Parks highlights Suburban's booth featuring Python Protective Sleeves and Lubeminder Oil and Grease systems. He describes new Python thermal products that provide line-of-sight protection and thermal resistance to help shield hydraulic hoses in hot engine compartments and reduce operator hazards. He also introduces a new hydraulically operated grease pump that delivers about 40 times more grease per stroke than electric competitors, moving large volumes while simplifying system design. Listeners are directed to www.gosuburban.com and Suburban's LinkedIn and Facebook pages. #CONEXPO #FluidPower #HydraulicMaintenance Subscribe to the Fluid Power Forum today to never miss an episode.
