Why shops send cylinders to us

01

We machine the parts ourselves

Rods, pistons and glands are turned here, not ordered in and waited on. That's what keeps the turnaround short.

02

Repair or replace, honestly

Sometimes a rod is worth saving and sometimes a new cylinder is the cheaper answer. We'll tell you which before you commit.

03

No drawing required

Send the cylinder or the dimensions. If the original is obsolete we measure what you have and build from that.

How a cylinder job runs

STEP 01

You call or send photos

Tell us what's failed and what the cylinder came off. A photo and rough dimensions are usually enough to start.

STEP 02

We strip and assess

Once the cylinder is here we take it apart and find out what's actually worn — rod, bore, seals or all three.

STEP 03

You get a price

We tell you what it needs, what it costs, and whether repairing is the right call against building new.

STEP 04

We machine and rebuild

Replacement parts are turned here, the cylinder goes back together, and you collect it or we arrange delivery.

Rush and breakdown work

A cylinder failure usually means the equipment isn't earning. We're open seven days a week and take emergency work by arrangement — call and tell us what's happened.

Common questions

How long does a hydraulic cylinder repair take?

It depends on what's worn and whether parts need machining from scratch. Straightforward jobs turn around quickly; a cylinder needing a new rod takes longer because we make the rod. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote, not an optimistic one.

Is it cheaper to repair a cylinder or buy a new one?

Usually repair, and sometimes not. If the barrel is scored badly or the cylinder is small and common, a new one can work out cheaper. We'll tell you which way it falls before you commit — there's no value to us in quoting work that isn't worth doing.

Can you repair a cylinder if the manufacturer no longer exists?

Yes, and it's a lot of what we do. We measure the cylinder you have and machine replacement parts from that, so an obsolete unit is no harder for us than a current one.

Do I need a drawing?

No. Bring the cylinder in or send dimensions and photos. If a drawing exists it speeds things up, but most of what comes through the door arrives without one.

Where are you located?

Our shop is at 1075 Meyerside Drive, Unit 10, Mississauga. We're open seven days a week and walk-ins are welcome.
