Hydraulic rams (cylinders) do the heavy lifting on almost every machine we see. When one starts leaking or losing strength, the problem usually gets worse quickly. We diagnose the fault and repair the ram so the machine is back to full working order.
Hydraulic ram refurbishment
Ram refurbishment is one of the core parts of our business. A worn or damaged ram doesn't always mean buying a new one: refurbishing your existing ram is often a quicker and more cost-effective way to get the machine back to full working order. We collect the ram from you and deliver it back once it's done.

- Strip down and inspectionThe ram is dismantled and the rod, barrel, piston and seals are inspected to find exactly what's worn or damaged.
- Reseal and replace worn partsNew seals are fitted, and worn or damaged components are replaced.
- Reassemble and testThe ram is rebuilt and tested before it goes back on the machine.
- DeliveryWe deliver the refurbished ram back to you, ready to refit.
