Hydraulic cylinders

We manufacture a variety of hydraulic cylinders at our site in Birmingham. We can test, re-seal, and adapt cylinders to suit your needs. Whether you have a leaking ram and need us to examine it to see what’s causing the leak, or if you need to reduce the stroke length of an existing cylinder we are happy to help. We have state of the art CNC machines on site so If your cylinder has a damaged part be it the piston, gland nut, chrome or tube; We can manufacture it here from the old part and re-assemble and test the ram for you.

We only replace what is absolutely necessary and we refurbish what we can to extend the life of your vehicle whilst keeping the costs down.

Welding

Welding is fundamental to engineering and manufacturing. Without the ability to make strong and durable connections between materials it would be impossible to produce the many different items we all rely on in our everyday lives – from the very large (buildings, pipelines, trains and bridges) to the very small (medical implants and electronic devices).
