Minimising Downtime – Hydraulic Cylinder Repairs With J C Fluid Power
Hydraulic systems are at the heart of modern industry, powering essential machinery across sectors including plant hire, manufacturing, marine, and automotive operations. When hydraulic cylinders fail, the impact can be immediate — costly downtime, reduced productivity, and potential safety risks.
At J C Fluid Power, we understand how critical fast, reliable hydraulic repairs are to keeping your business moving.
## Why Hydraulic Cylinder Maintenance Matters
Hydraulic cylinders operate under extreme pressure and demanding conditions. Over time, wear and tear can lead to issues such as:
– Seal failure and fluid leaks
– Scored or damaged rods
– Corrosion and contamination
– Loss of pressure and performance
If left unresolved, these problems can escalate, leading to full system failure and expensive replacements.
## Repair vs Replacement: A Cost-Effective Solution
In many cases, professional repair and refurbishment offer a far more economical alternative to purchasing new cylinders. Our fully equipped repair and testing facilities enable us to restore components to optimal working condition — often extending service life significantly while reducing costs.
Our repair services include:
– Full strip-down and inspection
– Seal replacement
– Rod re-chroming and polishing
– Tube honing or replacement
– Pressure testing and certification
