A leaking or weak cylinder doesn’t have to be replaced. In most cases Hydraulic Squad can strip, repair and reseal it for a fraction of the cost of a new unit, and get your machine back to work sooner than waiting for an imported part.
Every cylinder that leaves our Bronkhorstspruit workshop is pressure tested, so you know it will hold before it goes back on the machine.
