Hydraulic Cylinder Repairs in Germiston & Johannesburg
Leaking, drifting or damaged hydraulic cylinders repaired in our Wadeville, Germiston workshop — stripped, inspected, honed, resealed, rebuilt and pressure tested before they go back to work.
A failing cylinder costs you more than the cylinder: it stops the machine it drives. Our workshop at 7 Crocker Road, Wadeville handles hydraulic cylinder repairs for mining equipment, earthmoving machines, presses, cranes, tippers and production-line actuators across Germiston, Johannesburg and the rest of Gauteng.
Every cylinder is fully stripped and measured. We assess the barrel, rod, gland, piston and seals, then recommend repair or replacement based on what we find — not guesswork. Where parts are worn beyond tolerance we manufacture replacements, including new chrome rods, glands and pistons.
Need a cylinder that doesn't exist off the shelf? We also design and manufacture new hydraulic cylinders to your dimensions and duty.

Is it worth repairing a hydraulic cylinder or should I replace it?
Most cylinders can be repaired for less than the cost of a new unit by resealing, honing the barrel or replacing the rod. We strip and measure the cylinder first and advise honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Can you manufacture a new chrome rod for my cylinder?
Yes. When a rod is bent, pitted or scored we manufacture a replacement chrome rod to the original dimensions, along with glands and pistons where needed.

Yes. For breakdowns call our breakdown line on 064 043 6482 and we'll prioritise getting your equipment running again.
