Hydraulic repair services

By Dean Staple


It is sometimes far more cost-effective to repair hydraulic components than replace them. Heavy-duty parts such as hydraulic cylinders, pumps and accumulators will start to deteriorate after many years of being in constant use. But they can be sent away to a specialist repair centre instead of buying new, which could save you thousands of pounds.

There are quite a few large mechanical parts which can be repaired, these include:

Over the course of their working lives hydraulic pumps will see a great deal of wear and tear. Due to this it is common for maintenance technicians to embark on a regular maintenance programme of repairs so that they remain in a good condition. However, every so often they will benefit from a complete strip down of the components and any defective parts replaced. A specialist hydraulic repair company can do this for you and return the 'as new' part to the customer.

Another part which can be repaired quite successfully is a hydraulic cylinder. It is often far more cost effective to refurbish a hydraulic cylinder than replace it with a new cylinder. When refurbished the hydraulic cylinder will be sent back in a condition resembling that of a new cylinder,

An accumulator can be damaged during the course of its life. But instead of replacing it with a new accumulator a repair to the original vessel can often be achieved. An accumulator repair company can strip the accumulator down and give a comprehensive assessment of the cost to repair the accumulator. They will then be able to source all parts before returning it to the customer.

Hydraulic repair specialists will always provide their clients with a fully itemised quotation before they commence any work, so the company will know the full extent of the costs.

With many companies now looking to make considerable savings in any way possible, it makes sense for them to repair components for a fraction of the price it would otherwise cost them to replace them.
