Cylinder Repair

Sometimes referred to as a hydraulic ram, a repair to this expensive piece of equipment is significantly more cost effective than replacing with new. In most cases the repaired cylinder will be indistinguishable from a brand new model.

Our ability to assess the condition and life span of your cylinder means that, over time, wear can be tracked. This allows us to determine the point at which maintenance should be carried out.

We then provide you with an efficient maintenance schedule which reduces downtime by identifying problems before they occur.

So in summary, maintenance is carried out at the most opportune moment to ensure performance and reliability is maintained and unnecessary maintenance, and potentially, down-time, drastically reduced.

All our cylinder repairs pass through six specialised departments.

Our Strip and Assessment department

So that your plant break downs can be dealt with quickly and efficiently

Design Department

Our state of the art design department is available to improve and enhance the performance of your cylinders and we will always seek to improve your machinery when it arrives.

We always carry a large stock of cylinders seals and other soft parts, which means we can offer you a prompt service. And, if we don’t carry the seals, our stores can usually purchase them for delivery within 24 hours.

Our machine shop

This is where we manufacture your cylinder component.

Our Fitting Shop

Our Fitting Shop is clean and well equipped so you can be assured your rams are assembled with the upmost expertise.

Our Inspection Dept

Once the rams have been assembled they are given a final inspection and tested according to our ISO 9001 Quality System.

Our Spray shop

The final stage of any high quality cylinder repair is the paint spray which protects the cylinder from future corrosion.

We paint according to your exact specification, including the application of off shore and subsea paints.

Proud of our Quality Status

Our ISO 9001:2008 certification means we can focus on providing our customers with unbeatable technical expertise.

Our cylinders are market leading and have proven time and time again to surpass our competitors’ products.

Apex Hydraulics expertise put to the test

Every cylinder is rigorously tested to each customer’s individual requirements. And if you would like to witness our testing procedures, you are welcome to come along, either with a verification body or simply to see our technical team in action.

Our capability stretches to testing on all fluids, including mineral oil, water, water glycol, synthetic fire resistant oils and rust inhibiting fluids

Certification available with each task completed

Full ‘test and certificates of conformity’ are available should you need them.

We can also manufacture cylinders with third party approval certificates such as;

DNV (Det Norske Veritas)
ABS (American Bureau of Shipping)
Lloyds Register
ISO 9001:2008

We can repair all your hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders from a small workshop ram, such as the Enerpac range, to enormous cylinders employed in steel foundries.

Some cylinders we see are now obsolete and therefore it can be difficult to purchase spares.

However, with our qualified design team and machine workshop, we can engineer the parts required for your job.
