What We Offer in Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Services
Complete Cylinder Rebuilds
We disassemble, inspect, and rebuild cylinders with worn or damaged parts. All components are cleaned, machined, and replaced as necessary to return the cylinder to like-new condition.
Rod Repair and Replacement
Bent, scratched, or corroded rods affect cylinder movement and sealing. We straighten or manufacture new rods using high-strength materials for durability and smooth operation.
Seal Replacement and Resealing
Worn seals are a primary cause of hydraulic leaks and pressure loss. We install premium-quality seals that resist heat, pressure, and fluid breakdown.
Bore Honing and Machining
We repair scored or worn cylinder bores by honing or boring and re-sleeving them to precise dimensions. This restores proper clearances and prevents internal leaks.
Testing and Calibration
All repaired cylinders are pressure-tested to verify strength, sealing, and performance before they’re returned to service.

Benefits of Timely Hydraulic Cylinder Repair
Waiting too long for hydraulic cylinder repair can result in cascading damage throughout your system, such as pump strain, valve malfunctions, and structural wear. Early repairs prevent minor issues from becoming major failures. Regular hydraulic cylinder repair also improves your machine’s efficiency by restoring optimal stroke power and preventing fluid loss. Instead of costly replacements, most cylinders can be restored for a fraction of the price—saving you money and reducing waste. RHK’s hydraulic cylinder repair service ensures your equipment performs safely and efficiently, day after day.
