Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders are the muscle behind your crane—and if they’re leaking, sticking or losing pressure, your entire operation is compromised. We specialise in the diagnosis, repair and replacement of hydraulic cylinders across a wide range of cranes. Our team can identify worn seals, damaged rods, corroded surfaces and misaligned fittings, and we’ll recommend solutions that restore performance fast. In addition to repairs, we also inspect hoses, valves, pumps and reservoirs to ensure your full hydraulic system is working under safe pressure and within operating specs.


  • Cylinder rebuilds, re-seals & replacements
  • Pressure testing & system optimisation
  • Fast turnaround for reduced downtime


Hydraulic performance is critical to safe lifting. If you suspect your system is underperforming, reach out to us on 07 4426 3771 for a no-obligation assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should a crane be serviced?

    Service intervals depend on the type of crane and how often it’s used. However, most cranes require servicing every 3 to 6 months, with more frequent checks for high-use or high-capacity equipment. Critical components like hydraulics, brakes, controls and lifting mechanisms must be regularly inspected to stay compliant with safety regulations and reduce the risk of breakdowns.

  • What are signs my crane needs hydraulic repair?

    Common signs include fluid leaks, slow or unresponsive lifting, pressure loss, noisy operation or visible wear on cylinder rods. These symptoms often indicate worn seals, damaged internal components or contamination within the hydraulic system. Prompt repairs prevent further damage and keep your crane safe and reliable.

  • Do crane inspections include structural checks?

    Yes. Regular crane servicing and safety inspections should include a visual and mechanical check of structural components such as booms, joints, mounts and stabilisers. For larger or older equipment, non-destructive testing may be recommended to identify fatigue, cracks or corrosion that could affect load safety and legal compliance.
