We recently completed a side shift cylinder rebuild for a valued customer in TX, a job that turned a leaking, underperforming component into a smooth, reliable part of their heavy equipment once again.
The Problem: Hydraulic Leak and Loss of Power
Our client reached out after noticing hydraulic fluid pooling beneath their forklift and experiencing decreased side shift control. The issue? A worn-out side shift cylinder that was leaking fluid, reducing pressure, and compromising safety and efficiency. Left untreated, such problems can quickly escalate, leading to equipment failure or costly downtime.
The Process: Disassembly, Diagnosis, and Rebuild
Our technicians began by removing the faulty cylinder and carefully inspecting it. We found worn seals, internal corrosion, and minor scoring along the bore, all contributing to the leak and poor performance.
With the diagnosis complete, we disassembled the unit, cleaned and honed the internal surfaces, and replaced all seals, O-rings, and bushings with high-quality parts. Once reassembled, the cylinder underwent a series of pressure tests to confirm leak-free performance and smooth operation.
The Result: Reliable Performance Restored
After the rebuild, the equipment was back on the job with improved hydraulic response and no signs of leakage. Our client was able to return to full operation with confidence, knowing their equipment was functioning safely and efficiently.
