Hydraulic Cylinder Repair & Resealing

Leaking or dead cylinder on a compactor, roll-off hoist, or piece of heavy equipment? Bring it to our Ocala shop — we reseal, repair, and rebuild hydraulic cylinders and get them back under pressure.

What We Repair

Cylinders That Hold Pressure Again

Hydraulic cylinders fail the same ways — blown seals, scored rods, bent eyes, cracked mounts. We fix all of it in-shop, on the same equipment we service every day: compactors, roll-off hoists, and the waste-handling gear they drive.

  • Cylinder resealing & repacking
  • Compactor ram & packer cylinders
  • Roll-off hoist & tailgate cylinders
  • Rod, pin & clevis repair
  • Mounts & brackets welded and rebuilt
  • Bench-tested before it leaves the shop
How It Works

Drop Off, Rebuild, Back Under Load

1 · Drop Off or Send a Photo

Bring the cylinder (or the whole unit) to our Ocala shop. Not sure what’s wrong? Send a photo and we’ll tell you what we see.

2 · Tear Down & Reseal

We open it up, inspect the rod and bore, replace seals and worn parts, and repair any structural damage to eyes and mounts.

3 · Test & Return

Rebuilt, tested, and back to you — a fraction of the cost and lead time of a new cylinder.

FAQ

Common Questions

Straight answers on cylinder repair. Not sure if yours is worth fixing? Call or send a photo.

Is resealing cheaper than replacing the cylinder?
Almost always. A reseal or rebuild is typically a fraction of the price of a new cylinder — and for older compactors and hoists, a matching replacement can be hard to source at all.
What kinds of cylinders do you work on?
Mostly the ones on waste equipment — compactor rams, roll-off hoists, tailgates — but the same work applies to cylinders off other heavy equipment. Bring it by or send a photo.
Do I need to bring the whole machine?
No. If you can pull the cylinder, just bring the cylinder. If it’s part of a compactor or truck that needs more work, drop off the whole unit and we’ll handle it together.
