Custom Hydraulic Cylinder Manufacturing

Iron Ax manufactures custom and replacement hydraulic cylinders for heavy equipment, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, forestry equipment, recycling machinery, municipal equipment, waste equipment, and custom applications.

When an original cylinder is obsolete, unavailable, damaged beyond practical repair, or does not meet the requirements of the application, our in-house machine shop and fabrication capabilities allow us to manufacture a replacement or purpose-built hydraulic cylinder.

For recycling and industrial compaction equipment, Iron Ax also provides Baler Hydraulic Cylinder Repair and can evaluate large, obsolete, damaged, or unavailable baler cylinders for repair or replacement manufacturing.

For municipal, waste-hauling, and recycling equipment, Iron Ax also provides Garbage Truck Hydraulic Cylinder Repair and can evaluate obsolete or unavailable refuse-equipment cylinders for repair or replacement manufacturing.

For waste, recycling, and container-handling equipment, Iron Ax also provides Roll-Off Truck Hydraulic Cylinder Repair and can evaluate obsolete or unavailable hoist and hooklift cylinders for repair or replacement manufacturing.

For boom, telescope, outrigger, stabilizer, and other lifting-equipment applications, learn more about our Crane Hydraulic Cylinder Repair capabilities.

For telescoping-boom lifting equipment, Iron Ax also provides Telehandler Hydraulic Cylinder Repair and can evaluate obsolete or unavailable cylinders for repair or replacement manufacturing.

When the unavailable part involves other equipment components in addition to the hydraulic cylinder, Iron Ax can also evaluate obsolete and hard-to-find heavy equipment parts for repair or replacement manufacturing.

When an original cylinder drawing is unavailable, Iron Ax can evaluate the existing cylinder, mounting dimensions, stroke, components, and machine application through heavy equipment component reverse engineering .

Replacement Hydraulic Cylinders

OEM replacement cylinders can be expensive, backordered, discontinued, or unavailable. Iron Ax can inspect an existing cylinder and determine whether it should be rebuilt or used as the basis for manufacturing a replacement.

A complete cylinder, damaged cylinder, drawing, sample component, measurements, part number, or equipment information can help us evaluate the project. We will discuss the application and available information before determining the best manufacturing approach.

Hydraulic Cylinder Components Manufactured In-House

Our full-service machine shop can manufacture chrome rods, cylinder barrels, glands, pistons, clevises, rod eyes, mounts, pins, bushings, and other cylinder components. In-house machining and fabrication give Iron Ax greater control over fit, repair decisions, component availability, and final quality.

Custom Cylinders for Demanding Applications

Iron Ax has decades of experience manufacturing hydraulic cylinders for its own heavy-duty recycling equipment as well as for customer machinery. That manufacturing background helps us understand real-world loading, mounting, maintenance, serviceability, and downtime considerations.

Iron Ax has the professional equipment, experienced technicians, and in-house manufacturing capabilities required to repair and manufacture hydraulic cylinders of virtually all sizes. Our dedicated hydraulic cylinder service center includes a 26-foot repair bench, specialized tooling, and equipment capable of providing up to 40,000 lb-ft of torque. Combined with our full-service machine shop, we manufacture hydraulic cylinder glands, pistons, chrome rods, and cylinder barrels in-house, allowing us to complete everything from routine repairs to complex rebuilds and custom hydraulic cylinder manufacturing. When required, we can also accommodate larger cylinders using specialized handling and setup procedures.

Repair or Manufacture New?

A damaged cylinder may still be a good candidate for repair. In other cases, extensive rod, barrel, gland, piston, mounting, or structural damage can make a newly manufactured cylinder the more practical choice. Iron Ax can inspect the cylinder and explain the available options.
