Our turnaround time on cylinder repairs depends very much upon the complexity of the repair. However, we understand the impact of lost time on a company’s finances, so will work together with you to ensure as little downtime as possible.  At Apex we are well staffed with qualified and experienced professionals who work quickly and efficiently. Our stores already have a huge array of seals and small parts. We have excellent relationships with our suppliers, so any products that we don’t have in stock can generally be sourced within 24 hours, ensuring a swifter repair process.

Yes, that won’t be a problem for Apex. We have a workshop that manufactures cylinders from scratch and so we can manufacture new parts where the originals are now obsolete. In many cases our team of designers will be able to improve on the original standards and design.

This is a common problem, and the short answer is; “yes”! Many hydraulic systems are fit for purpose when first purchased, but as a business grows, the fabrication may be used more and more, with the hydraulic system being worked harder than originally intended. However, with design tweaks from our team of specially qualified hydraulic cylinder design engineers, a cylinder can be made more robust in order for it to be used at a greater capacity.

As hydraulic cylinders are such large and complex pieces of equipment, in most cases repair will be far more economical financially than replacing with a new cylinder. However, there are exceptions. This will depend on several factors and we are happy to assess the costings for FREE in order to be able to give you a quote and help you to make a decision about whether repair or replacement is the most cost effective way forward for you. The experts in our strip and assessment department will dismantle your hydraulic cylinder, assess the extent of any damage and which parts need replacing or repairing before giving you a full quote for the repairs.

At Apex, we have the capability to repair all sizes of hydraulic cylinders; from small cylinders found in factory machinery, to huge cylinders used for steel manufacturing or the off-shore industry. We specialise in bespoke repairs and are happy to repair any cylinder that our customers present us with.

We often work with companies based all around the world; from as far as Australia and almost anywhere in between!

Yes, we are very familiar with working with third party insurers and should be able to provide any relevant certification that is required. We are happy to have visits from inspection agencies alongside our own robust inspection process if desired.

Unclean oil can be one of the principle causes of hydraulic cylinder breakdown and effective oil filtration can massively reduce breakdowns. Dirty oil can cause abrasions to the seals and other soft parts, which in turn can cause system failure and break down. We recommend a filtration unit that can be attached to working hydraulic systems, cleaning your oil and eradicating cylinder breakdowns caused by dirty oil. We offer a free test of our filtration units, in order for you to see the benefits for yourself.
