How the Hydraulic Cylinder Exchange Program works

Using our expertise, manpower and latest technologies, we’ve streamlined our exchange program so that you can get a replacement hydraulic cylinder without waiting on repairs to be completed!

When one of your hydraulic cylinders is damaged, just send it in. Without waiting to receive your damaged one, we promptly send a working, previously repaired cylinder from our inventory as a replacement. These hydraulic cylinders have all been repaired to OEM specifications. This gets your machine back in operation quickly, with confidence the replacement will last.

When your broken cylinder arrives at our facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick, we take it apart, repair it, hone it, reassemble, test it, and add it to our stock of repaired cylinders. Our diverse inventory is always stocked with remanufactured cylinders so that we always have the parts for our customers.

This program is currently operating from our Bathurst, New Brunswick location. Strategically located to serve mining operations throughout Canada’s Eastern and Atlantic provinces. Do you wish to participate in this program to support your operations in the West? Reach out to an expert today to see if you qualify for a Western support package. We have over 100 locations across Canada and can stock replacements nearby while using our branch network to facilitate a streamlined flow to and from our Bathurst facility.

Every step of the repair process is completed in-house at one of our locations outfitted with the latest technologies, from disassembly to machining, honing, welding, and testing.
