Mobile hydraulic ram and cylinder repair
Leaking, drifting or bent cylinders, rams, pumps, valves and hoses diagnosed and repaired where the machine is parked.
The work
What we fix, and how.
When a hydraulic cylinder starts weeping oil or a boom drifts down under load, the machine is done for the day and so is the crew that runs it. Hauling it to a shop adds a tow bill and usually a week in a queue. ADE brings hydraulic repair to the yard or the job site instead. We trace the fault through the whole circuit before we touch a seal, because a blown cylinder seal is often the symptom of a relief valve, a pump or contaminated oil further upstream. Then we repair what failed: rams and cylinders, hoses and fittings, control valves and solenoids, pumps and the lines between them. We work on lift cylinders, outrigger and stabilizer cylinders, boom and jib cylinders, tow bed and wheel lift cylinders, and the hydraulics on loaders and forklifts. If a part genuinely needs a machine shop, we tell you that on day one and handle the pull and reinstall so the unit is down as short a time as possible.

FAQ
Hydraulic Rams and Cylinders: questions we get.
Can you rebuild a hydraulic cylinder on site?
In most cases, yes. We pull the cylinder, replace the seals and worn parts, and reinstall it where the equipment sits. If the rod or barrel is damaged beyond a reseal, we tell you up front and arrange the machining.
How do you find a hydraulic leak that keeps coming back?
We test the whole circuit, not just the part that is leaking. Repeat failures usually trace back to pressure, heat or contaminated oil, so we check the relief settings, the pump and the fluid before we call the job done.
What equipment do you do hydraulic work on?
Bucket trucks, knuckle boom cranes, tow trucks and rollbacks, dump bodies, forklifts, loaders, and any other truck or machine that runs on hydraulics.
