TRADE COUNTERS
Is there anywhere I can park at your Trade Counter’s?

A.Yes there is, we have customer parking right outside all of our Trade counters.

IN-HOUSE WORKSHOP

How much will my cylinder cost to repair?

Until the cylinder is taken apart, it’s hard to give an exact estimate but we can contact you before carrying out any repair.

---------------------

Can you test my cylinder to see if is leaking inside?

Yes, we have a good in-house test facility for this purpose.

---------------------

Can you repair cylinders while on our site?

This cannot be done, as it has to be taken apart in a clean environment and must be tested to the correct pressure.

---------------------

Can you hone cylinder tubes?

Yes we can but it will depend on the level of damage to the cylinder tube.

SYSTEMS DIVISION

Why do hydraulic components fail?

Like anything mechanical, wear and tear is eminent. Seals, springs and components that rely on a tolerance fit lose efficiency overtime or from damage or poor filtration and leak, meaning the system doesn’t get the pressures it needs to work.

We can diagnose any fault and get you back up and running again.

---------------------

Why are my hydraulics running hot?

Excessive heat occurs when more heat is produced than can be dissipated. Inefficiencies cause heat, as well as poor filtration and lack of cooling. We can keep your system running at optimum temperatures which will prolong the life of the components.

---------------------

What oil do I need to use?

Only dedicated hydraulic oil can be used in hydraulic systems, see us for all your oil needs.

---------------------
