Yates Cylinders can handle your hydraulic cylinder repair 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When it comes to cylinders, Yates has the expertise you need.
Our repair facility is the largest and most comprehensive in the Midwest, offering 24/7 emergency service along with convenient pick-up and delivery options. Yates maintains an extensive inventory of components and materials to ensure your cylinder can be repaired quickly, even under tight deadlines. With decades of experience, we can repair and recondition virtually any make or model of hydraulic cylinder, including both standard and metric designs.
Ignoring hydraulic cylinder damage can lead to worsening leaks, reduced equipment performance, contamination, increased downtime, and potential failure of surrounding hydraulic system components. Early repair helps minimize larger operational issues and repair costs.
Routine inspections, clean hydraulic fluid, proper lubrication, seal monitoring, and early repair of worn components can help reduce failures, improve reliability, and extend the operational lifespan of hydraulic cylinders.
A complete hydraulic cylinder repair may include inspection, disassembly, cleaning, machining, welding, rod repair, honing, rechroming, seal replacement, reassembly, and pressure testing depending on the cylinder condition and type of damage.
Repair timelines depend on the cylinder size, extent of the damage, required machining, and parts availability. Smaller repairs may be completed quickly, while large or heavily damaged cylinders may require additional repair and testing time. Contact our team for a quote.
Hydraulic cylinder repair is the process of restoring damaged, worn, or failed hydraulic cylinders back to proper operating conditions. Over time, hydraulic cylinders experience wear from high pressures, contamination, continuous cycling, harsh environments, and heavy loads.
At Yates, our expert repair services guarantee that your hydraulic cylinder will return to its original specifications—or better. Our repair process may involve disassembly, inspection, machining, welding, seal replacement, rod repair, and more. For a detailed overview of our repair process, visit our pages on tie rod cylinder repair, welded cylinder repair, and mill duty cylinder repair.
Yates Industries repairs a wide range of hydraulic cylinders used in light-duty, severe-duty, and mobile equipment applications. Our team specializes in restoring cylinder performance, reliability, and service life through our comprehensive repair process. Our specialties include:
Tie rod cylinders are one of the most used hydraulic cylinder designs, due to their ease of maintenance and serviceable construction. These cylinders use external threaded tie rods to secure the cylinder assembly together, making them easier to disassemble, inspect, and repair compared to some other cylinder styles.
Yates Industries provides comprehensive tie rod cylinder repair services including complete disassembly, inspection, rod repair, seal replacement, machining, honing, and final testing. Our repair process is designed to restore cylinder performance while helping prevent future failures.
Explore our tie rod cylinder repair capabilities and maintenance recommendations.
Welded cylinders are widely used in heavy-duty industrial applications and mobile equipment due to their sturdy design. Unlike tie rod cylinders, welded cylinders feature a welded barrel construction that allows for improved durability in high-pressure and space-constrained applications.
Yates Industries repairs welded hydraulic cylinders affected by leaks, rod damage, barrel scoring, worn seals, structural wear, and internal contamination. Our repair capabilities include complete teardown, welding, machining, rechroming, straightening, and pressure testing to ensure reliable performance in demanding applications.

Mill duty cylinders are designed for the harshest operating conditions. They are commonly found in steel mills, mining operations, material handling systems, and heavy manufacturing applications where equipment is frequently exposed to high pressures, shock loading, and contamination.
Yates Industries mill duty cylinder repair services may include rod repair, barrel honing, seal replacement, machining, straightening, and complete cylinder rebuilding. Proper repair and maintenance help improve reliability, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of critical industrial equipment.

Hydraulic cylinders are critical components in many industries where heavy equipment and hydraulic systems are essential to daily operations. Yates Industries supports customers across a wide range of industrial applications requiring reliable hydraulic performance, including:
Repairing a hydraulic cylinder is often more cost-effective and faster than sourcing an entirely new unit, especially for large or custom cylinders. In many cases, damaged components can be restored while maintaining the original cylinder design.
However, if there’s more extensive equipment damage, such as severe structural damage, extensive corrosion, or repeated failures, replacement may be the more practical solution.
When you’re evaluating whether hydraulic cylinder repair or replacement is the right choice for your operation, you may want to consider:
