We had another same-day turnaround on this Taylor forklift. Showed up at 5:45, wrestled with some seized pins, remove the cylinder, carried to our shop for a full rebuild, repaired the pins, and reinstall the cylinder. She’s ready to go for Monday morning.

🔧 DID YOU KNOW? A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER CAN FAIL FOR HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT REASONS!
Most people assume that when a hydraulic cylinder starts leaking, it just needs new seal. But what caused those seals to fail in the first place?

🔴 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PROBLEMS

* Excessive hydraulic pressure
* Sudden pressure spikes
* Hydraulic shock
* Improper relief valve settings
* Excessive backpressure
* Hydraulic oil overheating
* Cavitation and air in the system
* Malfunctioning control valves

🔴 PISTON ROD PROBLEMS

* Bent or twisted rods
* Scratched or scored chrome
* Rust and corrosion
* Pitted chrome
* Peeling or flaking chrome
* Worn or undersized rods
* Improper rod surface finish
* Damaged rod threads
* Cracked or broken rod ends

🔴 CYLINDER BARREL PROBLEMS

* Scratched or scored cylinder walls
* Rust or pitting inside the barrel
* Excessive internal wear
* Out-of-round cylinder bores
* Tapered cylinder bores
* Improper bore surface finish
* Cracked or distorted barrels
* Damaged welds
* Internal contamination

🔴 PISTON & GLAND PROBLEMS

* Worn piston wear rings
* Damaged piston grooves
* Loose piston retaining nuts
* Worn gland bushings
* Excessive gland clearance
* Damaged seal grooves
* Cracked pistons or glands
* Metal-to-metal contact
* Improperly machined components

🔴 SEAL FAILURES

* Incorrect seal material
* Incorrect seal size
* Improper seal installation
* Seal extrusion
* Hardened or brittle seals
* Excessive seal friction
* Heat-damaged seals
* Chemical deterioration
* Seal damage from contamination
* Incorrect seal groove dimensions

🔴 EQUIPMENT & OPERATOR PROBLEMS

* Worn mounting pins
* Worn bushings
* Misaligned mounting points
* Excessive side loading
* Overloading equipment
* Repeatedly bottoming out cylinders
* Bent equipment linkage
* Improper cylinder installation
* Using cylinders beyond their rated capacity

🔴 HYDRAULIC OIL & CONTAMINATION

* Dirty hydraulic oil
* Water contamination
* Metal particles
* Incorrect hydraulic fluid
* Inadequate filtration
* Degraded hydraulic oil
* Contaminated hoses and fittings
* Lack of proper lubrication

🔴 IMPROPER REPAIRS

* Replacing seals without inspecting components
* Reusing worn or damaged parts
* Failing to measure critical tolerances
* Incorrect seal kits
* Improper honing
* Incorrect machining
* Improper assembly
* Failure to identify the original cause of failure

⚠️ HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART:

A leaking seal is often the RESULT of a problem, not the CAUSE of the problem.

You can install brand-new seals in a cylinder with a damaged rod, worn gland, or scored barrel, and the underlying problem will still be there.

That’s why there’s a difference between REPLACING SEALS and PROPERLY REPAIRING A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER.

At Blount Cylinder Repair, we believe in identifying the problem, explaining what we find, and recommending the repairs necessary to correct it.

Got this lift cylinder rebuilt and ready to go out to the job site. We honed the barrel, polished the rod, reworked the gland, reworked the piston, and resealed the cartridge valve.

Did you know there are over 400 different hydraulic seal profiles? 🤯

And depending on the size, style, and material, seals can range from just a few bucks to hundreds of dollars each.

That’s why we don’t like guessing prices over the phone. Every cylinder is different — bring it to us, let us inspect it, and we’ll give you an accurate price instead of guessing with your money.
