Hydraulic cylinder bench · Fontana, CA
A drifting lift arm or a tilt cylinder that won't hold a load puts a Bobcat out of work as surely as a dead engine. Our Fontana cylinder bench rebuilds Bobcat lift, tilt, boom and steering cylinders in-house — reseal, rod work, barrel honing and pressure testing under one roof.
Hydraulic cylinder bench · Fontana, CA
Skid steer and track loader cylinders live a hard life: side loads, contaminated pins, rods working in dust all day. We strip each cylinder, measure rod and barrel, and rebuild what the measurements call for — new seals and wear rings, rods re-chromed or manufactured new when they are bent or scored, barrels honed back to finish. Every rebuilt cylinder is pressure-tested before it leaves.

Bobcat skid steer hydraulic cylinder repair at LA Trucks and Tractors in Fontana
Some Bobcat cylinders genuinely need only a reseal — and that is all we will sell you. Others arrive with scored rods or worn barrels that will eat a new seal kit in a month; those get rod and barrel work so the repair lasts. Either way the decision comes from measurements taken on your cylinder, and the quote comes before the work. Regular hours Monday–Friday 6 AM–5 PM; rush service 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Drift usually means internal bypass — worn piston seals or a scored barrel. We measure the barrel and piston at teardown and quote the repair the cylinder actually needs.
A bent rod is replaced, not straightened, on our bench — we manufacture a new rod to the original dimensions and rebuild the cylinder around it.
