Custom Hoist Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Fontana
Custom Hoist telescopic cylinders lift the dump bodies on the trucks that keep the Inland Empire building — and a hoist that drifts, leaks at the stages, or will not finish its stroke puts the whole truck out of work. LA Trucks and Tractors repairs Custom Hoist cylinders at our Fontana shop at 14166 Whittram Ave: every stage torn down and measured, barrels honed, rods and tubes re-chromed or manufactured new, glands renewed and the finished hoist pressure-tested before it goes back on the subframe.

Telescopic dump hoists judged stage by stage
A telescopic hoist fails differently from a standard cylinder. Stage tubes score each other, packing wears unevenly across stages, and a bent or corroded outer tube makes the whole stack creep under load. We measure each stage — tube bores, rod and tube chrome, gland fits, stop rings — and quote from those numbers: an honest repack where the tubes are truly sound, tube renewal and re-chroming where they are not, and new manufacture when a stage is past repair. The result lifts level, holds under load, and does not weep at the wipers.

Frequently asked questions
My dump hoist drifts down under load. Can it be repaired?
Usually, yes. Drift is almost always internal bypass past worn stage packing or a scored tube. We identify the stage at teardown and quote the repair that restores load-holding.

Yes — Custom Hoist is one specialty among many; we rebuild telescopic and standard cylinders for dump trucks, refuse trucks and equipment of all major brands.
