Eaton Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Fontana
Eaton cylinders — including the mill-type and tie-rod lines long sold under the Vickers name — were built for punishing duty: steel mills, presses, injection machines and heavy mobile equipment. When one starts drifting, leaking past the rod or losing push, our Fontana shop rebuilds it the way heavy cylinders have to be rebuilt: torn down and measured, barrels honed back to finish, rods repaired or manufactured new, and the whole cylinder pressure-tested before it leaves the bench.

Mill-type, tie-rod and welded Eaton cylinders
Heavy-duty cylinders fail at heavy-duty places: piston seals bypassing under sustained load, rods scored where grit rides the wiper, barrels bell-mouthed where the piston dwells. We measure all three at teardown and quote the work the measurements call for — a reseal where seals are honestly the whole story, and rod or barrel work where they are not. Large-bore work is handled on the same bench and machine shop that rebuilds cylinders for the excavators, loaders and dozers working across the Inland Empire.

Heavy cylinders deserve a heavy bench
A mill-type cylinder is not a weekend reseal job — it is weight, pressure and tolerances, and a shortcut shows up fast once the cylinder is back under load. Our bench sets clearances from measurements, uses seals matched to the cylinder's pressure and fluid, and proves the rebuild under pressure before it ships. Regular hours Monday–Friday 6 AM–5 PM; rush and emergency service runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with free quotes and free pick-up and delivery.
- Mill-type and heavy tie-rod cylinder rebuilding

Frequently asked questions
Do you rebuild Vickers-branded cylinders as well as Eaton?
Yes. The Vickers cylinder lines became part of Eaton, and the construction is the same family our bench rebuilds daily — tie-rod, mill-type and welded heavy-duty cylinders.
Why does my Eaton cylinder drift under a held load?
Drift under load is internal bypass — worn piston seals or barrel wear letting oil past the piston. We measure the barrel and piston at teardown and quote the repair that actually stops it.
