Heil Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Fontana
Heil cylinders do the heavy lifting on refuse trucks, dump bodies and hoists — packing, lifting and tipping loads all day in the dirtiest hydraulic environment on the road. When a Heil cylinder starts creeping, leaking past stage seals or lifting unevenly, our Fontana bench rebuilds it properly: every stage torn down and measured, tubes honed, rods and stage sleeves renewed or manufactured new, and the assembled cylinder pressure-tested through its full stroke.

Telescopic and single-acting Heil cylinders, stage by stage
Telescopic cylinders fail stage by stage: a worn early stage lets the load settle, scored stage tubes shred the next seal set, and contamination from refuse duty accelerates everything. We inspect each stage's tube, seals, bearings and stops, plus the rod and gland on single-acting hoist and packer cylinders, and quote from those measurements. Bent or scored stages are never straightened and hoped for — they are restored or manufactured new on our own machines.

Frequently asked questions
Can you rebuild a telescopic Heil dump hoist cylinder?
Yes — telescopic hoist cylinders are regular bench work. Every stage is measured, worn stages are honed or renewed, seals are replaced as a set, and the cylinder is tested through its full stroke.
Why does my Heil cylinder lift unevenly or settle?
Uneven lift and settling point to stage wear, internal bypass or a damaged stage tube. We find the exact stage and cause at teardown rather than resealing blind.
