Hydraulic cylinder bench · Fontana, CA
Komatsu machines earn their keep on cylinder power — the boom that holds a load, the blade that holds a grade, the bucket that has to crowd without drifting. When a Komatsu cylinder starts bypassing, weeping at the rod or losing strength, our Fontana cylinder bench rebuilds it in-house: full teardown, measurement of rod, barrel and piston, and the machine work to put it back to spec under the same roof.
Hydraulic cylinder bench · Fontana, CA
We rebuild the cylinders that do the heavy work on Komatsu excavators, wheel loaders, dozers and backhoes — boom, stick, bucket, lift, tilt, blade and steering cylinders. Each one is stripped and measured before it is quoted: barrels are honed back to finish, scored or bent rods are re-chromed or manufactured new on our own machines, and the cylinder is reassembled with seals matched to its duty, then pressure-tested before it leaves the bench.

Komatsu wheel loader hydraulic cylinder repair at LA Trucks and Tractors in Fontana
A Komatsu cylinder that drifts under load is telling you something specific — internal bypass past the piston seals, a scored barrel, or a rod problem — and each cause has a different repair. We find the actual one at teardown and quote exactly that work, nothing padded onto it. Regular hours are Monday–Friday 6 AM–5 PM; the rush line runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and quotes, pick-up and delivery are free — you talk directly with John Clark.

Settling usually means internal bypass in the boom cylinder — worn piston seals or barrel scoring letting oil past the piston. We strip and measure the cylinder and quote the repair it actually needs.
Yes. A bent rod is manufactured new to the original dimensions in our own shop rather than straightened, and the cylinder is rebuilt and pressure-tested around it.
