Hydraulic Ram Repair
We strip hydraulic rams completely, assess what's actually wrong, and rebuild them right. Customers bring rams to us from across the UK — North Wales, Shropshire, Cornwall, Scotland — by courier or in person, because they want it done in-house by people who know what they're doing.
We've been doing this since 1992. Most repairs are back with you next working day.
What We Repair
We handle the full range of hydraulic ram problems, including:
-
Bent or scored rods — replaced if damaged beyond repair, re-machined or straightened if the damage is minor
-
Failed or weeping seals — full reseal with new kits
-
Damaged or scored cylinder bores — honed and refurbished where possible
-
Full rebuilds — where a complete overhaul is the most cost-effective fix
What Rams We Handle
We handle single-acting, double-acting and telescopic rams from agricultural, plant, forestry and industrial machinery — any brand, any age. If you're not sure whether yours is worth repairing, bring it in or send it and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
Rather than guessing over the phone, we'll take a proper look, diagnose the issue, and give you an honest answer on whether repair or replacement is the better option.

Hydraulic ram repair is just one part of what we do in our workshop, from pump rebuilds to full hydraulic system repairs.
Hydraulic Ram Repair FAQs
How much does hydraulic ram repair cost?
It depends on the extent of the damage, a reseal costs a lot less than a full rebuild. We'll always give you an honest assessment and a clear quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
How long does a repair take?
Most repairs are completed next working day. Where parts need ordering, we'll tell you upfront how long it'll take.
Can a bent rod always be repaired?
Not always. If the bend is severe or the rod is badly scored, straightening isn't always safe or cost-effective, and replacement may be the better option. We'll tell you honestly which route makes more sense rather than pushing an unnecessary repair.
Do I need to bring the ram in myself?
You're welcome to drop it off at our Ross-on-Wye workshop, or get in touch to tell us you're sending it.
Do you repair rams from all makes and machinery?
Yes, we work on rams from a wide range of agricultural, plant, forestry, and industrial equipment. If you're not sure whether we can help with yours, just call and ask.
