What Rams We Handle
Not sure if we can repair your ram? Bring it in anyway.
We work on hydraulic rams from a wide range of industries, including agriculture, plant hire, forestry, and general industrial equipment, single-acting, double-acting, or telescopic.
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.
​
Most repairs are completed within 2–3 working days. Where a replacement is needed, this can take up to a week, depending on parts availability.

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 within 2–3 working days. Where a replacement is needed, this can take up to a week, depending on parts availability.
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.
