Repair and Manufacture of Hydraulic Cylinders in Alberta
Repair and Manufacture of Hydraulic Cylinders in Alberta: Big West’s Expertise Delivered On-Site
Hydraulic cylinders are the workhorses of Alberta’s industrial and agricultural operations. From construction sites and mining operations to oilfields and farming equipment, these components power the heavy lifting and precision control that modern machinery demands. When they break down or wear out, downtime can quickly become costly. That’s where Big West comes in — offering dependable hydraulic cylinder repair and manufacturing services across Alberta, with both in-shop expertise and mobile support to get your equipment back in service quickly.
Local Solutions from a Trusted Alberta Partner
Big West is a proudly local Alberta company, rooted in the communities we serve. Our team specializes in the complete repair and custom manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders for a broad range of industries, including construction, agriculture, energy, forestry, and transportation. Unlike large chains or distant suppliers, we understand the urgency of your work, the local terrain, and the environmental demands your equipment faces.
Our technicians work with precision and care, whether it’s a small single-acting cylinder or a large multi-stage telescopic unit. We’re equipped to handle cylinders of all types, sizes, and configurations. Every repair is backed by rigorous quality control, ensuring that your hydraulic system meets or exceeds OEM standards.
Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Services
When a hydraulic cylinder fails, it can halt an entire operation. Big West offers comprehensive repair services designed to minimize downtime and extend the life of your equipment. Our repair process begins with a full inspection to diagnose the root cause of the failure — whether it’s due to seal wear, rod scoring, barrel pitting, or contamination.
We then provide a detailed quote outlining recommended repairs and turnaround time. Our skilled team handles:
Disassembly and cleaning
Honing or re-chroming of cylinder barrels
Rod straightening or replacement
Seal replacement using high-quality kits
Pressure testing to ensure leak-free performance
Whether you need a minor reseal or a full rebuild, our goal is to return your cylinder in peak condition, ready for the demands of Alberta’s toughest worksites.
Custom Hydraulic Cylinder Manufacturing
In addition to repairs, Big West designs and manufactures custom hydraulic cylinders built to your specifications. When off-the-shelf options don’t meet your needs — or when the original equipment manufacturer no longer supports your cylinder — we can reverse-engineer and fabricate a new unit that matches or improves on the original.
Using top-grade steel and precision machining, we manufacture cylinders that meet the performance and durability standards expected in high-pressure, high-cycle environments. Our custom manufacturing service includes:
Single-acting and double-acting cylinders
Telescopic cylinders
Welded and tie-rod styles
Specialty cylinder designs for unique applications
Whether you’re upgrading your machinery or replacing obsolete components, Big West delivers hydraulic solutions tailored to your equipment and your work conditions.
