Hydraulic Machine Shop

Hydraulic systems power your machines and keep your business moving forward. That means you expect and deserve the best when you need parts and components refurbished or fabricated — and Hydraulics Express has you covered.



Our full-service custom hydraulics machine shop employs skilled technicians and machinists working with best-in-class equipment to deliver products that satisfy and surpass OEM standards. We can provide you with new parts or help you get more life out of your components without sacrificing performance.



We have the skill and the inventory to quickly complete machining and fabrication services for you. Our hydraulic machinists can perform a wide range of functions including the fabrication of new rods, barrels, pistons and head glands. We maintain a large supply of steel and chrome rod stock and we purchase on-spec pieces as needed.



We also ensure that our experts always have the equipment they need to get the job done right. We have five lathes with a sixth dedicated to polishing, two vertical mills, one radial drill press, two drill presses, one band saw, Varese's grinders, surface grinders and welding equipment. Our lathes can accommodate a rod or barrel up to 24’ in length if the diameter is less than 6”. If the diameter is over 6”, we can handle a rod or barrel just over 13’ in length.



Our capabilities include the addition of the Haas ST-35, a sophisticated computer numerical control (CNC) lathe that enhances the productivity and accuracy of our cylinder work. The ST-35 is a big-bore lathe that machines parts according to specifications programmed into a computer. This model gives our hydraulics machine shop an even greater capacity to perform challenging and complex work precisely and efficiently — meaning you get excellent and cost-effective results, and get them fast. With can also fabricate large orders of parts ordered to the same specifications.



We also take fluid contamination as seriously as you do, which is why we follow the comprehensive program from Caterpillar for contamination control. We take steps to ensure that the tools and fluids in our shop are free of particulates, and the climate-controlled environment helps prevent moisture buildup. These precautions, along with the shop’s additional contamination-control systems, mean you can be confident that your hydraulic fluid will be kept free of moisture and debris so you can keep your equipment running smoothly for the long haul.



With our investment in contamination-free facilities, advanced equipment and expert machinists, you can always expect high-quality products and services through Hydraulics Express. We have the experience and expertise to perform the work you need and fabricate or refurbish a variety of parts, including:
