Hydraulic Cylinder Repair — Los Angeles
Once a cylinder starts leaking or bends, the machine it belongs to sits idle — and Los Angeles depends on machines: loaders, excavators, refuse and vocational trucks, industrial presses. Top Notch Equipment Repair rebuilds hydraulic cylinders at our Fontana shop and covers LA with free pick-up and delivery where applicable, handling disassembly, measurement, resealing, re-rodding, barrel honing and testing for everything from compact-equipment cylinders to heavy-iron and industrial units.
Looking after Los Angeles from our Fontana base
Most of the time, rebuilding wins over replacing
We handle single- and double-acting cylinders, telescopic stages, lift, tilt and steering cylinders, boom and stick cylinders, and industrial units. Rods are inspected and re-chromed or replaced, barrels are honed, glands and pistons are measured, and seals are matched to the application — after which the rebuilt cylinder is pressure-tested before it travels back. The wear and the measurements are yours to see before you approve anything.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Los Angeles · Fontana, CAWhy operators choose a shop in Fontana
Cylinder work is machining work at its core, and keeping that machining in-house is the whole advantage. A shop in LA that only reseals has no answer for a scored rod or an oval barrel; we do. Inspections are documented, quotes are written, and pick-up and delivery are free where applicable. Regular hours run Monday–Friday, 6 AM–5 PM, and the rush line answers around the clock, every day of the year.

Any part the job needs is machined, welded, rebuilt or reverse-engineered right here.

Questions customers ask us most
Is there a shop of yours in Los Angeles?
No — the cylinder shop is based in Fontana. Los Angeles is covered through free pick-up and delivery where applicable, and cylinders ship and travel without difficulty.
Is rebuilding a cylinder worthwhile compared with buying new?
In most cases it is — when the barrel and rod are sound or can be repaired, a rebuild works out cheaper than a new cylinder and comes back sooner. Measurements come first with us, and if yours is the exception, you will hear that honestly.
How do I find out what it will cost?
There is no charge for a quote. Ring (800) 821-3404 or (949) 400-2937 — after we have seen the machine or component, we document the failure with photos and video, then put the price in writing before any work begins.
