Hydraulic System Repair

At Double S Diesel, we specialize in expert mobile hydraulic system repair services for heavy equipment. Hydraulic systems are critical to the operation of your machinery, providing the power necessary for lifting, digging, pushing, and operating attachments. When a hydraulic system fails, it can bring your entire operation to a halt. That’s why we offer comprehensive repair services to keep your equipment running smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal downtime, no matter where you are.

Comprehensive Hydraulic System Services

Hydraulic systems are complex, with many interdependent components that must function together seamlessly to ensure your equipment performs at its best. Our experienced mechanics have the skills and tools to diagnose and repair hydraulic issues of any size or complexity. Here’s a breakdown of the hydraulic system services we offer:

  • Hydraulic Pump Repair & Replacement: The hydraulic pump is the heart of the system, generating the pressure needed to power various components. We repair or replace damaged or worn-out hydraulic pumps to restore proper pressure and flow, ensuring your equipment operates at full power.
  • Cylinder Repair & Rebuilding: Hydraulic cylinders are essential for lifting, pushing, and pulling tasks. Over time, seals, rods, and pistons inside the cylinder can wear out, leading to leaks or loss of power. We provide full cylinder repair and rebuilding services, replacing seals, rods, and internal components to ensure your cylinders function efficiently and smoothly.
  • Hydraulic Hose & Fitting Replacement: Hydraulic hoses and fittings are subject to constant pressure, temperature changes, and wear. Leaks or burst hoses can lead to downtime and even damage other components. We inspect, repair, and replace damaged or worn hydraulic hoses and fittings, ensuring your system remains leak-free and efficient.
  • Valve Repair & Replacement: Hydraulic control valves direct fluid flow and regulate pressure within your system. Malfunctioning valves can cause poor performance, jerky movement, or complete failure of hydraulic functions. We diagnose and repair faulty valves, or replace them if necessary, ensuring precise control and smooth operation of your equipment.
  • Hydraulic Fluid Inspection & Replacement: Hydraulic fluid is the lifeblood of your system, providing lubrication, heat dissipation, and power transmission. Contaminated or degraded fluid can cause wear on components and reduce system efficiency. We inspect your hydraulic fluid for contaminants, ensure proper fluid levels, and replace old fluid to maintain optimal system performance.
  • Hydraulic System Diagnostics: With advanced diagnostic tools, we can quickly pinpoint the cause of hydraulic system issues, whether they are related to pressure loss, leaks, or component failure. Our diagnostics process allows us to identify the problem accurately and perform repairs efficiently, reducing downtime and costs.
  • Seal & O-Ring Replacement: Leaks are a common problem in hydraulic systems, often caused by worn or damaged seals and O-rings. We specialize in replacing these critical components, ensuring a leak-free system that operates under full pressure without loss of hydraulic fluid.

We help you maintain your equipment by offering preventive maintenance programs that include regular hydraulic fluid checks, hose inspections, and cylinder seal replacements. By catching problems early, we can help you avoid costly breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your hydraulic system.

Common Hydraulic System Problems We Solve

Hydraulic systems are durable, but they are also subject to wear and tear over time, particularly in demanding work environments. Here are some of the most common hydraulic system issues we resolve:

  • Hydraulic Leaks: Leaks are the most common issue in hydraulic systems and can occur due to worn seals, damaged hoses, or loose fittings. Leaks reduce system pressure and cause inefficiency, leading to sluggish performance. We quickly identify the source of leaks and repair them to restore full system functionality.
  • Low Pressure or Power Loss: If your hydraulic system is experiencing low pressure or a loss of power, it may be due to a failing pump, worn valves, or leaks within the system. We diagnose and fix the underlying cause to restore proper pressure and full power to your equipment.
  • Slow or Jerky Movement: Hydraulic systems that operate with slow or jerky movements can indicate problems with the control valves, fluid contamination, or cylinder wear. Our technicians resolve these issues, ensuring smooth and precise equipment operation.
  • Overheating: Excessive heat in hydraulic systems can result from low fluid levels, poor-quality fluid, or restricted flow. Overheating can cause permanent damage to components, so we address the root cause to keep your system cool and running efficiently.
  • Noisy Operation: Unusual noises, such as whining or banging sounds, can indicate cavitation or air trapped in the hydraulic system. We diagnose the issue and ensure your system operates quietly and efficiently.

Our Process

Our hydraulic repair process starts with a thorough inspection and diagnosis. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of any hydraulic issue, whether it’s a pressure problem, leak, or component failure. Once the issue is diagnosed, we provide a detailed estimate, including a breakdown of parts and labor costs, so you know exactly what to expect.

After we’ve agreed on the repair plan, our certified technicians perform the necessary repairs, which can range from replacing worn hoses and seals to rebuilding entire cylinders or pumps. We use only high-quality, durable parts to ensure your hydraulic system is restored to peak performance. Once the repairs are complete, we conduct extensive testing to verify that your system is operating at full capacity under real-world conditions.

To prevent future problems, we offer ongoing support through regular maintenance and inspections. This includes hydraulic fluid checks, hose replacements, and periodic cylinder rebuilds to keep your system functioning efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns.
