Common signs include visible oil leaks, slow or uneven elevator movement, grinding or unusual noises, car leveling issues, and frequent hydraulic fluid top-ups. If you notice any of these issues, schedule an inspection immediately to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

Most hydraulic cylinder replacements are completed in 1-3 days, depending on building height, access conditions, and cylinder size. The process includes removal of the old cylinder, installation of the new unit, and thorough testing. We work to minimize downtime and can often schedule work during off-hours.

Common causes include seal deterioration over time, corrosion from moisture or contaminated hydraulic fluid, cylinder scoring from debris, improper maintenance, and normal wear after 15-25 years of service. Regular maintenance and fluid changes can extend cylinder life significantly.

In some cases, cylinders can be repacked or re-sleeved if damage is minimal. However, if there's significant corrosion, scoring, or structural damage, full replacement is more cost-effective long-term. We provide honest assessments and recommend the most economical solution for your situation.

Cost varies based on cylinder bore size, stroke length, building height, and site conditions. Typical replacements range from $15,000-$50,000+ including the cylinder, labor, equipment, and testing. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your specific installation.
