Dock Leveler Cylinder Repair

Sector:

Industrial.

Location:

Scotland.

SOW:

• A pair of dock leveler cylinders with severe rod deflection were brought in. The severe rod deflections had caused the rod to snap on both cylinders. The cylinders were subsequently stripped and a documented appraisal was submitted, outlining the scope of work for damage.
• The damaged rods were replaced with new EN14 chrome rods and the original rod eyes were welded on to reduce the cost for the customer.
•  The severe deflection of the rods also caused the front glands to crack so these were replaced with new ones.
• A replacement full seal kit was installed and the cylinder reassembled, function and pressure tested.

Result:

Final inspection checks were carried out before returning the cylinder to the customer.
