Manufacture of two tilt cylinders

Sector:

Plant Hire

Location:

Glasgow

SOW:

The cylinders were stripped into their individual components and an inspection was carried out. An appraisal document was submitted, outlining the scope of work to be done.

Due to heavy corrosion, the cylinders needed to be manufactured from new. In order to keep prices down, the existing rod eye and cylinder eye were reused in the build.

A new rod was manufactured and assembled to existing rod eye.

A new tube was manufactured, incorporating the existing cylinder eye.

A new piston, new end cap, new bushes and new seal kit were fitted before the cylinders were reassembled.

Result:

Both cylinders were function and pressure tested to industry standard.

All test oil was evacuated from the cylinders before sealing the cylinders, for contamination control.

The cylinders were painted to protect the newly manufactured tube before delivering it back to the customer.
