Welcome to Ames Hydraulics, where precision meets speed in hydraulic cylinder rebuild. Whether you’re a farmer, construction worker, or work in city maintenance, we understand the critical role that hydraulic systems on your equipment play in your daily operations. A malfunctioning piece of hydraulic equipment can grind your work to a halt, costing you valuable time and money. That’s where we come in.
Our Expertise
At Ames Hydraulics, we pride ourselves on being more than just a hydraulic shop. We’re a team of passionate hydraulic mechanics dedicated to restoring the power and performance of your hydraulic equipment. Our specialties include:
- Hydraulic Cylinders: We rebuild hydraulic cylinders to their original strength and efficiency, ensuring no leaks because we pressure test every cylinder. The only stipulation: if we need to build custom machined parts for your cylinder due to major structural damage, it might take a little longer.
- Hydraulic Valve Blocks: The heart of hydraulic systems, directing the flow of fluid to achieve the desired action. We ensure they function perfectly, channeling fluid seamlessly with no leaks.
- Pumps and Drive Motors: Vital for the operation of most hydraulic systems, we make sure they deliver fluid without leaks and at the correct pressure and volume. We also replace the bearings in hydraulic drive motors.
