Hydraulic Cylinder Service
Hydraulic cylinder rebuilds, faster than the manufacturer.
When a hydraulic cylinder starts leaking, dragging, or losing pressure, the equipment goes with it. Replacing the cylinder through the original manufacturer can take weeks. WRS rebuilds hydraulic cylinders in-shop at our Pompano Beach facility — bringing the equipment back to operating condition in a fraction of the time.
Every rebuild includes a full teardown, inspection, replacement of seals and worn components, reassembly, and a bench-test under pressure before reinstall. We rebuild cylinders for balers, compactors, dock equipment, and other commercial hydraulic systems.
BALER & COMPACTOR CYLINDERS
Most of the cylinders we rebuild come off balers and compactors. Different bore sizes, different strokes, different mounting styles — same teardown-and-rebuild process.
Baler Cylinders
Main ram cylinders for vertical and horizontal balers. Long-stroke high-pressure work — the cylinders that take the brunt of every compaction cycle.

Compactor Cylinders
Ram cylinders for stationary, self-contained, and apartment compactors. Variable bore sizes, often configured with specific mounting hardware for the unit.

These are the symptoms our technicians look for when diagnosing a hydraulic problem. If you’re seeing any of these, the cylinder is usually the cause.
Visible fluid leaks
Hydraulic fluid pooling under or around the cylinder, or running down the rod after extension. Usually a seal failure; sometimes a rod or gland issue.
Slow or inconsistent extension
The cylinder extends slowly, jerkily, or with inconsistent speed. Often a seal bypass internally letting pressure leak past the piston.
Won’t hold pressure
The cylinder extends but drifts back, or the equipment loses its hold on a compacted load. Internal seal failure on the piston.
Rod scoring or damage
Visible scratches, pitting, or scoring on the cylinder rod. Damages seals every cycle — once the rod is damaged, the cylinder won’t hold pressure for long.
Failed or weeping seals
Older seals harden, crack, and start weeping. A weeping seal is usually the warning before a full failure that takes the equipment offline.
Loss of compaction force
Bales coming out loose, compactor loads not packing tight, or the equipment not finishing its cycle. Often a sign the cylinder isn’t developing full pressure.

Most rebuilds happen in-shop at our Pompano Beach facility on a turnaround that fits the equipment’s downtime needs. Removal and reinstall on-site happens around the rebuild work. We’ll give you a real estimate when you call — it depends on the cylinder type and what we find during teardown.
Yes. Our team rebuilds cylinders for every major brand of baler and compactor running in South Florida, plus dock equipment and other commercial hydraulic systems. The teardown-and-rebuild process is the same regardless of manufacturer.
In most cases, yes — significantly. A rebuild uses the existing cylinder body and rod (which are still in good condition for most failures) and replaces the worn components. Full replacement through the OEM can take weeks and runs several times the cost of a rebuild.
Yes. Our technicians can come on-site, remove the cylinder, bring it to the shop for rebuild, and reinstall it once the rebuild is complete. We can also work with your in-house maintenance staff if they prefer to handle removal and reinstall themselves.
We tell you up front. After teardown, if the cylinder body is cracked, the rod is too damaged to refinish, or another structural issue is found, we recommend replacement rather than a rebuild — and quote you accordingly.
Yes. Every rebuild leaves our shop bench-tested under pressure and is warranted against defects in workmanship and the parts we install. Specific terms are confirmed at quoting.
