Lift, tip and load with force
When the hydraulics fail, the truck cannot do its job — the body will not lift, the crane will not reach, the gate will not drop. We repair tipper, crane and PTO hydraulic systems so your equipment works under load, every time.
On a working truck, the hydraulics are what turn it from a means of transport into a tool that earns. The tipper body that raises to dump a load, the crane that lifts pallets off the tray, the tailgate loader that brings freight to ground level, the walking floor that unloads itself — none of it happens without a hydraulic system delivering serious force on demand. And when that system fails, the truck is not just down a feature; it often cannot complete the job at all. A tipper that will not lift is a truck full of gravel going nowhere.
We diagnose and repair the complete hydraulic system: the PTO that drives it off the gearbox, the pump that builds the pressure, the rams and cylinders that do the work, the valves that direct the flow, and the hoses, fittings and reservoir that tie it all together. Hydraulic faults can be subtle — a system that lifts slowly, drifts down under load, runs hot, or judders instead of moving smoothly — and they can be dramatic, like a burst hose dumping oil across a worksite. We find the cause, fix it properly, and make sure the system delivers full force safely.

Cleanliness is everything in hydraulics
Hydraulic systems live or die by the cleanliness of their oil. The tiniest contamination — water, grit, metal particles or the wrong fluid — scores pumps, jams valves and destroys seals, turning a minor issue into an expensive rebuild. When we repair a hydraulic system, we work clean, we use the correct fluid, and we flush contamination out rather than sealing it in. That discipline is the difference between a repair that lasts for years and one that fails again within months.
Safety under load is non-negotiable
Hydraulic equipment moves heavy things, often with people working nearby, and a failure under load can be dangerous as well as costly. A tipper body that drops unexpectedly or a crane that loses pressure mid-lift is a serious hazard. We repair hydraulic systems with safety front of mind — testing under load, checking that hold valves and safety devices work, and making sure the equipment behaves predictably and stays where it is put. Your operators' safety and your equipment's reliability are part of the same job.
Body won't lift, crane won't reach or hydraulics running slow and hot? Book a hydraulic system check and we'll get your truck working with full force again.
Hydraulics & PTO questions
Yes. Slow lifting and drifting usually point to a worn pump, a leaking ram seal or a faulty valve. We diagnose the cause and repair it so the body lifts strongly and holds under load.
We do. The PTO drives the whole system off the gearbox, so we diagnose and repair PTO engagement and drive faults as part of getting your hydraulics working again.
Yes. We service and repair tipper, crane, tailgate-loader and walking-floor hydraulics, including testing under load and checking the safety devices.
