Hydraulic repairs, supplies & engineering · Kimberley, Northern Cape
Leaking, drifting or bent? We strip, measure and rebuild hydraulic cylinders in our Kimberley workshop so your machine gets back to work.
Cylinder repairs are the core of what Helcon does. Every cylinder that comes through the workshop is stripped, cleaned and checked: rod, barrel, piston, gland and seals. You get a clear quote before any work starts, and a straight answer on whether a rebuild makes more sense than a replacement.
We repair single and double-acting cylinders off excavators, loaders, tipper trucks, cranes, tractors, balers and shears. In-house welding and manufacturing means we can make up parts that aren’t available off the shelf.
Catching a problem early usually means a cheaper repair and less downtime.
Worn or damaged rod seals, or a scored rod.
Oil bypassing the piston seals inside the cylinder.
Internal leakage, air in the system or a damaged piston.
Impact damage that will destroy new seals if not fixed.
Excavators, loaders, drill rigs and plant cylinders for Northern Cape mines.
Tractors, loaders, sprayers, balers and implements kept working.
Balers, shears, loggers and material handlers.
Tipper trucks, truck cranes, hook-lifts, tail-lifts and wet kits.
Phone the workshop or bring the part to us in South Ridge, Kimberley.
We strip, clean and inspect it to find the real cause, not only the symptom.
You get a quote before work starts, and an honest repair-or-replace answer.
We repair, re-seal and test, then let you know it’s ready to collect.
In most cases a rebuild costs less than a new cylinder, especially on large mining and earthmoving cylinders. We assess the rod, barrel and piston first and tell you honestly if replacement is the better option.
It depends on the size of the cylinder, the damage and parts availability. Call us with the machine and cylinder details and we’ll give you a realistic time frame. Fast turnaround is a priority for us.
Yes. Depending on the damage we straighten the rod or make a new one, then re-seal the cylinder.
No. Most customers remove the cylinder and bring it to our Kimberley workshop. Call us first if you’re not sure.
Seals, seal kits, fittings and hydraulic components over the counter.
Hydraulic pumps, motors, valves and power packs repaired and tested.
Precision welding, in-house manufacturing and hydraulic installations.
