Hydraulics are the muscle of your fleet. When they fail, work stops. Munson Earth Moving specializes in the complex art of hydraulic troubleshooting and repair. We go beyond swapping parts—we diagnose the root cause of pressure loss, leaks, and slow cycle times to ensure a lasting fix.
Why wait weeks for an OEM replacement? Our in-house machine shop can fabricate new hydraulic cylinder rods from scratch. We have the lathes and stock material to machine, polish, and install a new rod in a fraction of the time.
A leaking cylinder is an environmental hazard and a safety risk. We completely disassemble cylinders, hone the barrels, and install high-performance seal kits to restore factory pressure ratings.
If your machine feels weak, don’t guess. We perform flow and pressure tests to pinpoint failing hydraulic pumps, relief valves, or drive motors, ensuring you only replace what is actually broken.
In most cases, rebuilding is significantly cheaper and faster—especially for large commercial cylinders. By honing the barrel, polishing the rod, and installing new high-performance seals, we can return a cylinder to “like new” condition for a fraction of the OEM replacement cost.
Contamination is the #1 killer of hydraulic systems. Dirt, water, or metal shavings in your oil can destroy pumps and valves. That’s why our repair process always includes a discussion on system flushing and filter upgrades to prevent the issue from coming back.
Yes. Minor scratches can often be polished out. For bent or deeply scored rods, our in-house machine shop can cut the old eye off, machine a brand new rod from induction-hardened chrome stock, and weld the eye back on. We do this right here in Williston.
