Hydraulic Cylinder Manufacturing, Sales & Workshop Repairs in Bendigo
From custom-engineered agricultural rams to heavy earthmoving tilt cylinders and multi-stage truck hoists, McCullochs is Central Victoria's leading authority in hydraulic cylinder sales, manufacturing, and complete workshop refurbishment.
Operating out of our fully equipped Epsom facility, we combine extensive off-the-shelf cylinder inventory with in-house CNC machining, extended-bed barrel honing, and hydrostatic pressure testing up to 10,000 PSI. Whether you need a standard tie-rod ram off the shelf or an immediate seal replacement on a bent cylinder rod, our team gets your equipment operating at full tonnage.
Hydraulic Cylinder Repairs, Resealing & Re-Rodding
Don't scrap a damaged cylinder when it can be remanufactured to OEM specifications at a fraction of the replacement cost:
Complete Teardown & Inspection: Cleaning, barrel wear measurement, and rod straightness inspection.
High-Tensile Chrome Rod Replacement: In-house machining and fitting of induction-hardened chrome plated steel rods to handle extreme side-loads.
Precision Extended-Bed Honing: Barrel honing to eliminate internal scoring, restore concentricity, and ensure perfect piston seal seating.
Custom Seal Kit Replacement: Installation of high-pressure polyurethane, Viton, and PTFE seal packages tailored to high-temperature or heavy-duty operating environments.
Standard Agricultural & Industrial Tie-Rod Rams
Heavy-duty off-the-shelf cylinders stocked at our Epsom trade counter for fast replacement:
Agricultural Tie-Rod Cylinders: Standard 1.5” to 4” bore rams with clevis pin mounts, designed for front-end loaders, slashers, trailing implements, and log splitters.
Industrial Round-Line Cylinders: Heavy-wall welded steel cylinders engineered for high-cycle factory automation, hydraulic presses, and waste compactors.
Pressure Ratings: Heavy-duty units rated up to 3,000 PSI (210 bar) and 5,000 PSI (350 bar) working pressures.
Multi-Stage Telescopic & Tipper Hoists
High-reach, multi-stage tipping cylinders for transport and civil fleets across Victoria:
Front-End & Underbody Hoists: Single-acting and double-acting telescopic cylinders for tipper trailers, rigid body trucks, and agricultural dump trailers.
Chrome Stage Protection: Hard-chrome plated stages for maximum weather, rust, and grit resistance during outdoor tipping operations.
Hoist Servicing & Gland Resealing: In-house gland nut removal, wiper replacement, and stage repacking to stop oil leaks on tipper bodies.
Custom Engineered & Heavy Earthmoving Cylinders
When standard off-the-shelf cylinders won't fit your custom machine build or obsolete machinery:
CAD Cylinder Design: Turn-key 3D modeling and custom manufacturing of specialized stroke lengths, bore sizes, and mounting styles (trunnion, flange, clevis, spherical bearings).
Earthmoving & Mining Rams: Rebuilding heavy excavator boom, arm, bucket, and steering cylinders for civil contractors and mining fleets.
10,000 PSI Hydrostatic Testing: Every rebuilt or custom cylinder undergoes rigorous bench pressure testing to guarantee zero bypass before leaving our workshop.
