As temperatures drop and winter approaches, ensuring your equipment is in peak condition is more critical than ever. Skid steers, excavators, dump trucks, and other heavy machinery face extra wear and tear in cold weather. Hydraulic systems, in particular, can be vulnerable to freezing temperatures, causing reduced performance, leaks, or even complete failure.

Whether you need a replacement for your skid steer, excavator, or dump truck, our cylinders are built for reliability in the harshest conditions.

Here are some tips to ensure your equipment runs smoothly in winter:

  • Protect hoses: Use protective wraps or store hoses indoors to shield them from ice and snow.
  • Use the right fluid: Make sure to use the appropriate hydraulic fluid for cold weather.
  • Run the system: Before using any attachments, run the hydraulic system for about an hour to warm it up.
  • Inspect and clean: Inspect hydraulic hoses for damage, clean them, and check for leaks.
