Hydraulic Pump Repair Services in Cape Town
Repairs, Servicing, and Sales of Hydraulic Components

If your business depends on hydraulic systems, you know that downtime can affect operations quickly. That’s why our hydraulic pump repair services in Cape Town are structured to deliver fast, accurate repairs with minimal disruption. We focus on core hydraulic components—pumps, valves, cylinders, hand pumps, and complete power packs.

We provide repair and servicing solutions to businesses across marine, industrial, construction, earthmoving, and manufacturing sectors. Our facility is fully equipped to handle a range of hydraulic systems and components. You can rely on our team to restore performance, identify underlying faults, and extend the service life of your equipment.

This article outlines the full scope of our hydraulic pump repair service and the broader hydraulic support we provide in Cape Town.


Hydraulic Pump Repairs

We repair a wide range of hydraulic pumps, including gear pumps, vane pumps, and piston pumps. These components are often at the heart of your system and can be subject to wear, contamination, or mechanical failure. We perform a full diagnostic and strip-down, inspect all internal parts, and replace or recondition what’s needed.

Our pump repair process includes:

  • Testing hydraulic performance prior to strip-down

  • Full disassembly, cleaning, and inspection

  • Precision measurement of tolerances and wear

  • Replacement of seals, shafts, and internal parts

  • Reassembly to manufacturer specifications

  • Final pressure and flow testing on our test bench

We repair pumps used in industrial machinery, marine vessels, mobile equipment, and manufacturing systems. If your hydraulic pump is running below capacity or leaking, we’ll identify the root cause and restore it to full function.


Hydraulic Cylinder Repairs

We repair both single and double-acting hydraulic cylinders. These are common in lifting equipment, presses, earthmoving machinery, and marine applications. If your cylinder is leaking, jamming, or showing signs of reduced stroke or force, we’ll assess and repair it promptly.

Our service includes:

  • Inspection for wear, scoring, or damage

  • Disassembly and internal inspection

  • Replacement or repair of rods, barrels, pistons, and seals

  • Rechroming or honing of cylinder rods where needed

  • Pressure testing to confirm performance

We handle standard and custom cylinders. If a new cylinder is needed, we can fabricate one based on your original specifications.


Hydraulic Valve Repairs

We service and repair hydraulic valves including directional control valves, pressure relief valves, flow control valves, and proportional valves. Valves play a key role in system control. Poor valve function can cause performance issues, overheating, or erratic operation.

Our hydraulic valve service includes:

  • Valve body inspection for wear and contamination

  • Reconditioning or replacing spools and seats

  • Seal and spring replacement

  • Cleaning and flow testing

  • Reassembly and calibration

We also provide valve seat lapping, machining, and resealing services. If a valve is beyond repair, we can source and supply a replacement from a wide range of brands.


Hand Pump Repairs and Servicing

Hydraulic hand pumps are still widely used in manual systems, testing rigs, and backup applications. These pumps often go unnoticed until they fail. We inspect, service, and repair hand pumps used across industrial and marine systems.

Common issues we repair include:

  • Fluid leakage

  • Reduced pressure or no output

  • Faulty seals or valves

  • Broken handles or damaged casings

We can also convert older hand pump units with modern seals and fittings to extend their life and improve performance.


Hydraulic System Servicing

Routine hydraulic servicing prevents major failures and supports system reliability. We offer scheduled maintenance and ad hoc servicing for full hydraulic systems, including:

  • Inspection and testing of pumps, motors, and valves

  • System flush and oil replacement

  • Filter inspection and replacement

  • Pressure and flow testing

  • Seal inspection and replacement

  • Leak detection and pipework inspection

We identify issues before they lead to failure and provide full service reports to support your maintenance planning.


Power Pack Repairs and Servicing

Hydraulic power packs contain multiple components that must work together under pressure. We repair and maintain compact and custom-built power packs across Cape Town. Our workshop is equipped to strip, rebuild, and test power units to ensure each component operates correctly.

Services include:

  • Pump and motor testing

  • Electrical component inspection

  • Reservoir cleaning

  • Filter and seal replacement

  • Hydraulic line inspection and repair

  • Reassembly and full system testing

We support both mobile and fixed power pack systems used across marine, industrial, and engineering environments.


Hydraulic Accessory Sales

We supply a range of hydraulic accessories to support your system maintenance and installation needs. Our stock includes:

  • Hydraulic adapters (BSP, JIC, ORFS, metric, and more)

  • Filters (inline, tank-mounted, and return)

  • Pressure gauges and test kits

  • Quick couplings and connectors

  • Mounting brackets and clamps

  • Hydraulic fluid and maintenance kits

All parts are sourced from trusted suppliers. If you need something specific, we can find it or fabricate a custom solution.


Hydraulic Equipment Sales

In addition to repairs and servicing, we supply key hydraulic equipment including:

  • Hydraulic pumps

  • Hydraulic valves

  • Hydraulic cylinders

  • Hydraulic motors

  • Pipes and hoses

  • Complete power packs

We match equipment to your system needs, whether it’s a direct replacement or a new installation. We also offer custom-built components to meet site-specific requirements.


Why Choose Our Hydraulic Pump Repair Services in Cape Town?
