When you look for new hydraulic cylinders, there are some things you should think about when you open a dialogue with a potential supplier. If you are looking for replacement parts, or need to have whole cylinders replaced, be aware that all hydraulic cylinders are not created equal. Like any motor, a hydraulic cylinder is assembled by hand, and needs to be tested before use. If your supplier can't tell you who tested the cylinder you're buying, you may want to stop and consider a few things.

In many cases the hydraulic cylinders you need for a project simply won't be available in a standard size. This means that you will have to have your cylinders fabricated.
