We don’t just call it ‘hydraulic cylinder repair’.
We call it ‘Recylindering by Hoven’.
Fast, cost-effective & manufacturer-independent
Hydraulic cylinder
repairs by specialists
Our aim has always been, and remains, nothing more and nothing less than to offer a new dimension in the reconditioning of hydraulic cylinders. This is because repairing an existing specialist hydraulic cylinder is often the most cost-effective way of getting the cylinder back into service.
Under the name ‘Recylindering’, Hoven Hydraulik offers a comprehensive repair service for hydraulic cylinders and other hydraulic components, such as valve blocks and power units. We carry out repairs, servicing and refurbishment on all Hoven hydraulic cylinders and other components, regardless of their year of manufacture. That is why you can still rely on our service for your Hoven product, even after 25 years.
