🔧 Understanding Hydraulic Ram Repairs & Hose Services
Hydraulic systems play a critical role in modern machinery, from agricultural equipment and construction plant to transport, manufacturing, and industrial operations. When a hydraulic component fails, the result is often downtime, lost productivity, and unnecessary stress. Understanding how hydraulic systems work — and how issues are diagnosed and repaired — can help equipment owners make faster, more informed decisions when something goes wrong.
At Wallace Heron, we provide complete hydraulic repair and hose services, supporting customers who rely on dependable machinery to keep their operations running.
How hydraulic systems work
Hydraulic systems use pressurised fluid to transfer force and movement. This allows machines to lift heavy loads, apply controlled force, and operate with precision. Core components typically include hydraulic hoses, fittings, rams (also known as cylinders), seals, pumps, and valves. When these components are in good condition, the system operates efficiently and safely.
Over time, however, wear and tear is unavoidable. Seals degrade, hoses fatigue, fittings loosen, and contamination can enter the system. Identifying issues early and repairing them correctly is essential to extending the life of hydraulic equipment.
Common hydraulic problems we see
Many customers bring in machinery experiencing issues such as oil leaks, slow or uneven movement, loss of pressure, or complete system failure. These problems are often caused by worn hydraulic seals, damaged hoses, or failing fittings.
Hydraulic ram seals, in particular, are a common wear item. When seals fail, fluid bypasses internally or leaks externally, reducing performance and increasing the risk of further damage. Left unattended, a minor seal issue can quickly escalate into a more costly repair.
Our hydraulic repair process
When you bring a hydraulic job to Wallace Heron, our experienced technicians assess the issue methodically. Hydraulic rams are stripped, inspected, and measured to ensure the correct seals are selected. We carry a large range of hydraulic ram seals in store, allowing many repairs to be completed quickly without waiting on parts.
Rams are then rebuilt and resealed to restore proper function, pressure, and reliability. This process helps extend the working life of the component and reduces the likelihood of repeat failures.
Where components require accurate measurement or inspection, our Precision Machining capability supports hydraulic repairs by ensuring correct tolerances before reassembly.
Hose and fittings made while you wait
Hydraulic hose failures are another major cause of downtime. As an authorised ENZED agent, Wallace Heron provides hydraulic hose manufacturing and replacement services, with hoses made while you wait in many cases.
Using quality ENZED hoses and Parker fittings, we ensure each hose assembly is built to suit the application, pressure rating, and operating environment. Correct hose selection and assembly is critical for safety, performance, and longevity — particularly in demanding agricultural and industrial conditions.
Why quality fittings and expertise matter
Not all hydraulic components are created equal. Using trusted brands such as Parker fittings ensures reliability under pressure and reduces the risk of premature failure. Just as important is correct installation. Improperly fitted hoses or seals can lead to leaks, pressure loss, and safety hazards.
Our team works with contractors, farmers, fleet operators, and industrial customers who need practical, no-nonsense solutions. Whether it’s a simple hose replacement or a full hydraulic ram repair, the focus is always on minimising downtime and getting equipment back into service as quickly as possible.
In cases where damaged components, mounts, or brackets are involved, our in-house Welding & Fabrication services allow supporting repairs to be completed efficiently
Bring your hydraulic jobs to Wallace Heron
If you’re experiencing hydraulic issues — whether it’s leaking oil, reduced performance, or a failed hose — bringing the job to a dedicated workshop can save time and money in the long run. Early inspection and professional repair help prevent further damage and keep machinery operating safely and efficiently.
Wallace Heron’s workshop is equipped to handle a wide range of hydraulic repairs and servicing needs. With seals in stock, hoses made in the shop, and experienced technicians on hand, we provide a reliable local solution for hydraulic maintenance and repairs.
Where required, custom guards, covers, or supporting components can also be produced through our Sheet Metal Work services, keeping repairs practical and fit for purpose.
Hydraulic Repairs – Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Do you offer mobile hydraulic repairs or on-site service?
All hydraulic repairs are carried out in-store at Wallace Heron. We are not a mobile service. Bringing your hydraulic rams, hoses, or components into our workshop allows us to assess, repair, and rebuild them properly using the correct tools, seals, and fittings.
How do I know if my hydraulic ram needs resealing?
Common signs include oil leaks, reduced lifting power, uneven movement, or fluid bypass. Early repair helps prevent further damage.
Can you make hydraulic hoses while I wait?
Yes. As an authorised ENZED agent, we manufacture many hydraulic hoses on site, helping minimise downtime.
Do you stock hydraulic seals and fittings?
We carry a large range of hydraulic ram seals in store, along with Parker fittings and ENZED hose components.
What types of customers do you work with?
We support contractors, farmers, fleet operators, and industrial customers who rely on dependable hydraulic systems.
