With a workforce of over 38 people, we have one of the largest capacities for end-to-end overhaul of Hydraulic Cylinders in Western Australia, including rod, barrel, gland, piston and clevis manufacture, and re-chroming of piston rods, shafts and pins.

Our completely in-house operation includes a multitude of plating tanks of different dimensions, with some of the largest and deepest in Australia. Our operation has everything needed to swiftly process repairs – including 8 meter centre lathe, 4 meter CNC lathe, large cylindrical grinders, horizontal borers, state of the art honing machine, automatic ID welders, and heavy craneage to handle the largest cylinders.

7 tanks of various dimensions makes Hardchrome Sales the largest-capacity hard chrome plating operation in WA with some of the largest and deepest plating tanks in the country.

Our lathes allow us to process components from 1” to 40” diameter and up to 8m long, including a high speed CNC lathe for manufacture of new piston rods and other components up to 4 meters in length.

With some of the largest cylindrical grinders supporting our production needs, our chroming department can grind piston rods up to 5 meters in length whilst also having the capacity to grind small pump shafts.

Our welding department is equipped to perform the latest welding processes, with fast accurate automatic welding machines delivering incredible clean, high quality results:

With two variable speed honing machines operating we can turn items around very quickly from the smallest diameters to the largest diameters of today’s mining and earthmoving equipment.

Our fitting shop is equipped with four heavy-duty disassembly benches, nut crackers and torque multipliers capable of dismantling the largest hydraulic cylinders, including mining excavator cylinders, luffing cylinders and blast hole drill pull-down cylinders. Our fitting shop is equipped to perform in house non-destructive testing and precision measurements, and our hydraulic test bench is configured to perform a range of test procedures up to 5000 psi.
