Why Shop VI Equipment for Your Excavator Arm Cylinders

There are many reasons to choose VI Equipment for your excavator arm cylinders. We offer exceptional value, unmatched selection, and reliable performance to keep your projects on track. Discover the VI Equipment difference and experience the benefits firsthand.

Excavator Arm Cylinders: Powering Reach, Crowd & Breakout

Arm cylinders—also called crowd cylinders—sit between your boom and bucket linkage, driving the reach and pull-back force that slices through dense clay, bottles up boulders, and keeps the trench wall crisp. Because every bucket load cycles through the arm cylinder, chrome rods see constant side-thrust and piston seals battle peak system pressure on every stroke. VI Equipment stocks fully dressed replacement arm cylinders—barrel, rod, gland, bushings, pins, and grease zerts—so you can bolt in a unit that restores factory breakout power and keeps cycle times tight.

Reman & Brand-New Arm Cylinders for John Deere, Hitachi & Caterpillar

Running a Deere 210G, a Hitachi ZX245, or a Cat 325? We catalogue arm cylinders by model, serial prefix, and OEM part number so matching takes minutes, not hours. Reman cylinders are stripped, honed, fitted with new hard-chromed rods, and pressure-tested for drift—delivering OEM performance at roughly 60 % of dealer cost. Prefer brand-new? Our premium aftermarket line is forged from 42CrMo alloy steel, uses high-density piston and wiper seals rated to –40 °C, and ships with a 12-month unlimited-hour warranty.

Spotting Arm-Cylinder Wear Before Productivity Slips

Watch for boom-down creep when the engine is off, oily streaks on the barrel, or chrome rod pitting where abrasive grit sandpapers the surface. Measure drift: more than 5 mm/min points to piston-seal bypass, while rod run-out over 0.5 mm accelerates side-load wear and leaks. Email us a photo of the cylinder tag or your bore-stroke numbers and our parts desk will confirm the closest match—or advise whether a reseal kit and hone will get you back on grade for less.

In-House Arm-Cylinder Rebuilds: 48-Hour Turnaround

Our Langley cylinder shop reclaims most arm cylinders in just two business days. We hone barrels to <0.15 µm Ra, straighten or replace bent rods, machine custom bronze bushings, and install premium Parker or NOK seal kits. Every rebuild is pressure-tested to 5 % above factory spec and stamped with a service ID for traceable maintenance records. Customers typically see 4 000–5 000 additional operating hours—often for less than half the cost of a brand-new cylinder.
