Excavator Bucket Cylinders: Curl, Crowd & Snap Without Compromise

Bucket cylinders supply the raw curling force that tears through frozen clay, snaps stubborn roots, and finishes every trench cleanly. Because they bear the brunt of each breakout and recoil, bucket cylinders see the highest pressure spikes and fastest seal wear of any cylinder on your stick. VI Equipment stocks fully dressed replacement bucket cylinders—barrel, rod, gland, bushings, pins, and grease ports—so you can bolt in a unit that restores OEM breakout torque and keeps cycle times razor-sharp.

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

Running a Deere 210G, a Hitachi ZX245, or a Cat 325? We catalogue bucket cylinders by model, serial prefix, and OEM part number so matching takes minutes, not hours. Reman cylinders are stripped, honed, fitted with new induction-hardened chrome rods, and pressure-tested for drift—delivering factory 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.

Spot Bucket-Cylinder Wear Before Breakout Force Drops

Watch for oily streaks down the barrel, rod chrome pitting where aggregate ricochets, or bucket creep greater than 5 mm/min with the engine off—telltale signs of piston-seal bypass or rod scoring. A dial-indicator reading over 0.5 mm rod run-out signals bending that will eat seals fast. Email our parts desk a photo of the cylinder tag or your bore-stroke numbers and we’ll confirm whether a reseal kit, honed barrel, or full replacement best fits your budget and uptime targets.

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

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