Excavator Crowd Cylinders: Precision Force for Reach, Crowd & Breakout

Crowd cylinders control the fore-and-aft “crowd” movement that drives your bucket into material and pulls it free. Because they see constant high-pressure cycles—crowding into gravel beds, tearing through roots, and cocking back under load—crowd cylinders endure extreme axial stress and rapid seal wear. VI Equipment stocks a full line of OEM-matched and premium aftermarket crowd cylinders—complete with barrel, rod, gland, bushings, pins, and grease fittings—so you can bolt in a unit that restores factory breakout force and keeps cycle times tight.

OEM-Matched & High-Performance Crowd Cylinders for John Deere, Hitachi & Caterpillar

Whether you run a Deere 210G on site prep, a Hitachi ZX245 on trenching, or a Cat 320 on rock excavation, we catalogue crowd cylinders by model, serial prefix, and OEM part number for exact-fit replacements. Remanufactured units are stripped, honed to <0.15 µm Ra, fitted with induction-hardened chrome rods, and pressure-tested for drift—delivering factory specs at roughly 60 % of new-dealer cost. Brand-new aftermarket cylinders are forged from 42CrMo alloy steel, use high-density seals rated to –40 °C, and ship with a 12-month unlimited-hour warranty.

Spotting Crowd-Cylinder Wear Before It Drains Productivity

Keep an eye out for oily streaks on the barrel, chrome pitting where grit chips the rod, or engine-off crowd creep exceeding 5 mm/min—classic signs of piston-seal bypass. Measure rod run-out with a dial indicator; anything over 0.5 mm accelerates side-load wear and leaks. Check case-drain flow: rates above 10 % of rated displacement confirm internal leakage. Email our parts desk your bore-stroke specs or a photo of the cylinder tag, and we’ll confirm whether a reseal kit, barrel hone, or full replacement best suits your uptime and budget.

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

Our Langley cylinder shop reclaims most crowd cylinders in two business days. We hone barrels, machine custom bronze bushings, replace or straighten rods, and install premium Parker or NOK seal kits. Each cylinder is pressure-tested to 5 % above factory spec and serialized for traceable maintenance records. Contractors typically gain an additional 4 000–5 000 operating hours—often for less than half the cost of a new unit.
