Why Shop VI Equipment for Your Excavator Stick Cylinders

There are many reasons to choose VI Equipment for your excavator stick 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 Stick Cylinders: Mid-Arm Muscle That Makes the Bucket Bite

Stick cylinders (sometimes called arm cylinders) sit between the boom and the bucket linkage, translating hydraulic pressure into the reach, crowd, and breakout force that let your machine tear through dense clay or shake free a stubborn boulder. Because the stick cylinder often runs at the highest duty cycle on the excavator—crowding every bucket, every pass—it endures extreme axial loads, side thrust, and temperature swings. VI Equipment stocks a broad inventory of premium rebuilt and brand-new stick cylinders that match OEM pressure ratings, rod coatings, and port threads, so you can restore full digging power and keep cycle times tight.

OEM-Matched & High-Performance Aftermarket Stick Cylinders

Running a Deere 135G on utility trenching, a Hitachi ZX245 on roadwork, or a Cat 325 in hard-rock mining? We catalogue stick cylinders by model, serial range, and pin centre dimensions, so you can cross-reference in minutes. Our rebuilt units are stripped, honed, fit with new hard-chromed rods, and pressure-tested for drift—delivering OEM performance at roughly 60 % of dealer cost. Prefer brand-new? Our aftermarket line is forged from 42CrMo alloy steel, uses high-density piston seals, and comes with a 12-month warranty that covers aggressive rock and frost conditions.

Spotting Stick Cylinder Wear Before It Eats Your Productivity

Watch for tell-tale signs: oily streaks on the barrel, chrome pitting on the rod, or boom-down creep of more than 5 mm/min with the engine off. Use a pressure gauge to confirm rated relief pressure—low readings can point to internal piston seal bypass. Measure rod straightness with a dial indicator; a 0.5 mm bend amplifies side-load wear and accelerates seal failure. Email us your bore and stroke specs (or just the part number stamped on the gland) and our parts team will confirm an exact match or walk you through a cost-benefit rebuild versus replace decision.

In-House Stick Cylinder Rebuilds: 48-Hour Turnaround in BC

Our Langley cylinder shop can reclaim most stick cylinders in two working days. We hone barrels to <0.15 µm Ra, machine custom bushings, and install premium Parker or NOK seal kits rated to -40 °C. If your rod is scored or bent, we fabricate a new induction-hardened, chrome-plated rod on site. Every rebuild is pressure-tested to 5 % above factory spec and stamped with a service ID so future maintenance is traceable. Customers typically gain an additional 4,000–5,000 operating hours—often for less than half the cost of a new cylinder.
