Dover Hydraulics, based in Dover, Ohio, attributes its recent growth in manufacturing custom new hydraulic cylinders to its experience in comprehensive hydraulic repair and its computerized performance tracking system.
The company's computerized Dover Automated Tracking System (DATS) is a tool that benefits customers facing decisions on their hydraulic cylinders, according to Dover Hydraulics.
"On many occasions, customers ask us to engineer a better custom new cylinder because they are experiencing repeated failures of their old cylinders," says J.C. Raies, Dover director of sales and marketing. "We use our DATS to track and analyze the causes of the failures. This history often indicates a fundamental problem that can only be resolved with a custom new cylinder."
Raies says Dover Hydraulics uses the information recorded on DATS to dictate the design of new cylinders.
"The result is Dover Hydraulics engineers improvements over the older cylinders to make them perform better and last longer," Raies says. "This fast, professional service for which we are known in our standard service work is delivered on our new custom hydraulic cylinders."
Dover says its engineers and technicians analyze breakdowns and failures, delivering engineering solutions that result in fixing root causes, not just the worn or broken parts. The company also operates a comprehensive testing center to ensure new cylinders are ready to go online in customers' operations.
Dover Hydraulics custom new cylinder experience includes steel mill melt shop regulation cylinders, custom telescopic cylinders for scrap handling mobile equipment, welded construction heavy-duty cylinders for tunnel boring machinery, and grapple cylinders for scrap machines.
Hydraulic repair, reconditioning and replacement part needs can be fulfilled through Dover Hydraulics' Ohio and St. George, S.C., locations.
