Bespoke Cylinders

LET APPROVED HYDRAULICS TAKE THE PRESSURE.

Approved Hydraulics specialises in the design and manufacture of bespoke hydraulic cylinders for a broad range of applications and industries, including construction, demolition, food processing, recycling and more.

Through our partnerships with leading global cylinder manufacturers, we are able to produce cylinders with bores up to 800 mm and lengths of up to 8 metres, with larger sizes available upon request.

Our in-house engineering team is fully trained and equipped to support you throughout the entire process, whether you require assistance with an existing design, a new concept, or modifications to enhance the performance of your current cylinders.

Built exactly for your application

Using the latest engineering and manufacturing technologies, each cylinder is configured to your specific requirements for stroke length, bore size, mounting style, operating pressure, pre-mounted valve integration, and environmental conditions—including high temperatures, corrosion, contamination, and subsea operation.
