Hydraulic cylinders used in a marine environment must endure very harsh conditions and still keep operating. Marine cylinders will encounter salt spray, rain, ice, hot and cold temperatures, dirt, dust and other contaminants.

Shipboard Hydraulic Cylinders require special design and materials of construction to endure the harsh environment.

This requires special design and special materials of construction. Hyco Canada builds marine grade hydraulic cylinders that are able to endure 200 hour  or higher salt spray tests. We can build cylinders with stainless steel piston rods or, if needed, cylinders with all stainless steel construction. Our marine grade hydraulic cylinders are epoxy painted to resist corrosion.

Whether it is onboard a ship or an offshore oil rig, on a harbour luffing crane unloading containers, or on a fresh water ferry, Hyco Canada builds high quality marine grade hydraulic actuators that will give years of trouble free service.
