Industrial & Marine Hydraulics

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency marine hydraulic repairs for vessels experiencing critical failures at sea or in port. Our team is on call around the clock to support commercial fleets, yachts, and offshore operations with rapid response and expert diagnostics.

When systems like steering, lifting platforms, or stabilisers fail, time is of the essence. Our emergency vans are fully stocked with marine-grade parts, including seal kits, hydraulic oil, hoses, and fittings. We aim to attend urgent repairs within hours and resolve most issues on the first visit.

If a more complex failure requires workshop support, we’ll arrange safe removal, carry out repairs at our facility, and return fully restored components promptly. We serve marinas, docks, shipyards, and offshore vessels throughout the South Coast. With our emergency marine hydraulic repairs, you don’t need to wait for parts or book drydock space, we come to you fast and equipped. Downtime is expensive, so we’re committed to helping you minimise it with trusted, professional support whenever you need it.

Marine hydraulic systems should be serviced at least once per year, although some high-usage equipment may require servicing every six months. Our marine team recommends setting a proactive maintenance schedule tailored to your vessel's operations, system type, and environmental exposure.

Regular servicing includes checking hydraulic oil condition, seal integrity, hose wear, and pressure output. We also inspect rods, fittings, and cylinders for early signs of corrosion or fatigue. These steps help avoid unplanned breakdowns and extend the working life of critical components.

For commercial vessels and offshore platforms, we provide maintenance logs and servicing history to meet compliance standards. Leisure craft can benefit from seasonal inspections before and after long trips or winterisation. During each service, we record pressures, check for fluid contamination, and replace worn seals before they fail. Our marine hydraulic repairs Chichester technicians can customise these visits to your equipment and usage schedule.

Preventative maintenance helps avoid expensive emergency callouts and minimises the risk of failure during operation. We offer servicing contracts that provide peace of mind, priority support, and long-term cost savings. Get in touch to discuss a tailored maintenance plan for your hydraulic systems.

Hydraulic systems in marine settings face extreme conditions. The most common causes of failure include saltwater corrosion, fluid contamination, worn seals, damaged rods, and improper maintenance. Environmental factors like constant motion and fluctuating temperatures can also degrade components over time.

Yes, we offer on-site hydraulic cylinder resealing through our mobile marine hydraulic repairs. This avoids the need for vessel dry docking and helps restore performance quickly while your boat remains in the water.

Resealing involves disassembling the ram gland, removing worn seals, cleaning the internal bore and rod, inspecting for wear or pitting, and then installing new marine-grade seals. Our vans are equipped with a wide range of seals and fittings, and we often fabricate custom solutions on the spot.

If damage goes beyond standard resealing, such as bent rods or worn bores, we’ll remove the cylinder, carry out full refurbishment in our workshop, and return it promptly. Most minor jobs are completed the same day.

By resealing hydraulic cylinders on-site, we save clients time, cost, and inconvenience. From steering rams to hatch lifters, we handle all types of marine cylinders. Contact our marine team to book a reseal today or arrange an inspection of your system.

We only use high-quality, corrosion-resistant components in our marine services. These parts are designed to withstand saltwater, vibration, and extreme pressures, ensuring longer service life and improved system performance.

Common marine-grade components include stainless steel fittings, nickel-plated valves, polyurethane or Viton seals, and reinforced hoses with anti-corrosive coatings. We stock OEM and equivalent parts compatible with popular brands like Parker, Bosch Rexroth, and Eaton. Where standard parts won’t fit, we fabricate custom solutions in-house to match system specs.

Our engineers select parts based on your vessel’s environment, load requirements, and existing system design. For deck gear, winches, and cranes, we use reinforced seals and heavy-duty rams. In steering and stabiliser systems, we use precision-machined rods and low-friction guides for smooth, responsive handling.

All materials are tested for marine application, and we offer guidance on upgrading components where needed. Choosing the right parts can reduce the frequency of future repairs, lower operational costs, and ensure safe vessel performance.

Absolutely. Fault-finding is a major part of our marine service. If your system is underperforming or behaving erratically, we can run diagnostics to identify the source of the problem.

Using pressure testing tools, thermal imaging, fluid sampling, and inspection of mechanical movement, we isolate faults in rams, hoses, valves, pumps, and controllers. We also assess the condition of hydraulic oil, rod wear, and cylinder response.

Whether your steering is drifting, a hatch won’t lift, or your stabilisers are reacting slowly, we can pinpoint what’s wrong and explain your options clearly. Our goal is to restore your system efficiently, not guess and replace parts unnecessarily. Even subtle performance issues can indicate deeper wear or pressure imbalance.

We take a methodical approach to every call-out and ensure you receive a full report. Our marine engineers are experienced with all types of systems, from compact leisure setups to full-scale commercial hydraulics. We diagnose quickly, repair accurately, and get you back to safe, smooth operation fast.

Yes, we offer flexible servicing contracts through our marine support packages. These are ideal for vessel operators who want consistent performance and predictable maintenance costs.

Our service plans can be tailored to your vessel type, equipment use, and sailing schedule. Contracts typically include scheduled inspections, seal checks, oil quality assessments, pressure tests, and preventative repairs. We also monitor wear patterns to predict and prevent major failures before they occur.

Servicing contracts are popular with commercial shipping fleets, leisure yacht operators, and offshore platforms. They reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and often reduce long-term repair costs. We’ll create a digital service log for each vessel, making it easier to track past work and plan future maintenance.

Priority call-outs, discounted labour rates, and annual performance reviews are all part of the service. You can choose quarterly, bi-annual, or annual visits depending on your needs. By partnering with our marine hydraulic repairs team, you ensure expert oversight of your most critical systems. Regular maintenance doesn’t just improve reliability, it protects the safety of your vessel and crew.

We work on a wide range of vessels as part of our marine hydraulic service. These include cargo ships, fishing trawlers, tankers, offshore platforms, private yachts, sailing boats, and marine construction vessels.

Our engineers have experience across multiple sectors and vessel classes, including commercial, recreational, and industrial marine operations. Whether you operate a small pleasure craft or a 30,000-ton commercial freighter, we can provide specialist support for your hydraulic systems.

We service steering gear, deck winches, hatch lifters, davits, cranes, stabilisers, and bespoke hydraulic setups. Each job is approached with industry-standard procedures and tailored parts sourcing. We use portable diagnostic equipment for onboard visits and maintain a large inventory of marine-grade components.

If you're unsure whether we cover your vessel type, just ask, we’ve likely worked on similar systems before. Our marine team are adaptable, qualified, and equipped to handle diverse vessels across the South Coast and beyond. Whatever the vessel, we deliver the same high level of expertise and care.

Our marine hydraulic service covers a broad area across the South Coast and beyond. We regularly attend vessels in Chichester, Portsmouth, Southampton, Bognor Regis, Petersfield, Winchester, Worthing, Littlehampton, and other surrounding coastal towns.

Whether your vessel is docked in a marina, moored at a shipyard, or out at anchor, our mobile units can travel directly to you. We’re equipped for on-site diagnostics, hydraulic servicing, and emergency repairs. Offshore and coastal operations are supported with reliable scheduling, clear communication, and fast response times.

We also collect components for workshop refurbishment and return them fully tested. If you operate multiple vessels or manage a fleet, we can offer regional service contracts for planned maintenance across your sites.
