When Your Hydraulics Fail, Work Stops Immediately

Hydraulic systems rarely fail without warning.
A slow lift. A drifting ram. A pump that sounds slightly louder.
Easy to ignore at first, until the machine refuses to move and your entire day stalls.

That is where Caboolture Hydraulics steps in.
We provide specialised hydraulic repair and servicing that restores pressure, performance and safety across tractors, Bobcats, excavators, slashers, loaders and industrial machinery.

If your equipment is losing power, leaking oil, drifting under load or running hot, the smartest step is a fast diagnosis from a hydraulic expert.

Why Hydraulic Repair Matters

Hydraulic repair covers the full inspection, diagnosis, servicing and restoration of the hydraulic components that power your machinery. This service is ideal for anyone experiencing pressure loss, weak lifting, slow movement or leaking fluid.

  • Hydraulic Cylinder Repair
    Rebuilding or resealing cylinders that drift, leak or lose lifting power. We strip and inspect cylinders properly and fit new seals, rods or components where required.
  • Hydraulic Hose Repair and Replacement
    Making and fitting new hoses, checking for abrasion or pressure problems and ensuring correct routing for safety and longevity.
  • Hydraulic Pump Repair
    Diagnosing slow hydraulics, heat build up or reduced flow. Pumps are flow tested, inspected and repaired or replaced depending on the condition.
  • Hydraulic Motor Repair
    Restoring motors that run slow, vibrate or lose torque. Early repair prevents a complete seizure and expensive component replacement.
  • Hydraulic Servicing and System Testing
    Pressure tests, flow tests, cylinder bypass checks, leak detection and oil contamination assessments. Proper testing is the only way to identify the root cause instead of guessing.

Common Hydraulic Problems We Fix

Hydraulic systems tend to fail for predictable reasons, and the key is identifying the fault early before it escalates into a major breakdown. Common problems repaired include low pressure or weak lifting (often due to worn pumps, leaking seals, or internal bypassing), slow or jerky movement (which may indicate low flow, contamination, or air in the system), and hydraulic oil leaks caused by failing hoses, seals, or fittings that may worsen quickly.

Cylinders drifting under load typically signal internal seal failure with pressure bleeding internally, while overheating pumps or motors is often linked to contamination, blocked filters, or pump wear. Unexplained pressure fluctuations usually point to valve faults, pump issues, or internal leakage, and oil contamination from water, dirt, or metal fragments may damage the entire system if left untreated.

Why Hydraulic Repair Matters

A small hydraulic problem may quickly become a major one:

  • A $40 seal failure may turn into a cylinder replacement
  • A minor pump fault may become a total pump failure
  • A leaking hose may spill oil on site and stop work completely
  • Low flow may cause attachments to stall or refuse to lift
  • Heat in a motor may cause rapid internal wear

Proper hydraulic repair may save you time, money and long term machine wear.

A hydraulic issue does not fix itself.

The longer it is ignored, the more it may cost in downtime, damage and lost productivity.
