Frequently Asked Questions
Do JCB cylinder repairs take longer compared to other brands?
Repair times vary based on several factors, including parts availability and our current workload. However, you can always count on our team to work as efficiently as possible while delivering reliable, high-quality service. Each situation is different and we’ll always keep you in the loop.
What is the expected lifespan of a repaired JCB cylinder?
While we strive for long-lasting repairs, all hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders naturally wear over time. The lifespan of a repaired cylinder depends on several factors: operating conditions, usage intensity, and the presence of contaminants, extreme temperatures, or poor fluid quality. These conditions can accelerate seal wear and potentially shorten the cylinder's lifespan.
How can I tell if a JCB cylinder is failing?
Keep an eye out for these common signs of a failing cylinder: contaminated oil or air, unexpected leaks, damaged seals or bent rods, slower cycle times, and reduced speed or productivity. Often, efficiency losses develop gradually, so it's important to be aware of early warning signs and address them right away.
What is the recommended interval for replacing hydraulic fluid in JCB equipment?
JCB recommends changing the hydraulic fluid every 2,000 operating hours or every two years, whichever comes first. However, if your equipment operates in harsh conditions, you may need to change the fluid more frequently.
What type of hydraulic fluid is recommended for JCB machinery?
JCB recommends using its own brand of hydraulic fluid for optimal performance and protection. If their brand isn't available, any alternative that meets the JCB HP46 specification is a suitable choice.
