Leaking Hydraulic Truck

[DRD]

I have the heavy duty scissor lift truck with the fixed handle. Quite a few years old but looks like the model below.

The damned thing leaks oil. Maybe only a drop a fortnight or so.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to get something like this fixed please ? Are there hydraulic/ shock absorber refurb folk that might do this sort of thing ?

Thank you

I would imagine it just needs a seal kit for the cylinder, but not sure what companies around your area will do that.

Motorcycle hydraulic lifts are a 1/4 of that price.

I contacted the manufacturer Clarke/ Machinemart and my 2010 unit was no longer supported by them. No spares, no replacement cylinder .....

Thanks to @Stags6969 I went to a local hydraulic repair place. They fixed it for £114 inc VAT and said that it had required 2h labour to do the job.

Fingers crossed the repair holds as these trucks are ridiculously expensive nowadays, but are still cheaper than a new back
