FAQs

Match capacity to the work. For automotive and light-vehicle work — bearing pressing, bushing removal, ball-joint refit — a 10-20 tonne press handles most jobs. For commercial vehicles and plant — heavier bushings, suspension components, drive-shaft work — a 30-50 tonne press is the standard. For the largest agricultural and heavy-plant components, presses above 50 tonnes are available. Capacity is listed on every press product page along with the working bed dimensions.

Yes. Replacement seal kits, ram repair kits, hydraulic hoses, quick-couplers, and pump rebuild parts are available for the majority of Sykes Pickavant hydraulic equipment. Hand-pump valve assemblies and pressure-release valves are also available. Search by the model code stamped on the unit. If your model is not listed, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the code and a photograph and we will confirm parts availability.

A single-acting cylinder uses hydraulic pressure to extend the ram and a return spring (or gravity) to retract it — simpler, cheaper, and used for press applications where the load returns the ram. A double-acting cylinder uses hydraulic pressure on both ends, allowing controlled extension and retraction — used for lifting, pushing-and-pulling applications, and where the ram needs to retract under load. Single-acting is the workshop default for presses and pullers; double-acting is standard for lifting and field hydraulic work.

Match the pump's maximum pressure rating to the cylinder's working pressure (typically both at 700 bar / 10,000 PSI for industrial hydraulic kit). Pump displacement per stroke determines how many strokes are needed to fill and extend the cylinder — high-flow pumps move large cylinders faster but require more effort per stroke. Air-over-hydraulic pumps (powered from shop air) reduce the manual effort and are the standard for high-cycle workshop use; hand pumps are kept for portable and field applications.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you. For parts that don't fit your machine, the Fit Guarantee covers a hassle-free return at no cost. For buyer's remorse — you've changed your mind or ordered the wrong item, email us first to obtain a Return Merchandise Number; a restocking fee may apply. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and 'Check where we deliver' confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.

Hydraulic Equipment

Hydraulic Equipment covers the workshop hydraulic tools used in vehicle and plant repair — the floor presses, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic pumps, and pulling equipment that apply controlled high force to remove bearings, refit press-fit components, straighten panels, and break apart seized assemblies. Parts For Machines supplies hydraulic workshop equipment for trade and professional use. Within Hydraulic Equipment you will find Hydraulic Floor Press (workshop presses ranging from 10-tonne bench-top units up to 50+ tonne floor-standing presses), Hydraulic Cylinders (single- and double-acting cylinders for press, lift, and pull applications), and Hydraulic Pumps (manual hand pumps and air-over-hydraulic pumps that drive cylinders and pullers). The category sits alongside Engine & Transmission Repairs and Tyre, Wheel & Suspension Repairs, where many of these tools see daily use. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Sykes Pickavant for hydraulic workshop equipment. Sykes Pickavant is a specialist UK automotive-tools brand with a strong line in hydraulic pullers, cylinders, and press accessories used in heavy-vehicle and plant repair. Buyer language reaching this section confirms the practical use: "hydraulic", "ram", "hydraulic puller", "hydraulic pump" are the dominant on-site search terms — buyers reach this category sourcing the working part of an existing tool (a replacement ram, a new pump, a cylinder service kit) more often than buying a complete new press. Product pages list rated capacity in tonnes (for presses and cylinders), maximum operating pressure (typically 700 bar / 10,000 PSI for high-force hydraulic tools), stroke length (for cylinders), and pump displacement per stroke (for hand pumps). Match equipment to the working force needed and the pressure rating of the system — over-pressuring a low-pressure cylinder can rupture seals. Trade pricing on multi-unit orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 for a quote.
