EWP Hydraulic Services in Wollongong

Wollongong's hydraulic service environment is shaped by the Port Kembla steelmaking complex and the salt air from the Illawarra coast. Machines working the port and steelworks environment are exposed to heat radiation, scale and airborne particulate that can enter hydraulic breathers and accelerate fluid contamination, and the coastal salt reaches hose fittings and cylinder rod surfaces from the other direction. The escarpment location also means machines moving between the coastal strip and the tableland sites behind the city cycle through temperature and humidity changes that work hose materials and seal compounds through both ends of their range.

EWP Australia provides hydraulic services across the Illawarra — fluid contamination assessment at every service with specific attention to the industrial particulate that the steelworks environment generates, cylinder resealing and overhaul for machines where coastal salt has accelerated rod surface or seal wear, hose inspection and replacement, pump and load-holding valve service, and hydraulic fluid and filter changes on a schedule suited to the industrial operating environment. Pre-shutdown hydraulic preparation is available for operators wanting machines in sound condition before a Port Kembla shutdown.
