Downard Hydraulics was established in 1975 for the purpose of manufacturing and rebuilding industrial hydraulic equipment.  D.E. Downard, the founder, has had considerable experience in manufacturing and rebuilding hydraulic components and systems going back to 1960 and has established an excellent reputation for quality and service. Although most of our business is in manufacturing and rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, we also manufacture related equipment, up to and including the design and manufacture of complete systems.
Our Princeton plant operates around the clock on weekdays, and we maintain a fleet of trucks for quick pick-up and delivery service in emergencies.
We will also work around the clock on weekends (at extra cost of course) if necessary.

We have a modern, state-of-the-art facility with the equipment to do virtually all work in house, including chrome plating, quickly and economically. Our chrome is far superior to repair shop chrome, and we can consistently plate to hardness of 60 Rockwell C and above. One hundred percent (100%) of the units passing through our shop are dynamically load tested at or beyond maximum load as appropriate, and the performance of each unit is logged for future reference.

All methods, materials, etc., used are chosen and/or approved by our experienced Engineering Department, which is headed by a Registered Professional Engineer, giving you further assurance that the job will be done right. Our rebuilds are the most cost effective available, based on over 30 years of observations and record keeping.
