Forklift hydraulic pump inspection, troubleshooting, repair, rebuilding and performance testing for different hydraulic pump systems.
Comprehensive diagnostic, rebuilding, and calibration services for Forklifts & Reach Trucks:
Detailed physical examination, micrometer tolerance checking, and crack detection of pump housing, shafts, and rotating parts.
Complete reconditioning, precision surface micro-lapping, and installation of genuine OEM replacement rotating groups.
Computerized load bench testing up to 400 Bar to verify flow rate, pressure holding capacity, and volumetric efficiency.
Replacement of worn pistons, cylinder blocks, swashplates, valve plates, bearings, bushes, and high-pressure Viton seals.
Systematic diagnostic investigation of cavitation noise, pressure loss, overheating, and erratic hydraulic response.
Field installation support, system flushing guidance, and final operational performance testing on target machinery.
We don't just replace parts—we execute a complete engineering overhaul to restore your Forklift hydraulic pump to factory performance standards.
Our workshop is equipped with high-precision surface lapping machines, micrometer tolerance audit tools, and a computerized hydraulic test rig capable of generating up to 400 Bar continuous working pressure.
Our structured technical procedure includes: Initial pump inspection → Fault diagnosis → Pressure testing → Complete disassembly → Internal component inspection → Damaged component replacement → Reassembly → Bench testing → Final installation support.
Note: Possible causes presented below represent initial diagnostic possibilities to be confirmed during physical inspection.
| Problem | Possible Diagnostic Reason |
|---|---|
| Low hydraulic pressure | Pump internal wear / control valve issue / worn valve plate |
| Pump not building pressure | Internal leakage across pistons / stuck relief spool / control fault |
| Slow Forklift movement | Low volumetric flow rate / worn rotating group / pump displacement issue |
| Excessive noise | Aeration / fluid cavitation / worn piston slippers or swashplate cradle |
| Oil leakage | Shaft seal failure / flange gasket degradation / cracked pump housing |
| Pump overheating | Severe internal fluid bypass / oil degradation / cooling failure |
| Pressure fluctuation | Swashplate control system wear / fluctuating relief valve response |
| Excessive vibration | Mechanical bearing wear / shaft misalignment / loose internal components |
If your Forklift is exhibiting any of the following operational symptoms, prompt hydraulic pump inspection is recommended to prevent catastrophic mechanical failure:
Operating a machine with internal pump slippage damages hydraulic cylinders and control valves through metal particle contamination.

Every component undergoes strict dimensional and wear analysis:
A systematic 10-step process ensuring total reliability and performance:
Visual and physical evaluation of pump external condition, shaft rotation, and oil contamination status.
Diagnostic check of operating pressure, volumetric output, and internal bypass rate.
Safe removal of the hydraulic pump assembly from the target machinery with port capping.
Complete teardown of pump casing, valve block, regulator, and rotating group in clean workshop environment.
Micrometer measurement of pistons, cylinder bores, swashplate curvature, and shaft splines against factory limits.
Micro-lapping of port faces and replacement of worn parts with genuine OEM components.
Precision reassembly of rotating groups, bearings, and Viton seal kits according to torque specifications.
Full load dynamic test bench validation up to 400 Bar to verify pressure holding and volumetric efficiency.
Re-installation on the machinery, line bleeding, and initial system oil flushing guidance.
Final operational verification under actual field load conditions to guarantee 100% machine productivity.
Interactive troubleshooting guide for common hydraulic operational issues:
Internal fluid bypassing across worn valve plates, damaged swashplate cradle, or miscalibrated pressure relief valve.
Perform a flow meter test under load, check relief valve pressure setting, inspect suction filter for metal particles.
Sheared pump drive shaft, broken coupling, stuck regulator spool, or completely worn rotating assembly.
Inspect drive input rotation, measure pilot charge pump pressure, and check for severe internal pump seizure.
Air suction entry, clogged suction strainer, low hydraulic oil level, or worn piston slipper feet.
Tighten suction line fittings, check hydraulic fluid viscosity, and inspect piston slippers for detachment.
Hardened shaft oil seal, blown casing O-ring gasket, or excessive case drain pressure.
Check shaft seal lip wear, measure internal case drain pressure, and replace housing Viton seals.
Every repaired hydraulic pump undergoes full dynamic testing on our state-of-the-art 400 Bar computer-monitored hydraulic test bench before delivery.
Testing continuous working pressure up to 400 Bar to verify seal integrity.
Measuring exact GPM/LPM flow output across varying engine RPM levels.
Measuring case drain leakage to guarantee 95%+ volumetric efficiency.
Thermal monitoring during sustained 60-minute full load operating runs.
We issue a computerized test report showing pressure holding, flow output curve, and temperature logs with every dispatch.
Call Testing FacilityFinal decision is made after physical inspection—definitive diagnosis without inspection is avoided.
Specific repairable component problem (e.g. worn shaft seal, minor valve plate scoring, or single cartridge failure).
Multiple worn internal components (pistons, cylinder block, swashplate, bearings) while pump casing remains intact.
Severe housing body cracks, catastrophic mechanical destruction, or uneconomical repair costs exceeding new unit price.
