From the sticky tar sands of Alberta and the frozen wind swept waste lands of Alaska to arid sun bleached Texas and the sizzling hot deserts of Saudi Arabia; from the warmth of the Gulf of Mexico to the cold salt spray of the North Sea, Hyco hydraulic cylinders are the actuators of choice in the grueling oil field industry both on shore and off shore. Oil rigs are located in some of the most demanding locations in the world. Blowing sand, sticky tar, extremes of hot and cold temperature, corrosive elements, and heavy duty use. The cylinders used are often large bore and long stroke. Downtime is measured in millions of dollars. In addition to all that, the equipment is often located in remote areas far from civilization. Rugged, reliable cylinders are a must. Hyco designs and builds heavy duty hydraulic cylinders, both rod style and telescopic, to withstand the tough conditions and demanding requirements of the petroleum industry. |
