Restoring Performance. Reducing Downtime.

Proven Repair Solutions for Industrial Equipment

These project photos highlight our hands-on experience repairing, rebuilding, and restoring industrial components for heavy equipment, hydraulic systems, and machinery. From worn metal surfaces and damaged bores to full hydraulic cylinder repairs, each project reflects the company’s ability to extend component life, reduce costly downtime, and provide practical repair solutions when replacement is not the best option.

Thermal Spray Coatings & Metal Repair

IST manufactures, repairs, and rebuilds hydraulic cylinders for heavy equipment and industrial applications. From damaged rods and worn seals to complete cylinder rebuilds, the team provides practical repair solutions designed to restore performance, improve reliability, and help reduce equipment downtime.

A large metallic cylinder with a wide flange sits on a flat, round metal surface that has evenly spaced small holes. The flange has several holes around its edge and some scattered metal debris nearby.
A close-up of a large orange metal mechanical part, possibly a gear housing or transmission casing, with visible ball bearings and cylindrical rollers inside, resting on a workbench with tools and parts nearby.
A cylindrical metal object with a gray, matte-coated surface stands on a perforated metal table. The base has uneven, cracked coating with traces of orange underneath.
A cylindrical metal machine part with a shiny surface and a wide, round, flat base sits on a metal table. The base has multiple evenly spaced bolt holes around its edge. The background is plain.
A large metal shaft mounted on a lathe, with a gear on one end and a textured section in the middle. A gauge and metal tools are visible nearby, and the background is an industrial workshop.
A cylindrical metal shaft clamped in a machine, partially wrapped with green tape, with a red measurement instrument and cables positioned in front of it. The background is industrial and metallic.
A large, cylindrical metal shaft is lying horizontally on a concrete floor. The shaft has a polished, shiny section in the center, contrasting with the duller, worn ends.

Hydraulic Cylinder Manufacturing & Repair

IST provides thermal spray coating and metal repair services for worn, damaged, or undersized industrial components. By rebuilding metal surfaces and machining them back to specification, IST helps extend the life of shafts, bores, housings, bearing areas, and other critical parts — often saving customers the cost and downtime of full replacement.

Two large, cylindrical metal shafts with flanges are placed vertically on a wooden pallet. Each shaft has a circular base with bolt holes and an eye bolt on top. The background includes a blue wall and machinery.
A large metal shaft with a wide, circular base sits upright on a wooden pallet. The shaft appears to be part of industrial machinery, with visible machining marks and a few bolts around the base.
A large metal shaft with a flanged top is positioned vertically in front of a cardboard background. The lower part of the shaft is partially wrapped with yellow tape. Industrial equipment is visible in the background.
A metalworking lathe machine is shaping a cylindrical metal rod, with metal shavings visible around the tool, inside an industrial workshop with white and blue walls.
A large red hydraulic cylinder lies horizontally on a wooden pallet outdoors, with a stone wall in the background.
