Innovation-Backed Hydraulics Cylinders for Impactful Waste Management

Producing high-quality hydraulic cylinders requires precise engineering and know-how, and the waste management industry requires products to operate in harsh environments where contamination, high temperatures, corrosion, and abrasion occur. However, most businesses fail to procure reliable hydraulic cylinders that match waste industry specifications due to the vendor landscape where providers offer the same basic solutions.



A proven manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders, Mailhot Industries addresses this gap through its line of hydraulic cylinders, including single-stage and telescopic models backed by innovative technologies. Since its inception in 1956, Mailhot Industries has proven its competence in producing superior hydraulic cylinders and earned a reputation for technological differentiation, quality, and durability for many applications across various industries.

The core reason for Mailhot Industries cylinders durability is its in-house process of salt bath nitriding, which modifies the steel to improve wear, corrosion, and fatigue resistance. The process also provides superior surface hardness, preventing scratches and a low coefficient of friction, thus extending the service life of components. This unrivaled competency enables Mailhot Industries to offer the best warranties across all its products.

Another key differentiator of Mailhot Industries is its Innovation Center, which focuses on developing and adapting cutting edge technologies to hydraulic components. A dedicated team of engineers and technicians transform ideas into projects, paving the way for patented technologies that make a difference in the performance in the field. The in-house lab is equipped with custom developed test benches, that can replicate real-life conditions of contamination, extreme temperatures, high sideload, or high cycles applications.
“We’re known for our warranty and after-sale services, which are not just a part of our high-quality products, but something that differentiates Mailhot Industries from the competition, and we’re very proud of that,” says Joyce El Helou, VP of revenue and growth, Mailhot Industries.

Its R series cylinders are designed to withstand the harsh environment of the waste industry. To perform in this environment, Mailhot Industries offers a patented gland equipped with its shaver technology. This, coupled with optimized sealing technologies, prevent contamination from entering the hydraulic system, leading to leakage, and causing severe damage. The shaver acts as a robust barrier to foreign objects entering the cylinder while preventing hydraulic fluid contamination.

Recently, Mailhot assisted a customer based out of one of the U.S.’ warmest regions in searching for sustainable cylinders for garbage truck applications. Initially, their cylinders could not withstand a particular set of high cycle and high temperature operating parameters. For this project, Mailhot proposed cylinders with its recently patented CX-1 technology, a surface technology which significantly outlasts existing technologies and allowed the waste management business to minimize equipment-related disruptions. Success stories like this exemplify Mailhot Industries’ experience and ability to provide precise, high-quality, and robust solutions through its unmatched R&D capabilities.

Moving forward, Mailhot Industries will continue to incorporate customer needs into its product development and deliver solutions that can provide a true value proposition for its clientele across various markets.
