OUR STORY
Don Welch founded Rochester Hydraulic in 1974 as a hydraulic jack shop. In 1993, the company was reorganized as Cylinder Services, Inc. under the co-ownership of Don, Scot Anderson and Marty Lathan. Together they were determined to bring a higher level of quality and service to hydraulic cylinder and pump service in the Rochester area. The company began to expand rapidly and in 1995 moved to its present 12,000 sq. ft. location on Rochester's west side. The three owners are in the shop every day making sure our customers receive the best service possible. Business has more than tripled and Cylinder Services is widely recognized as one of the premier hydraulic shops in Western New York.

Scot Anderson, our Service Manager, was trained as an aircraft mechanic and began rebuilding hydraulic cylinders in 1984. His years of cylinder service have made him one of the most knowledgeable hydraulic men in the area.

Marty Lathan, our Machine Shop Manager, was trained was a machinist in the early 1980's and has been making precision parts for hydraulic equipment since 1988. His quality conscious shop turns out the best fitting parts possible.

In 1996 Cylinder Services became a stocking distributor for Prince Manufacturing, a large midwestern manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders, pumps, motors, and valves. We have since become a trusted supplier of hydraulics to many companies in our area. Contractors, municipalities, refuse haulers, industrial manufacturers, mines and quarries, as well as a number of other hydraulic shops and equipment dealers have come to depend on Cylinder Services for hydraulic components and support.
