Working at height is one of the most hazardous activities in the construction and industrial maintenance industries. Irrespective of whether the technician is repairing power lines or the painter is doing his painting in a skyscraper, stability is critical when operating an aerial work platform (AWP). Any lateral movement or tilt of the platform, even in bad terrain, will result in a catastrophic event. Newstar was founded way back in 1999. We are professional engineers committed to the development and manufacturing of high-precision hydraulic cylinders, servo cylinders, and gears. We understand that the most critical part of the AWP operation is…

Hydraulic pressure loss, internal leakage, or hose failure can quickly turn a routine aerial work platform operation into a serious safety hazard. Whether it is a construction site, utility maintenance project, or industrial facility operation, boom lift machines should maintain proper positioning when carrying large loads under difficult working conditions. Slight boom drifting because of leakage, pressure drops, or failures may not only jeopardize operators' safety but also result in high costs associated with maintenance costs and downtime. For OEM manufacturers and fleet owners, hydraulic cylinder selection now involves far more than lifting performance alone. For manufacturers and operators of lifting…

Slave cylinders are responsible for synchronized movement and precise platform leveling in hydraulic systems. Failure in this component could result in leaks, drifting, unusual vibrations, slow response, and even loss of control. Learning the reasons behind the failure of slave cylinders will prevent any accident, improve equipment life cycle, and reduce equipment maintenance costs. Having 20+ years of experience in researching, developing, and producing hydraulic cylinders, Newstar has successfully supplied more than 200,000 hydraulic cylinders to globally recognized manufacturers. In this guide, we'll discuss the most frequent reasons for slave cylinders' failures, the symptoms not to be overlooked, and professional approaches…
