Hydraulic Rental Equipment Testing & Inspection Procedures
Rental equipment tested before it goes back to work
CH Bull tests hydraulic equipment after it returns from a rental and before it is placed back into the rental fleet. Our goal is to identify potential equipment issues in our shop, not on your jobsite.

How We Test Hydraulic Rental Equipment
Before equipment returns to rental service, CH Bull tests each component based on its operating requirements.
Our testing procedures include:
Why Full-Stroke Testing Matters
A hydraulic cylinder may perform normally at the beginning of its stroke but develop leakage or other issues as it travels farther. That’s why CH Bull tests cylinders under their maximum rated load throughout the full stroke, helping identify potential problems before the equipment returns to the field.
In-House Testing Up to 600 Tons
CH Bull’s South San Francisco facility is equipped to load-test hydraulic cylinders at capacities up to 600 tons.
200-Ton Test Press
Used for load testing hydraulic cylinders up to its rated capacity.
600-Ton Test Press
Provides in-house testing capability for larger, high-capacity hydraulic cylinders.
This testing capability supports rental equipment used for demanding applications including bridge jacking, structural lifting, machinery moving, pile testing, and other heavy-lifting projects.
