HOUSTON — With increasing demand for higher-quality products, Hi-Force has invested in three new DMG Mori CNC machines and four Haas CNC machines and associated equipment since 2014. The decision to invest has proved to be a wise one as Hi-Force has seen a surge in orders for large cylinders, notably the recent $2 million order for the Riyadh Metro Project in Saudi Arabia for 146 500-ton cylinders and 26 1,000-ton cylinders. The order, from date of order to date of dispatch, was completed in less than 14 weeks and five 40-foot containers full of hydraulic jacking equipment were shipped to Saudi Arabia, which was made possible due to Hi-Force’s in-house manufacturing capability.
Standard capacities range from 5 tons to 1,115 tons with stroke lengths up to 18 inches. However, with the CNC machines, Hi-Force is able to extend the range of sizes and also offer a special cylinder design and manufacturing service while also ensuring reduced delivery times to its customers located in over 100 different countries.
