that you put on a hydraulic cylinder
rod to make it stand up and last lon-
ger,” says Rob Tebb. An intricate part
of the mining industry, every piece of
mining equipment has up to 30 hy-
draulic cylinders on it, working in very
corrosive conditions (underground,
with dust, salt, water), which take
away from their life span.
“We focus on extending the life of the
hydraulic cylinder, which is where we
got the company name, Xtended,” con-
tinues Tebb. “We are capable of doing
almost anything in terms of machine
fabrication, but because we’ve focused
on this one specific area, it has made us
very good at what we do and our qual-
ity exceeds what is the norm.”
