Wastequip-Galbreath Cylinders & Replacements

Replacement hydraulic cylinders for Wastequip-Galbreath compactors and roll-off hoists. OEM-equivalent specs matched to original Wastequip and Galbreath cylinders. Drop-in for the WQ and Galbreath compactor and roll-off product lines.

What this page covers

Galbreath is one of the longest-running compactor and roll-off hoist brands in North American waste service. Now part of Wastequip, the Galbreath product line covers stationary compactors, self-contained compactors, and roll-off truck hoists — all using hydraulic cylinders that share common design ancestry but differ in spec by application.

PRT stocks OEM-equivalent replacement cylinders for the WQ-Galbreath compactor and hoist lines. The most-replaced are the ram cylinders on Galbreath stationary compactors and the hoist cylinders on Galbreath roll-off trucks.

How to choose

Identify the cylinder by Galbreath product (stationary compactor, self-contained, roll-off hoist) and the OEM cylinder part number. Different product lines use different cylinder specs even within the Galbreath family.

Send PRT the Galbreath model and the existing cylinder's OEM part number — we'll confirm a direct equivalent or recommend a current-production replacement for discontinued OEM cylinders.

Frequently asked questions

Are Wastequip and Galbreath cylinders the same?

Galbreath is now a Wastequip brand. Older cylinders may be labeled 'Galbreath' only; newer ones often carry both names. The specs are consistent across the labeling change.

Do PRT WQ-Galbreath cylinders fit older Galbreath compactors?

Yes. PRT supplies replacement cylinders for legacy Galbreath models going back 20+ years. Provide the Galbreath model number and we'll match the cylinder spec.

Can I use a Galbreath roll-off hoist cylinder on a Galbreath compactor?

No. The bore, stroke, and pressure ratings are different — compactor ram cylinders see higher cyclic pressure; roll-off hoist cylinders see higher peak loads. Not interchangeable.

Do PRT Galbreath cylinders come with seal kits?

Cylinders ship complete with seals installed. Separate seal kits are also available for rebuild work on existing cylinders.
