Bailey Hydraulics: Cylinders, Pumps & Controls by Bailey International

Bailey International is a hydraulic component manufacturer and distributor founded in 1976 and headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, with manufacturing and distribution operations in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Montreal and Victoria, Canada; and Chennai, India. The company was acquired by EBSCO Industries in 2019 and remains active, building hydraulic cylinders, pumps, motors, valves, manifolds, power units, hose assemblies, and electronic control systems for construction, agriculture, transportation, and industrial equipment. Northern Hydraulics supplies Bailey International components and electronic controls across the Chief, Maxim, Hydro Custom, Sure Grip Controls, and Hydrolico lines, and cross-references discontinued cylinders and pumps to current equivalents.

Bailey International Product Lines & Series

Bailey International organizes its catalog into five named brands, each spanning multiple cylinder and component families. Our deepest Bailey coverage is in hydraulic cylinders, where roughly 812 of about 820 Bailey SKUs sit:

• Chief – the flagship line covering hydraulic cylinders (tie-rod, welded, telescopic, snowplow, and clevis models), two-stage, PTO, and manual pumps, valves, motors, and power units.
• Maxim – the value line of cylinders, motors, and power units, including the WC welded clevis, WT welded cross tube, WSB swivel-ball, TC tie-rod, top link, snowplow, and telescopic series.
• Hydro Custom – customizable cylinder and motor series for equipment-specific builds.
• Hydrolico – tie-rod hydraulic cylinders (TR model numbers), pneumatic actuators, and valves.
• Sure Grip Controls – electronic joysticks, handles, and thumb controls across the Elevate, Harvest, Precision, Demand, and Endurance lines.

By mount style, the largest Bailey families we stock are welded cross-tube cylinders and tie rod cylinders, followed by clevis-mount welded cylinders and ag clevis welded cylinders. We also carry Bailey snowplow cylinders and two-stage hydraulic pumps for log splitters and PTO drives.

Cross-Referencing Bailey International Parts

Bailey’s Chief and Maxim lines were built as cost-effective replacements for legacy and competitor cylinder brands, which makes them a practical interchange when an original mobile-hydraulic cylinder or pump is discontinued. If you have a worn or obsolete cylinder, give us the bore, stroke, rod diameter, port size, and mount style, and we will match it to a current Chief, Maxim, Hydro Custom, or Hydrolico equivalent. Exact part-number compatibility on older Bailey, OEM, and competitor units often requires a dimensional review rather than a published table, so send the failed part details and we will confirm the correct replacement. Request a Bailey International cross-reference quote to identify the right equivalent for your equipment.
