Maxim Hydraulic Cylinders by Bailey International

Bailey International is a hydraulics manufacturer and distributor founded in 1976 and headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, with manufacturing and distribution operations in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Montreal, Quebec; Victoria, British Columbia; and Chennai, India. Acquired by EBSCO Industries in 2019, Bailey remains an active integrated manufacturer that designs, builds, and distributes 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 hydraulic components and electronic controls across the Chief, Maxim, Hydro Custom, Sure Grip Controls, and Hydrolico product lines, and we cross-reference Maxim and Chief cylinders against legacy and discontinued parts.

Bailey International Product Lines & Series

Bailey builds across five product lines, and the Chief and Maxim cylinder ranges make up the bulk of our roughly 820-SKU Bailey catalog. The catalog is organized by cylinder construction, so you can route straight to the configuration you need:

• Chief — flagship hydraulic cylinders, pumps, valves, motors, and power units; cylinder models span tie-rod, welded, telescopic, snowplow, and clevis configurations, backed by two-stage, PTO, and manual pump series.
• Maxim — value-oriented hydraulic cylinders, motors, and power units. The line covers welded cross-tube (WT), tie-rod (TC), welded clevis-mount (WC), swivel-ball (WSB), top-link, snowplow, and telescopic models.
• Hydro Custom — customizable hydraulic cylinder and motor series for application-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.

Within those ranges, our depth runs to ag clevis-mount and swivel-eye welded cylinders, snowplow cylinders, loader cylinders, two-stage hydraulic pumps, and log splitter components.

Cross-Referencing Bailey International Parts

Chief and Maxim cylinders are engineered as cost-effective replacements for a range of OEM and aftermarket cylinder brands, which makes Bailey a strong source when a tie-rod, welded clevis, cross-tube, or snowplow cylinder has been discontinued. Bring us a worn or obsolete cylinder and we match it on bore, stroke, rod diameter, mounting style, and port configuration to the closest Maxim WC, WT, WSB, or TC equivalent, or to a Chief or Hydrolico TR model. Exact part-number compatibility for legacy units typically requires consultation against Bailey’s current catalogs, so send the failed part number or measured dimensions and we will identify the equivalent. Request a cross-reference quote for any obsolete Bailey International or competing-brand cylinder, pump, or control.
