Gibraltars Hydraulic Drum Throne Upgrade
Over the past few years, Gibraltar has had some issues with their hydraulic thrones "failing" long before their 5 year warranty expires and they have replaced a ton of these thrones - - Now, Moving Forward -
DW now owns Gibraltar - My last Gibraltar hydraulic throne has been replaced twice since July 2015 and just last week they sent me a new Hydraulic cylinder as a warranty replacement for the second failed throne - then day before yesterday FedEx delivered a box from Gibraltar - it was their new "Pneumatic Cylinder" replacement for their previous Hydraulic drum thrones...and when I contacted DW's customer service rep, he explained that DW has been using an "Airlift" type drum throne and now the previously hydraulic Gibraltar thrones will be upgraded to the "Pneumatic" type using the DW Pneumatic cylinders, which DW says hasnt had any failures to date.
I think this says a lot for Gibraltars gear - DW is standing behind Gibraltar warranties.
