The maintenance device consists of a hydraulic insulation unit (2) mounted between the supply circuits of a cylinder (1). The insulation unit (2) comprises a sluice (9) which has, at each of its two openings, an anti-return valve, one of which, the primary valve (11) is hydraulically connected to the outlet chamber (6) of the shaft (7) of the cylinder (1) and opens toward said chamber; and a safety valve (13) opening in the same direction, with the latter valve closing at a different rate than the primary valve closes. The invention is useful for maintaining the shaft of any cylinder in position, particularly a charged cylinder, and it is of interest to manufacturers of hydraulic devices, particularly lifting cylinders, as well as those who use them.
