Selection & enquiry guidance

Choosing hydraulic cylinders for the application

Hydraulic cylinders are specified around the force required, stroke, closed height, available space and the way the load will be supported and controlled. The pump, hoses, couplers and any manifolds also need to form a compatible system.

Force and stroke

Provide the load, number of lifting points and the movement or stroke required.

Available space

Send the closed-height limit, working envelope and support-point dimensions.

Hydraulic system

Tell us whether a pump and other hydraulic components are required as part of the quotation.
