Product overview

A front-end installation places the cylinder between the chassis and the headboard of the tipping body. The closed length has to fit the available space and the stroke has to reach the tipping angle without over-extending.

We size this cylinder from the chassis drawing rather than from a nominal tonnage, because two trucks with the same payload can have very different space under the body.

Key features

  • Available in single and twin-cylinder arrangements.
  • Matched with the bracket set for the installation.
  • Imported high-grade oil seals for stable sealing under load.
  • Thickened hard-chrome plating on the piston rod for wear resistance.
  • One-piece forged cylinder head for higher torsional strength.
  • Dust wiper seal in front of the rod seal to keep abrasive material out.
