Stabiliser Leg Double Acting Cylinders

Stabiliser Leg Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

Flowfit supplies high-quality stabiliser leg double acting hydraulic cylinders for trailers, construction machinery, agricultural vehicles, plant equipment and mobile hydraulic systems. These heavy-duty cylinders are designed to provide controlled lifting and lowering, helping equipment remain stable, level and secure during operation.

Also known as hydraulic stabiliser jack leg cylinders, stabiliser jack cylinders, jack leg cylinders or hydraulic stabiliser rams, these cylinders are commonly used where machinery needs support on uneven ground or sloped surfaces. By extending or retracting under hydraulic pressure, they help adjust the height or angle of equipment to improve stability, safety and functionality.

Designed for Stabilising and Levelling Equipment

Stabiliser leg hydraulic cylinders are designed to support equipment when it is parked, operating or working under load. They are commonly fitted to machinery that needs to remain steady while lifting, loading, unloading or carrying out site work. This makes them an important component for applications where movement, rocking or uneven positioning could affect safety or performance.

By providing controlled extension and retraction, a double acting stabiliser leg cylinder allows the operator to adjust support legs or jack legs with accuracy. This helps keep equipment level and secure, even when working on rough, uneven or sloped ground.

Double Acting Operation for Controlled Support

Unlike single acting cylinders, which use hydraulic pressure in one direction and rely on gravity or load return for the opposite movement, double acting hydraulic cylinders use hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction. This gives improved control when deploying and retracting stabiliser legs, helping ensure smooth, predictable movement in both directions.

This double acting design is especially useful for stabiliser and jack leg applications where the cylinder needs to extend firmly into position and retract reliably after use. It helps provide dependable operation, better control and reduced manual effort when setting up or repositioning equipment.

Common Applications

Flowfit stabiliser leg double acting cylinders are suitable for a wide range of applications where hydraulic support, levelling or controlled adjustment is required.

• Trailers and mobile equipment: Used to stabilise trailers and vehicle-mounted systems during loading, unloading or operation.
• Construction machinery: Suitable for plant equipment that needs stable support on job sites and uneven ground.
• Agricultural vehicles: Used on farm machinery, attachments and trailers requiring reliable stabilising or levelling.
• Lifting and access equipment: Helps support equipment during lifting, positioning or working at height.
• Industrial and commercial machinery: Suitable for equipment that requires controlled support legs or hydraulic jack leg operation.

Choosing the Right Stabiliser Leg Hydraulic Cylinder

When selecting a stabiliser leg double acting hydraulic cylinder, it is important to consider the bore size, stroke length, closed length, mounting style, working pressure, load requirements and available installation space. Choosing the correct specification helps ensure the cylinder can provide the support, movement and stability required for your equipment.

If you are replacing an existing stabiliser or jack leg cylinder, checking the current cylinder’s dimensions, mounting points and hydraulic port details is a good starting point. If you are building or modifying a hydraulic support system, Flowfit can help you identify the most suitable option for your application.
