Commercial Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders

Commercial Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders

Flowfit supplies high-quality commercial telescopic hydraulic cylinders for small to medium-sized commercial tipping vehicles, road-going tipping trailers, agricultural machinery and mobile hydraulic applications. These multi-stage hydraulic cylinders are designed to provide a long stroke from a compact closed length, making them ideal for tipping systems where extended lifting height is required but installation space is limited.

Also known as telescopic hydraulic rams, multi-stage hydraulic cylinders, commercial tipping cylinders or telescopic lifting cylinders, these cylinders are commonly used for controlled lifting, tipping and unloading. Flowfit telescopic hydraulic cylinders offer lifting capacities ranging from 2 to 21 tonnes, with 2 to 5 stages available depending on the model selected.

Designed for Commercial Tipping and Lifting Applications

Commercial telescopic hydraulic cylinders are widely used on tipping trailers and commercial tipping vehicles where equipment needs to lift or tip heavy loads through a long travel range. Their multi-stage design allows the cylinder to extend in sections, providing the reach needed for tipping bodies and lifting systems while keeping the cylinder compact when fully retracted.

Flowfit’s range includes telescopic cylinders in three different bore sizes, with five length variations available for each size. This makes it easier to select the correct cylinder for your lifting capacity, stroke length, mounting style and vehicle or trailer setup.

Telescopic Cylinder Options Available

Flowfit offers a range of telescopic cylinder options to suit different mounting styles, tipping arrangements and hydraulic system requirements. Whether you need a cylinder for a new build, replacement, repair or upgrade, our range includes options designed for commercial and mobile hydraulic use.

• Bottom Mounted Telescopic Cylinders: Suitable for applications where the cylinder is mounted from the base of the tipping body or lifting system.
• Top Mounted Telescopic Cylinders: Designed for installations where a top-mounted arrangement is required.
• Pin Mounted Telescopic Cylinders: Ideal for systems requiring secure pinned mounting points for reliable installation.
• Telescopic Cylinder Accessories: Includes accessories and related components to support fitting, maintenance and installation.

Choosing the Right Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder

When selecting a commercial telescopic hydraulic cylinder, it is important to consider the lifting capacity, number of stages, bore size, stroke length, closed length, mounting style, working pressure, body size and available installation space. Choosing the correct specification helps ensure the cylinder can deliver the required lift height, force and fitment for your equipment.

If you are replacing an existing telescopic ram, checking the current cylinder’s dimensions, mounting points, number of stages and hydraulic connections is a good starting point. If you are building a new tipping or lifting system, Flowfit can help you identify the most suitable option based on your application and performance requirements.
