Folding Hydraulic Crutch and Jack Legs with Cylinder Piston
Flowfit supplies high-quality folding hydraulic crutch and jack legs with cylinder piston for trailers, agricultural machinery, plant equipment, commercial vehicles and heavy-duty mobile applications. These hydraulic support legs are designed to provide adjustable load-bearing support, helping stabilise and level equipment safely during operation, loading, unloading or parking.
Also known as folding hydraulic jack legs, hydraulic crutch legs, folding stabiliser legs, hydraulic support legs or jack legs with hydraulic cylinder piston, these units combine a strong support leg with a hydraulic cylinder and piston mechanism. The folding design allows the leg to be collapsed when not in use, making it easier to store, transport and keep clear of working areas.
Designed for Adjustable Support and Stability
Folding hydraulic crutch and jack legs are used where machinery, trailers or equipment require stable support on uneven surfaces or during stationary operation. The built-in hydraulic cylinder piston allows the leg to extend and retract smoothly, helping adjust the height of the equipment and improve balance, stability and safety.
This makes them especially useful for equipment that needs reliable support without taking up unnecessary space when travelling or in storage. Once folded away, the crutch or jack leg remains compact and practical for mobile applications.
Key Features
- Hydraulic piston mechanism: The built-in cylinder piston uses hydraulic pressure to extend or retract smoothly, providing reliable load-bearing support.
- Foldable design: Allows the crutch or jack leg to be folded away when not in use, helping reduce space requirements during storage and transportation.
- Adjustable height: Provides controlled height adjustment to help level machinery, trailers or equipment safely and accurately.
- Improved stabilisation: Helps prevent movement, rocking or instability during operation, particularly on uneven or sloped surfaces.
- Durable construction: Built from strong materials to handle the stresses and loads of heavy machinery and demanding working environments.
- Versatile applications: Suitable for trailers, agricultural machinery, plant equipment, commercial vehicles and mobile hydraulic systems.
Common Applications

Choosing the Right Folding Hydraulic Jack Leg
When selecting a folding hydraulic jack leg with cylinder piston, it is important to consider the load requirements, stroke length, closed length, mounting style, folding position, hydraulic connection, working pressure and available installation space. Choosing the correct specification helps ensure stable support, safe operation and reliable fitment to your equipment.
If you are replacing an existing hydraulic crutch leg, checking the current unit’s dimensions, mounting points, pivot arrangement and hydraulic port details is a good starting point. If you are specifying a new support system, Flowfit can help you identify the most suitable option for your application.
