Our Hydraulic Cylinder Range

Browse our hydraulic cylinder range by product type:

• Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders for applications requiring powered movement in both directions.
• Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders for lifting, pushing and applications where the return stroke is achieved by gravity, load weight or an external force.
• Commercial Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders for heavy-duty applications requiring a long stroke from a compact closed length.
• Agricultural Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders for trailers, tipping equipment and farm machinery applications.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Cylinder

Hydraulic cylinders convert hydraulic pressure into linear force and movement. They are commonly used for lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, tilting and tipping applications across machinery, vehicles and hydraulic equipment.

Selecting the correct hydraulic cylinder is important for safe and efficient system performance. Key details to check include cylinder type, bore size, stroke length, closed length, rod diameter, mounting style, working pressure and port size. Choosing the correct specification helps ensure the cylinder delivers the required force and movement for your application.

Double Acting and Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

Double acting hydraulic cylinders use hydraulic pressure to extend and retract the rod, making them suitable for applications that require controlled movement in both directions. They are commonly used in machinery, lifting equipment, industrial systems and mobile hydraulic applications.

Single acting hydraulic cylinders use hydraulic pressure to move in one direction, with the return stroke usually achieved by gravity, load weight or another external force. These cylinders are often used for lifting, tipping and pushing applications where powered return is not required.

Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders

Telescopic hydraulic cylinders are designed to provide a long stroke length while maintaining a compact closed length. This makes them suitable for tipping trailers, dump bodies, agricultural equipment and commercial vehicles where extended reach is required but installation space is limited.

Flowfit supplies commercial telescopic cylinders and agricultural telescopic cylinders to support a range of tipping, lifting and mobile hydraulic applications.

Hydraulic Rams for Agricultural, Industrial and Mobile Applications

Hydraulic cylinders and rams are used across many industries, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, transport, plant machinery and material handling. They are commonly fitted to trailers, tippers, presses, loaders, lifts, ploughs and other hydraulic systems that require dependable linear force.

Flowfit also supplies hydraulic rams and cylinders for specialist applications, including turn-over plough cylinders and other hydraulic solutions designed for demanding working environments.
