A telescopic hydraulic cylinder is generally the preferred solution for heavy-duty tipping applications because it provides a long stroke from a compact closed length. The correct cylinder must be selected according to payload, body dimensions, tipping geometry, hydraulic pressure and installation configuration.
Telescopic cylinders use multiple extending stages, allowing them to achieve the long stroke required to raise a tipper body while remaining compact when fully retracted.
Chromium plating provides a hard, wear-resistant working surface and can contribute to the durability and long-term performance of telescopic cylinder stages. Hidromas uses chromium plating across all cylinder stages as a standart.
The Hidromas sealing system is designed to operate efficiently within a temperature range of -30°C to +55°C, supporting operation across a wide range of climatic conditions.
Yes. Hidromas can provide custom stroke lengths upon request, depending on the technical requirements and tipping geometry of the application.
Neither configuration is universally better. Front-end cylinders are commonly used for heavy-duty applications requiring long strokes and high lifting forces, while underbody cylinders provide a compact installation underneath the tipper body. The correct choice depends on the vehicle and body design.
Front-end cylinders are installed at the front of the tipping body and are commonly used for larger tipper and semi-trailer applications. Underbody cylinders are installed beneath the tipping body and are commonly used where installation space and vehicle configuration require a different lifting arrangement.
If you provide the manufacturer, cylinder model or product code, our team can help identify a suitable Hidromas alternative. Equivalent selection should always be confirmed against the technical requirements of the application.
Cylinder selection depends on the vehicle and tipper-body dimensions, payload, mounting position, required tipping angle, stroke and hydraulic-system pressure. Share these details with our engineering team for a safe, correctly sized recommendation.
The permitted working pressure is product-specific. Many Hidromas telescopic tipping cylinders are designed for pressures up to 250 bar, but you must always follow the value shown on the product datasheet and identification label.
