Single-acting and telescopic cylinders for dump-body hoist applications. Trunnion and clevis mounts accommodate various frame geometries. Rated for loads from 3 tons to 50+ tons in construction and quarry operations.

Browse Dump Truck Cylinders

Agriculture

Loader arms, 3-point hitches, header lifts, and grain-cart auger drives. Tie-rod cylinders dominate this sector for their field-rebuildability during planting and harvest windows.

Material Handling & Forklifts

Lift, tilt, and steering cylinders for counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and warehouse stackers. OEM-matched dimensions for direct replacement without frame modification.

Construction & Earthmoving

Boom, stick, and bucket cylinders for excavators, skid steers, and compact track loaders. Welded-body construction handles the shock loads and debris exposure of job-site duty.

Industrial Manufacturing

Press rams, conveyor tensioners, gate actuators, and custom automation. Standard NFPA-mount cylinders integrate with existing hydraulic power units without re-plumbing.

Waste & Recycling

Compactor rams, container-handler lifts, and baler cylinders. Chrome-plated rods and high-cycle seal packages resist the abrasive, corrosive conditions of waste-stream environments.

Forestry & Mining

Log-splitter, feller-buncher, and underground loader cylinders. Heavy wall tubes and oversize rod diameters handle the sustained high-pressure, high-cycle demands of resource extraction.

Barrel: Cold-drawn seamless tube, precision-honed to ≤ Ra 0.4 μm surface finish for optimal seal life.
Piston Rod: Ground and hard-chrome plated (20–25 μm thickness) or ceramic-coated for extreme environments.
Piston: ASTM A536 ductile iron or alloy steel, with multi-ring seal packages rated for the target pressure and temperature range.
Seals: NBR, FKM (Viton), polyurethane, and PTFE compounds selected per fluid type, temperature, and duty cycle.
Construction: Tie-rod, welded, mill-type, and telescopic. Single-acting or double-acting.
Testing: 100% hydrostatic proof test at 1.5× rated pressure, function test, and dimensional inspection before shipment.

What types of hydraulic cylinders does Metalite supply?

We supply hydraulic cylinders across 15 product categories — from compact forklift steering cylinders to heavy-duty offshore and tunnel boring machine units. Construction types include tie-rod, welded, mill-type, and telescopic, in both single-acting and double-acting configurations. Visit the category grid above for the full list.

Can you manufacture custom hydraulic cylinders to our specifications?

Yes. We provide full custom engineering. Send us your drawings with bore diameter, stroke length, working pressure, mounting style, port configuration, and operating environment details. We support custom bore sizes from 25 mm to 500 mm and stroke lengths up to 12 meters for telescopic models. Our team returns a detailed quotation within 24 hours.

What is the maximum working pressure available?

Our standard industrial lines are rated for 3,000 PSI (210 bar). Specialty lines for offshore, tunnel boring, and heavy construction applications are available up to 5,000 PSI (350 bar). Contact our engineering team for higher pressure requirements.

What industries do your hydraulic cylinders serve?

Agriculture, material handling (forklifts), construction, aerial work platforms, sanitation and waste management, mobile machinery, industrial engineering, offshore and marine, energy and renewables, tunnel boring, dump trucks and trailers, and tractor/loader applications. We supply both OEMs integrating cylinders into new equipment and aftermarket buyers replacing worn units.

What quality standards and certifications do you hold?

Our manufacturing operates under ISO 9001:2015 quality management. All cylinders undergo incoming material inspection, in-process dimensional verification, hydrostatic proof testing at 1.5× rated pressure, and final function testing. Material certifications, test reports, and certificates of conformance are supplied with every order.

Do you offer OEM and aftermarket hydraulic cylinders?

Yes. For OEM customers, we provide design collaboration, prototyping, and volume production with batch-to-batch consistency. For aftermarket buyers, we supply direct-replacement cylinders matching original equipment dimensions and performance — often at shorter lead times and more competitive pricing than the original manufacturer.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

No fixed MOQ. We accommodate single-unit orders for prototyping and field replacement through to full-container production runs. Volume pricing applies at 10+ units, and blanket orders with scheduled delivery over 6–12 months are available.

How do I choose the right hydraulic cylinder type for my application?

Key factors: required force (bore + system pressure), stroke length, available space, operating environment (temperature, corrosion, contamination), duty cycle, and field-serviceability needs. Our selection guide table compares tie-rod, welded, telescopic, and mill-type configurations. Our sales engineers can recommend the optimal match for your specific application — just contact us with your requirements.
