Our design team is here for you to solve any issues that you might have when it comes to your hydraulics. After the design process, our production team steps in to make sure that our designs are always precisely manufactured and carefully examined at our factories.
In the load handling segment, particularly for aerial platforms, precision and safety are paramount.
As a leading hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, we offer a range of specialized hydraulic cylinders designed to meet the stringent requirements of aerial platform OEMs across Europe. Our hydraulic solutions ensure that your aerial equipment performs reliably, safely, and efficiently in every operation.
Examples of hydraulic cylinders for load handling in our current product portfolio:
Support legs
Support legs, or stabilizing cylinders, are critical for ensuring the stability of aerial platforms during operation. These hydraulic cylinders provide the necessary support to keep the platform steady, allowing for safe and effective elevation.
Key features support legs:
- High-strength construction for maximum stability
- Smooth operation to ensure safe platform positioning
- Long service life with minimal maintenance needs
- Custom designs to fit various platform models
Outriggers
Outrigger cylinders play a crucial role in extending the base of the aerial platform, providing additional stability when working at heights. Our outrigger cylinders are designed for quick deployment and reliable performance in all conditions.
Key features of outriggers:
- Fast and efficient extension and retraction
- Built to handle high-pressure environments
- Enhanced stability for safe operations at height
- Engineered to fit a variety of platform configurations
Tilt Cylinders (Lifting “Basket”)
Tilt cylinders are integral to the safe and accurate positioning of the lifting basket, ensuring that operators can work comfortably and efficiently at various angles. Our tilt cylinders provide the necessary control and stability for these critical adjustments.
Key features of tilt cylinders:
