Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know if my cylinder needs replacing? A: Common signs include fluid leaks at the rod seal, slow or uneven platform motion, and the platform drifting down under load.

Q: Is any other service needed when swapping the cylinder? A: Check the hydraulic fluid level, hoses, and fittings, and bleed the system after installation for proper operation.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
