12 Ton Inverted Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder 120-144 Inch Stroke for Heavy Dump Trailers
URL Slug: htc-12ton-120-144in-dump-trailer-cylinder
The Apex HTC-Compatible Series also includes a 12-ton capacity inverted telescopic hydraulic cylinder designed for heavy-duty dump trailer applications. With longer stroke options of 120 to 144 inches and the same robust 3,000 PSI working pressure, it handles larger loads and higher dumping angles.
Key Selling Points
- 12-ton capacity (source: product type) – supports heavier payloads in construction, mining, and bulk transport.
- 120–144 inch stroke (source: stroke options) – provides the extended reach needed for tall dump bodies and steep dumping angles.
- 3,000 PSI working pressure (source: working pressure) – maintains lifting force under heavy load conditions.
- Single-acting gravity return (source: retraction method) – keeps the hydraulic circuit simple and reliable.
- Rebuildable design (source: selling point) – lowers lifetime ownership costs.
- SAE #8 ORB port (source: port options) – ensures a leak-tight connection.
