CUSTOM HOIST
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CUSTOM HOIST from 3G Electric.
What is the typical application for Custom Hoist CH Series telescopic hydraulic cylinders?
Custom Hoist CH Series cylinders are commonly used in dump truck bodies, refuse collection vehicles, and agricultural trailers where a long stroke is needed from a compact retracted length. The single-acting design extends under hydraulic pressure and retracts by gravity or external force, making them suitable for lifting and tipping applications. The welded construction provides robustness for frequent cycling in outdoor environments.
Are Custom Hoist CH Series cylinders single-acting or double-acting?
The CH Series cylinders listed are single-acting. They extend when hydraulic fluid is directed into the base port, and retraction occurs via gravity or an external load. This design simplifies the hydraulic circuit and reduces component count, which is typical for dump and lift applications where the load assists retraction.
What port sizes are available on Custom Hoist CH Series cylinders?
Based on the available SKUs, Custom Hoist CH Series cylinders come with either 3/4-inch NPTF or 1-inch NPTF ports. The port size is specified in the product details, allowing you to match existing hydraulic fittings. Always verify the port size against your system's requirements before installation.
How do I select the correct Custom Hoist cylinder for my application?
Selection depends on three primary factors: bore diameter, number of stages, and stroke length. Bore diameter determines the force output at a given pressure. The number of stages affects the retracted length relative to the extended stroke. Stroke length must match the required travel. Refer to the manufacturer part number (e.g., 231011) and compare with your existing cylinder's specifications.
Can Custom Hoist cylinders be used in continuous-duty industrial applications?
Custom Hoist CH Series cylinders are designed for intermittent-duty cycles typical of mobile equipment like dump trucks and refuse vehicles. For continuous-duty industrial applications, consult the manufacturer's duty cycle ratings and consider factors such as heat buildup and seal wear. The welded construction offers good durability, but application-specific validation is recommended.
