RSHG-Series S/A, High Tonnage

The RSHG-Series is a Single Acting, Load Return, High Tonnage Cylinder range up to 1,000 ton capacity. They are ideally suited for use in civil construction, heavy jacking and other high load applications.

Hard Chrome Plated Bore & Piston Rod

These cylinders feature a hard chrome cylinder bore and piston rod for maximum corrosion resistance.

Stop Ring

A built in stop ring withstands full dead
end loading to ensure maximum performance and safety.

Hardened Grooved Saddle

The interchangeable hardened grooved saddles prevent piston rod
damage. Optional TSG tilt saddles are also available.

Bronze Overlay

A bronze overlay piston bearing area resists side load induced damage and
extends cylinder life.

Base Mounting Holes + Eye Bolts

All cylinders in this range have base mounting holes plus top and side mounted eye bolts for lifting and positioning.

Piston Rod Wiper

The piston rod wiper reduces contaminants.
