Application of Small and Mid-sized Hydraulic Cylinders for Lifting and Agricultural Machines

Hydraulic cylinders are the muscle fibers of a machine, if a vehicle or an equipment is moving, most likely it is with the help of hydraulic cylinder in some manner. From vehicles you use to move around the city to the largest mines and deepest drilling rigs, everywhere there is a degree of importance for hydraulic cylinders. While in an excavator or a drilling ring a cylinder is clearly visible, the most frequently used hydraulic cylinders are small and mid-sized, something that slips into the machine, never to be seen again but important all the same.

You may not even know and a hydraulic cylinder may be in an everyday equipment. For example, the adjustable chair and table in the office is had hydraulic cylinders. That is how the adjustments are possible, there are also other ways, but actuators are what make the ergonomic chairs and tables move. But not just limited to office, other day to day equipment also make use of small and mid-sized hydraulic cylinders with primary focus being in lifting and agricultural machines. Here are some of the applications;

Lifting Workshop Tables
When a bike or mid-sized machines are taken into a workshop of maintenance, the employees there use tables to raise the machine to eye level or look under the machine. Lying on the ground to check the bottom are rarely done these days with lifting tables doing the heavy listing so that the worker has full function of their limbs when working on the machine. On lifting workshop tables, the hydraulic cylinder or cylinders are strategically placed to give multiple points of reference and visualization.
Window Cleaning Vehicles
In taller buildings with windows and no discernable latch to stand on, windows are cleaned with the help of self-propelled cranes. With multiple mid-sized hydraulic cylinders, the crane is able to adjusted at multiple heights, helping the operator to reach places no one else can. Small and mid-sized cylinders are used in multiple lifting machines.
Adjustable Chairs and Workstations
With the focus of people moving to health, even when they are working, adjustable chairs and more often workstations have been prioritized. While chairs with adjustable heights have been around for a while, newer versions have remote and button function with an actual hydraulic cylinder inside the chair to prop it up or take it down. The same is the case for workstations, big tables with multiple things on top of it are lifted and adjusted with the help of small and mid-sized hydraulic cylinders
Transfer Vehicles
Wind energy has been taking slow and steady steps over the years. There are windmills on the ocean nowadays to produce electrical energy. But those behemoth structures themselves cannot stand on its own without the help of people. So, in the middle of the ocean, ships carry people and drop them off on the turbines to maintain and it. The transfer vehicles used to transfer people from ships to turbine use small and mid-sized hydraulic cylinders as stabilizers. Against the current of the water, the cylinders make sure the transfer platform is secure.
Steering Cylinders
Not only in agricultural and lifting machines, mid-sized hydraulic cylinders are used as steering cylinders in almost all kinds of vehicles. Power steering was made possible with the help of the hydraulic cylinders. Depending on the drivetrain, the hydraulic cylinder can be small or mid-sized.
Backhoe Diggers
Not every work in a field or farm requires excavator or large-scale digging machines. A simple attachment of a backhoe on a tractor does the job in an efficient and effective manner. The booms arms of the diggers are propelled with the help of small hydraulic cylinders. So, instead of a large-scale work, a small digger will be efficient in working about the farms.
Trench and Field Diggers
The attachments on agricultural tractors are in most cases aided by small and mid-sized hydraulic cylinders. From a cabin a trench or field digger can be controlled, even machines that sow have hydraulic cylinders to make the use efficient and smooth. Attachments in fields can be opened up with the help of hydraulic cylinders and folded up when the tractor needs to leave the field and drive on the road.
Spreaders and Sprinklers
When planting a large field, using a shovel and sack is not an efficient way of spreading manure. The emphasis being on time and ease of work, spreaders and sprinklers have received wide adoption. Spreading trailers, with the help of a pushing hydraulic cylinder, automatic doors and propelled rotators help uniformly and in a controlled fashion spread manure on the field. Same is the case for sprinklers which are folded up in multiple halves with the help of hydraulic cylinder when not in use sprinkling water or insecticide.
Pickers and Harvesters
Pickers and harvesters also use hydraulic cylinders to propel either people or baskets to harvest and pick fruits and vegetables. Conveyer belts, harvesting nets, raised platforms, small outreach cranes, all are adjusted with small and mid-sized hydraulic cylinders. Depending on the machine, somewhere from 5 to 20 cylinders are used in such equipment.

Why Eurobalt for Your Small and Mid-sized Agricultural and Lifting Needs?

Hydraulic cylinder is an outsized share of Eurobalt’s total output in the market. We have been producing hydraulic cylinders since the inception of the company and through the years of experience, we have been able to stand on our own against some well-known name brands in the market. But beyond just production there are many things that make us a worthwhile partner in your supply chain.

Price Guarantee

Something uniquely Eurobalt is our focus on making it as easy as possible for our clients to maintain a price and competitive advantage in the market. Your success is our success that is why we are providing a 6 to 36 months price guarantee for hydraulic cylinders.

While the market keeps rising all around, our new production line will be able to provide you with a competitive advantage in terms of a constant and reliable source of price stable cylinders.

Quality and Timely Delivery

While all the companies in the world tout how timely their delivery is with graphics on their website saying 95 to 99% customers are satisfied with the delivery times. But in reality, those are just inflated numbers created to encourage the first purchase. That is not the case with Eurobalt, first orders always take time as working with new cylinders and new production cycles take some time. But the above mention contract allows us to produce cylinders in a normal production schedule. When cylinders are integrated into our production cycle, the time spent on downtime is low. This allows a higher volume of quality production which can be instead stored in one of our warehouses. Then on time delivery just does not seem like that big a deal.

So, pick up your phone or write us an email with your agricultural and lifting needs.

Also, any other type of hydraulic cylinders that you need, send us the drawings or 3D models and we will come back to you with a price offer in a few days.
