Hydraulic Cylinder for Forestry & Logging Industry
We have over two decades of experience working with hydraulics parts and systems used for forestry and logging. Cylinders, Inc. can repair hydraulic cylinders or supply new parts for forest machine to keep vital forestry equipment moving right along.
- Designed for heavy duty use on timber harvesting equipment like feller bunchers, harvesters, and skidders.
- Large bore sizes from 4" to 12" with long stroke lengths to provide powerful pushing/pulling.
- Able to generate forces up to 100,000 lbs for felling trees, delimbing, and moving logs.
- Use high strength alloy steel materials that resist abrasion and impact damage.
- Implement wiper seals, guide rings, and shaft brushes to prevent contaminant entry.
- Rugged cylinder rods with special coatings to minimize corrosion and scuffing.
- Lock valves prevent logged trees and equipment from dropping if hydraulic pressure is lost.
- Cushioning mechanisms reduce shock at stroke ends during high speed cycles.
- Position sensors provide feedback for automation and monitoring.
- Designed to withstand ultra-low temperatures as well as high temps from prolonged use.
- Guarding often used to protect exposed cylinder rods from damage.
- Regular maintenance needed to check for leaks and ensure proper lubrication.
- Mounting configurations customized for specific logging attachments and machinery.
- Reliable high-speed, high-force operation helps maximize logging productivity and efficiency.
In summary, hydraulic cylinders for forestry use are extremely durable and provide the power, speed and control needed for demanding harvesting operations.
