RE: Super Large Hydraulic Cylinder

Not to familiar with specs, but I would try Dump truck Manufacturers they use them to dump 20foot long trailers. Also garbage trucks use large telescoping cylinders.

RE: Super Large Hydraulic Cylinder

The type of cylinder you are talking about is not something most manufacturers would have on hand.  My experience with the amusement park industry has been that there is not a large demand for these types of large cylinders so they are mostly custom designed as the application arrises.

If you really need this information you will have to contact the manufacturers directly with your application and they will design what you need.

I would also point out that the large, tilting amusement park rides like you are describing do not use a telescoping cylinder.  A dump truck uses a telscoping cylinder for space, and pressure reasons.  An amusement ride, which is fixed, does not have these same limitations.  Just something to think about.

The type of cylinder you are looking for shall be
custum built to meet your requirement of deflection
and load carrying capacity.Any prominent hydrualic
cylinder manufactures will design for you.
