Multi-Stage Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder

1. Core Identity of the 4TSG-180-3035.3

The 4TSG-180-3035.3 multi-stage telescopic hydraulic cylinder is a piece of hardware we designed for machines that can’t afford to slow down—dump trucks, mobile cranes, large agricultural loaders, and mining equipment. The “4TSG” means it’s a 4-stage telescopic unit; the 180 mm primary bore is what gives it the muscle to lift heavy loads, and the 3035 mm stroke lets it reach far when fully extended. When it’s retracted, it shrinks down to 1280 mm—critical for machines that need to fit in tight spaces on job sites or transport routes. We built it to handle mud, dust, extreme temperatures, and constant vibration—no fancy marketing, just parts that hold up.

1.1 Design Choices That Matter

• Material and Finish: Every tube uses 42CrMo alloy steel—we pick this because it resists bending and cracking under high pressure. The piston rod is 35CrMo, heat-treated for extra strength. All external surfaces get QPQ quenching plus an anti-corrosion coating—we’ve tested it in salt spray for 72 hours, no rust spots. The inner tubes are honed by hand, not by machine—this gets the surface smooth enough to cut friction, so each stage slides without sticking.

• Seals That Don’t Leak: We offer two seal options—NBR for standard temps (-20°C to +60°C) and FKM for high heat (up to +80°C). Both are imported from European suppliers, and we fit them with a manual press—no automated assembly that skips tight fits. We test every seal by running the cylinder at full pressure for 5 minutes; if it leaks, we replace the seal kit and test again.

• Mounting That Fits Your Machine: You can choose clevis, trunnion, or flange mounts—we drill the holes to your exact specs, no extra drilling or welding required on your end. We’ve installed this cylinder on over 20 different machine models across North America and Europe; the mounting holes line up every time.

1.2 Straightforward Technical Specs

2. Performance That Delivers on Job Sites

2.1 Heavy-Load Strength You Can See

The 180 mm primary bore pushes enough force to lift 22-ton loads on dump trucks—we’ve had customers use it to haul wet gravel and rock for 3+ years without a single failure. The 4-stage design distributes the load evenly across each tube, so there’s no bending even when the load is off-center. We don’t just test in the factory—we send prototype units to construction sites in Texas and mining sites in Canada to run real-world trials before mass production.

2.2 Energy Efficiency That Saves You Money

The hand-honed inner surfaces cut friction, so your hydraulic pump doesn’t have to work overtime. Less pump work means less fuel burned—customers tell us they save 8–10% on fuel costs compared to standard cylinders. Lower friction also means less heat buildup in the hydraulic system; this extends the life of your pump and fluid by at least 2 years, cutting down on maintenance bills.

2.3 Easy Maintenance, Minimal Downtime

The cylinder uses a modular design—you can take it apart with a wrench and a screwdriver, no special tools needed. Seal kits are sold as a single package, so you don’t have to hunt for individual parts. We keep stock in warehouses in Chicago and Hamburg, so parts ship in 2–3 days to North America and Europe. A customer in Ohio told us they replaced a seal kit in 45 minutes and had their dump truck back on the road the same day.

3. Where This Cylinder Works Best

3.1 Construction & Mining

Dump trucks: Lifts beds smoothly, even with uneven loads. Backhoes: Extends dippers for deep digging without adding bulk. It handles constant vibration from rough terrain—we’ve seen it run for 6,000+ hours in mining sites without needing a seal replacement.

3.2 Agriculture

Combine harvesters: Adjusts headers to match uneven field terrain, so you don’t miss any crops. Large sprayers: Lifts booms to 12 meters high for wide coverage. It works in freezing winter wheat fields and scorching summer cornfields—seals don’t crack, tubes don’t rust, no matter the weather.

3.3 Material Handling

(1).Reach stackers: Extends arms to grab shipping containers 8 meters away from the machine. 

(2).Heavy-duty forklifts: Lifts steel pallets with precise control, so you don’t damage cargo. 

(3).Stationary conveyors: Tilts chutes to direct materials exactly where they need to go—fits both mobile and fixed setups.

4. Quality Control and After-Sales Support

Every 4TSG-180-3035.3 cylinder goes through three non-negotiable tests before it leaves the factory:

1. Pressure Test: Holds 25 MPa for 5 minutes—no leaks, no deformation allowed. Failures get scrapped, not repaired.

2. Leak Test: Submerged in hydraulic oil at full stroke—zero bubbles mean it passes. We check every inch of the cylinder for leaks.

3. Cycle Test: 500 full extend-retract cycles—must slide smoothly every time, no sticking or grinding.

We follow ISO 9001:2015 standards for every step of production. HCIC after-sales team is made up of hydraulic technicians, not call center reps—they can answer questions about installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting in 24 hours or less. We offer a 12-month warranty on every cylinder; if it fails due to manufacturing defects, we replace it for free.
