Are you a small trailer manufacturer or buyer searching for reliable, space-saving hydraulic cylinders? HCIC’s 4-Stage Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders are built for small trailers—no more dealing with bulky fixed-length models that eat up storage or force you to rework frame brackets to get a fit.
We’ve been building these telescopic hydraulic cylinders for small trailer folks for over a decade, and we know the pain points: you need something that tucks away tight but still lifts what you need. Ours retract to 40% of their extended length—take a 12-inch extended cylinder, it shrinks down to 4.8 inches flat. That’s enough extra room for a cooler or a set of tools on a camping trailer, or more cargo space on a utility hauler, all while handling 500kg up to 3t of load.
We don’t do one-size-fits-all here at HCIC. If your small trailer needs a 6-inch stroke instead of 12, or a trunnion mount over a clevis, we tweak it—no extra fees for basic customizations. We also coat the rods with zinc for coastal buyers (stops rust fast) or powder coat for folks in rough, rocky areas. These cylinders hold up from -20°C in the Canadian Prairies to 80°C in the Australian outback—we’ve tested ‘em ourselves.
A trailer builder out of Indiana switched to HCIC small trailer hydraulic cylinders last spring, and he told us straight: installation time dropped 30% ‘cause he didn’t have to weld new brackets, and his customers keep coming back saying the extra storage space is a game-changer. 12 months in, not a single cylinder has leaked or failed—he hasn’t had to process a single warranty claim, which saves him thousands.
If you’re tired of ordering generic cylinders that don’t fit right and end up costing you time and money, we get it. We keep stock in Ohio and Germany, so lead times are short—no waiting weeks for parts. And our tech team works directly with you, not through a middleman, so you get exactly what your small trailer needs.
