Description
Forklift Truck Lift Oil Cylinder — Mast Lifting Stage
The lift oil cylinder drives the inner mast’s vertical travel in counterbalance and reach forklift applications. This model features a 56mm bore, 45mm rod, 750mm stroke, and 984mm pin-to-pin installation distance — a specification covering mid-capacity forklift applications in the 2-tonne to 3.5-tonne payload range. The 750mm stroke provides the full inner mast travel required in duplex and triplex mast assemblies for standard rack height clearance in 4.0m to 6.0m racking configurations. As a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, the unit extends under hydraulic pressure and descends under the weight of the mast, carriage, and load when the lowering control is operated.

Mast Stage Application Context
In a duplex mast, two or three lift cylinders operate in parallel to raise the inner mast section. In a triplex mast, a first-stage cylinder provides the initial free-lift travel; second and third stage cylinders extend sequentially for maximum lift height. The 56mm bore and 750mm stroke of this cylinder position it as a main lift stage unit in duplex configurations or a second-stage cylinder in triplex assemblies for machines in the 2–3.5 tonne capacity range.
Performance Highlights
Covers the inner mast travel range for standard 4.0m to 6.0m racking clearance heights.
Near-full-bore rod diameter provides excellent column strength and minimises deflection at full extension.
Pressure-tested to confirm zero bypass at 1.5× working pressure in the static hold condition.
Available to match lift cylinder specifications for major forklift brands in the 2–3.5 tonne class.

What our customers say
“The welded-body forklift tilt cylinders held zero internal bypass on our first pressure test. After three months of two-shift warehouse use, not a single seal replacement — that durability speaks for itself.”
Mark T.
Fleet Maintenance Manager · UK
“We sourced 40 single-acting lift cylinders for our reach truck fleet. The bore finish was verified at Ra 0.6 µm with our own profilometer. Installation was drop-in on every unit — no shimming, no modification.”
Petra V.
Procurement Lead · Netherlands
“Custom steering cylinders arrived on day 12 — ahead of the quoted window. Pressure test certificates were included without being requested. We’re now placing our next order for the harvesting machinery cylinder series.”
