Dimensions are in millimetres and are taken from the current drawing for each model. Before ordering, ask us for the drawing of the exact model so the mounting dimensions are checked against your frame — the table is for selection, the drawing is what we build to.
Where this cylinder is used
Selection is driven by the duty cycle, not the catalogue. Tell us the load, the stroke you need and how many cycles per day — those three numbers decide the series and often the port configuration.

Questions buyers ask before ordering
- What is the difference between the two cylinders?
- The grabber cylinder (3 in bore, 1.378 in rod, 8 in stroke) does the short rapid-rail grab motion; the arm cylinder (4 in bore, 2.5 in rod, 40 in stroke) lifts the container over the cab. They are not interchangeable.
- What is a 22 YD automizer body?
- A 22 cubic yard automated side loader body. The arm cylinder listed here is specified for that body size, so matching the body volume matters as much as matching the bore.
- Can you supply both cylinders as a set?
- Yes. Both positions are listed together here precisely so a single order covers the grab and lift motions rather than leaving one side of the cycle on a different supplier.
