Hydraulic Cylinders: Discover Our Range Here

mike products

Hydraulic jacks have all kinds of uses in a variety of different work environments, and we stock a fantastic range of them here at SafetyLiftinGear. No matter what you're lifting, pushing or pulling, we've got the right hydraulic cylinder for the job - here's a quick run-down of what we have to offer:

Remember, our hydraulic cylinders are available to buy OR hire!

Standard Cylinders

Our standard hydraulic cylinders come in a range of different shapes and sizes, with working load limits ranging from 10 to 100 tonnes.

Low Profile Cylinders

These low-height cylinders are ideal for getting underneath objects that are low to the ground. If you need to get even lower, our pad jacks may be better-suited to your requirements.

Centre Hole Cylinders

Each of these hollow cylinders has a hole in the centre, allowing you to insert rods/bolts into the jack and pull as well as push.

Lock Nut Cylinders

Finally, we come to the lock nut hydraulic cylinder. This product's safety lock nut mechanism offers load holding functionality, and the jack itself can cope with loads weighing up to 30 tonnes.

Injured Veteran Completes Mud Run Using SafetyLiftinGear Harness

This is Andrew Bracey, a paraplegic veteran who served in the Royal Artillery for 17 years and lost the use of his legs after a motorbiking accident eleven years ago:

Next May, Andrew will be taking part in the Nuclear Races - a challenging obstacle course event that's known for its "ultra-gritty, properly muddy" terrain - to raise money for Blesma, a British charity that was set up in 1932 to support limbless veterans.

But Andrew doesn't have to wait until the race itself for a taste of what he's in for! Last month, the Nuclear Races organisers hosted a 'taster day' that saw Andrew (along with his team of around 20 friends, family members, and serving soldiers) try out the course and get a hands-on preview of the obstacles in store.

Andrew, who is confined to a wheelchair, completed this initial (but still gruelling!) mud run with the help of a G-Force P70 Harness (plus karabiners) from SafetyLiftinGear. We've provided special wheelchair harnesses in the past for the likes of Shaun Gash, and so we knew that our products would be perfect for this particular challenge.

Congratulations to Andrew and his team for participating in this initial taster day, and we wish them the very best for the main even next May! You can read more about this story on the Blesma website.
