Hydraulic Rams in NZ

Overview

(also known as hydraulic cylinders) are high-performance linear actuators engineered to deliver powerful force using pressurised hydraulic fluid. Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, these systems convert hydraulic energy into controlled mechanical motion for lifting, pushing, and positioning operations.

In New Zealand’s demanding sectors—construction, agriculture, forestry, and marine— it play a critical role in ensuring precision, durability, and operational efficiency. Their robust construction, high load capacity, and adaptability make them essential for modern machinery and equipment

Key Features

• High force output for heavy lifting and pressing applications

• Precision-controlled linear motion

• Durable steel construction for harsh NZ environments

• Available in single-acting and double-acting configurations

• Custom stroke lengths and bore sizes

• Corrosion-resistant coatings for marine and outdoor use

Applications in New Zealand

• Construction equipment (excavators, loaders, cranes)

• Agricultural machinery (tractors, harvesters)

• Forestry and logging equipment

• Marine and offshore systems

• Industrial automation and manufacturing

rams are widely used where extreme force over short stroke distances is required, such as lifting platforms, tipping trailers, and press systems.

Hydraulic rams are known for their high power-to-weight ratio and reliability, making them ideal for continuous and demanding operations.

Technical Insight

A hydraulic ram operates by forcing pressurised fluid into a cylinder, moving a piston and generating linear force. This mechanism allows precise control and significant power output in compact systems.
