In most areas of the world, agriculture is a leading industry. Today agricultural equipment is larger and stronger than the equipment of even a few decades ago, and it is required to be able to push, lift, pull and move increasingly heavy loads in often challenging environments.
When it comes to tractor loader hydraulic cylinders, there are several factors that a farm equipment manufacturer considers. They want cylinders that are durable, reliable and long lasting, as well as cylinders that can work in all types of weather from wet and muddy conditions to hot and dusty.
Finding the right company to manufacture tractor loader hydraulic cylinders both as a prototype for new equipment or as OEM replacement parts for existing equipment is essential for your business. Working with a top hydraulic cylinder manufacturer is always the best option, particularly when the manufacturer is global and can meet your demands on a worldwide basis.
What to Consider in Cylinders?
All hydraulic cylinders have the same components, but it’s how these components are designed based on the load capacity, the force and the demands on the cylinder and the equipment that is critical.
Companies specializing in tractor loader hydraulic cylinders can work with your equipment design team to discuss the options for a single or a double acting cylinder, and if it should be operated using a one or two stage hydraulic pump.
Additionally, choosing the type of piston, the shock absorbing factors of the cylinder and issues such as the bore and stroke length will all be critical to offer the best performance and the maximum capacity.
What to Consider in the Manufacturer?
For an agribusiness based manufacturer, working with a cylinder manufacturer with experience in designing cylinders for agricultural use will be important. This is not the same as working in a controlled environment where there is very little variation on the loads and operating conditions.
Choose a cylinder manufacturer that is willing to work with you to create the right match in the tractor hydraulic cylinders and not a company that is trying to get you to match your equipment to their cylinder manufacturing system.
Also, be sure to check that the cylinder manufacturer you choose has a top reputation for on-time delivery of orders. A company with a history of delays and late delivery is always going to a risky choice, potentially leading to lost production time for equipment and lost sales on your end.
