Replacement Hydraulic Cylinders for Palfinger Equipment

A hydraulic cylinder must match more than its overall length. Bore diameter, rod diameter, stroke, mounting position, pin size, port thread, working pressure and retracted length all affect whether the cylinder can be installed and operated correctly.

We can evaluate replacement cylinders for the following equipment:

Palfinger loader cranes
Palfinger knuckle boom cranes
Palfinger telescopic boom cranes
Palfinger stiff boom cranes
Palfinger hookloaders
Palfinger skiploaders
Palfinger tail lifts
Palfinger timber and recycling cranes
Palfinger marine and offshore cranes
Other Palfinger lifting and handling equipment

Compatibility is confirmed according to the equipment model, cylinder function and technical dimensions rather than the brand name alone.

Types of Palfinger Crane Hydraulic Cylinders

Main Boom Cylinder

The main boom or lifting cylinder controls the raising and lowering of the crane boom. It is normally designed for high load capacity, stable movement and repeated lifting cycles.

Important specifications include:

Bore and rod diameter
Stroke
Closed and extended length
Mounting dimensions
Working pressure
Load direction
Cushioning requirements
Port position and thread

Knuckle Boom Cylinder

The knuckle or folding cylinder controls the articulation between boom sections. Compact installation space, pin alignment and movement geometry are important when manufacturing a replacement.

Telescopic Extension Cylinder

Extension cylinders move one or more telescopic boom sections. Depending on the crane design, the system may use a single-stage cylinder, multi-stage cylinder or synchronized extension mechanism.

Key considerations include:

Required extension sequence
Available installation space
Rod straightness
Internal leakage control
Port arrangement
Guidance and wear resistance

Outrigger and Stabilizer Cylinder

Outrigger cylinders extend and support the stabilizer system during crane operation. They may be installed horizontally or vertically and can include load-holding or safety valve requirements.

Slewing and Positioning Cylinder

Some crane and handling systems use hydraulic cylinders for slewing, positioning or attachment movement. Correct mounting geometry and stroke control are essential for reliable replacement.

Tail Lift and Hookloader Cylinder

Hydraulic cylinders used in tail lifts, hookloaders and skiploaders may perform lifting, tilting, sliding, locking or telescopic functions.

Please provide the equipment model and identify the cylinder’s function when requesting a replacement.

Custom-Built Palfinger Hydraulic Cylinder Options

When the original cylinder is no longer available or the part number cannot be confirmed, we can reproduce the cylinder from a technical drawing or physical sample.

Customization options include:

Component	Available Options
Cylinder Type	Single acting, double acting or telescopic
Bore Diameter	Manufactured according to original dimensions
Rod Diameter	Selected according to load and design requirements
Stroke	Reproduced from sample or customer drawing
Cylinder Barrel	Honed steel tube or custom-machined barrel
Piston Rod	Hardened and chrome-plated steel
Mounting	Clevis, eye, trunnion, flange, pin or custom mounting
Hydraulic Ports	BSP, NPT, metric, SAE or custom threads
Seals	Selected according to pressure, oil and temperature
Surface Protection	Painting, coating or project-specific treatment
Additional Options	Cushions, sensors, valves and protective components

Final specifications are confirmed after reviewing the original cylinder or complete technical information.

How We Identify the Correct Replacement Cylinder

Equipment Model

Provide the full Palfinger crane or equipment model, such as the model shown on the machine identification plate.

Cylinder Part Number

Check the cylinder barrel, identification plate, spare-parts manual or previous purchase records for a part number.

Cylinder Function

Tell us whether the cylinder is used for:

Main boom lifting
Knuckle boom movement
Telescopic extension
Outrigger extension
Stabilizer lifting
Hookloader movement
Tail-lift operation
Attachment positioning

Dimensional Information

For accurate identification, provide:

Bore diameter
Rod diameter
Stroke
Retracted length
Extended length
Mounting-center distance
Pin diameter
Mounting width
Port size
Port position

Photos or Physical Sample

Clear photos should show:

Complete cylinder
Both mounting ends
Hydraulic ports
Identification markings
Rod and barrel
Pin dimensions
Installation position

For cylinders without drawings or readable part numbers, a physical sample may be required for reverse engineering.

Hydraulic Cylinder Manufacturing Process

1. Technical Review

We review the equipment model, part number, drawings, photos, measurements and working conditions.

2. Drawing Confirmation

A manufacturing drawing is prepared or checked before production. Critical dimensions, mounting interfaces and port locations are confirmed.

3. Material Preparation

Cylinder tubes, piston rods, forged or machined ends, seals and other components are selected according to the design requirements.

4. Precision Machining

Components may undergo:

CNC turning
CNC milling
Deep-hole machining
Honing
Thread machining
Welding preparation
Grinding and polishing

5. Welding and Assembly

Mounting components and ports are welded according to the approved structure. The cylinder is then cleaned, sealed and assembled.

6. Testing

Finished cylinders can be tested for:

Dimensional conformity
Extension and retraction
Internal leakage
External leakage
Pressure resistance
Stroke performance
Mounting alignment
Surface condition

7. Painting and Packaging

The cylinder receives the agreed surface protection and is packaged to protect the rod, ports and mounting areas during transportation.

Materials and Components

Cylinder Barrel

The cylinder barrel is selected according to operating pressure, wall thickness and welding requirements. The internal surface is honed to support seal performance and smooth piston movement.

Piston Rod

Piston rods can be manufactured from high-strength steel with hardened and chrome-plated surfaces. Rod diameter, straightness and surface quality are selected according to the load and stroke.

Sealing System

Seal selection depends on:

Working pressure
Hydraulic fluid
Operating temperature
Movement speed
Duty cycle
Contamination level
External environment

The sealing system may include piston seals, rod seals, wear rings, guide rings, O-rings and wipers.

Mounting Components

Mounting styles can be reproduced according to the original cylinder, including clevis ends, spherical bearings, pin eyes, trunnions, flanges and welded brackets.

Quality Inspection and Testing

Replacement crane cylinders must provide reliable fit and operation under demanding working conditions.

Our inspection process may include:

Material verification
Barrel bore inspection
Rod diameter and straightness measurement
Mounting-center inspection
Pin-hole measurement
Port thread inspection
Weld appearance inspection
Assembly inspection
No-load functional testing
Pressure and leakage testing
Paint and packaging inspection

Inspection reports or other quality documents can be discussed before production.
