Hydraulic Cylinder Catalog: Types, Sizes and Specifications
This catalog lists 524 hydraulic cylinder models from HCIC, covering the machines that keep farms, fleets and municipalities running: agricultural machinery, dump trailers, snow plows and platform hoists. Every model appears with its full bore, stroke and force data — no registration, no download gate. HCIC has built cylinders this way since 1998, quotes within 48 hours, and takes orders from one piece up.

How to choose a cylinder family
Bore sets the thrust at your system pressure, stroke sets the travel, and the closed length must fit your mounting envelope — every table in this catalog lists all of them side by side. Match the machine type first: welded and tie-rod cylinders for agricultural machinery, single-acting cylinders for snow plows, telescopic and underbody cylinders for tipping bodies, scissor hoist cylinders for dump bodies and platforms. Then open the category page and read bore × stroke × closed length against your old cylinder.
About HCIC
Since 1998, HCIC has built hydraulic cylinders at three plants and one R&D center, producing 210,000 cylinders a year with a team of 250+ including 20+ engineers. 95% of output is exported, every cylinder ships with an 18-month warranty, and quotations are returned within 48 hours — with a minimum order of just one piece.

Frequently asked questions
What types of hydraulic cylinders does HCIC manufacture?
Six families: welded double-acting (HCL, HBU, HTG), tie-rod double-acting (HTR, HTH), single-acting snow plow (HSP), telescopic dump (HTC), underbody tipping (L130, L105, L90, L75) and scissor hoist (HHT) — 524 standard models in total. All are built in HCIC's own plants and quoted within 48 hours.
What is the difference between welded and tie-rod cylinders?
Welded cylinders have the barrel welded to the end caps, giving a smaller outside envelope; tie-rod cylinders hold the barrel between end caps with four rods, so seals and rods can be serviced in the field. HCIC builds both with bores up to 127 mm (5.00 in) at ratings from 17.2 to 20.7 MPa (2500–3000 PSI).
How do I choose the right bore and stroke for my application?
Bore sets the thrust at your system pressure, stroke sets the travel, and the closed length must fit your mounting envelope. Every table in this catalog lists bore, stroke, thrust and closed length side by side, so all three checks happen in one place.
What is a single-acting cylinder?
A single-acting cylinder has one port: hydraulic pressure extends the rod, and the load's own weight retracts it. This is the standard lift arrangement on snow plows — HCIC's HSP series lists 16 such models rated at 17.2 MPa (2500 PSI).
Does HCIC build cylinders from OEM drawings?
Yes. Send your drawing or your old cylinder's dimensions, and HCIC's team of 20+ engineers will confirm feasibility and return a quotation within 48 hours. Custom sizes are available from a minimum order of one piece — sample orders welcome.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
The minimum order is one piece, and every cylinder ships with an 18-month warranty. Quotations — including delivery time for your model and quantity — are returned within 48 hours, backed by a production capacity of 210,000 cylinders per year.
