Q1. What Are Tower Crane Hydraulic Cylinders?
Hydraulic cylinders are actuators that convert hydraulic energy into linear mechanical force.
Q2.What is its function in a tower crane?
1.Climbing / Self-Erection – Extending the crane’s height during installation.
2.Luffing (Angling) – Adjusting the jib angle in luffing jib cranes.
3.Slewing Brakes & Locking – Assisting in rotation control and positioning.
4.Outrigger & Stability Systems – Providing support and balance during operation.
Q3. Why Are They So Important?
1.Controlled, Powerful Movement – Smooth extension and retraction under heavy loads.
2.Precise Positioning – Essential for safe load placement and crane alignment.
3.High Force in Compact Spaces – Ideal for tight construction environments.
4.Reliability Under Pressure – Built to handle dynamic loads and harsh conditions.
Q4. Where Are They Used?
1.Tower crane climbing systems
2.Luffing jib angle adjustment
3.Slewing mechanisms and braking
4.Outrigger and stabilizer deployment
5.Heavy-lift and specialized crane configurations

Frequently Asked Questions：
❓ How often should hydraulic cylinders be inspected?
Visual and operational checks should be performed before each use, with detailed inspections every 3–6 months. Look for leaks, seal wear, rod scoring, and misalignment.
❓ Can damaged hydraulic cylinders be repaired?
Yes, many issues like seal replacement or rod refinishing can be repaired. However, cylinders with barrel damage or significant corrosion may require replacement for safety.
❓ Are your cylinders compatible with different crane brands?
We design and manufacture cylinders to meet OEM specifications and also offer custom solutions for retrofitting and compatibility across brands.
❓ What maintenance is required?
Regular maintenance includes checking fluid levels, ensuring clean hydraulic oil, inspecting hoses and connections, and testing cylinder operation under load.
❓ What are signs of hydraulic cylinder failure?
1.Hydraulic fluid leaks
2.Slow or jerky movement
3.Unusual noises during operation
4.Rod corrosion or pitting
5.Loss of holding pressure
