Questions and answers

Is 12 tons enough for my dump trailer?
It depends on the bed and load. A 12-ton cylinder handles many single-axle and light tandem dump trailers, but check the trailer maker's rated cylinder before buying. Heavier beds and full loads may need more capacity.
What does single acting mean here?
Hydraulic pressure extends the cylinder; the load's weight pushes it back down. There is no powered retract, so the bed or arm must be able to fall on its own.
How long is it retracted and extended?
It extends to 112.75 inches with the full 78-inch stroke, so the retracted length is about 34.75 inches. Confirm clearance in your frame before ordering.
Will the trunnion mount fit my equipment?
Only if your frame has matching trunnion pins and saddles. Measure pin diameter and spacing against the cylinder's trunnion before buying; this is not a pin-eye cylinder.
What is in the box?
The cylinder itself. Hoses, fittings, pins and mounting hardware are generally sold separately, so plan for those if you are replacing an old unit.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price was $878.70 at Surplus Center as of November 4, 2026. Surplus and hydraulic supply sellers tend to price these lower than general equipment dealers, so compare both stores before buying.
Where is the Maxim 12 Ton Single Acting Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder, 3 Stage, 78 in Stroke cheapest?
