How much stroke does this cylinder have?

About 1.6 in, based on the 4.74 in collapsed height and 6.36 in maximum height. That is short, so plan on cribbing or spacers for longer pushes.

What tonnage is it rated for?

The listed specs give bore-related figures but no tonnage rating. Ask the seller for the working pressure rating before relying on it for heavy straightening.

What does the 2-3/4-16 collar thread fit?

It is a standard collar thread used on many small hydraulic rams and attachments. Measure your existing collar and confirm the thread before ordering.

Is it worth it over a name-brand ram?

For occasional light work, yes, if the price is well below a brand-name equivalent. For daily professional use, a branded cylinder with a published tonnage rating and warranty is the safer buy.

What comes in the box?

Typically just the cylinder itself. Hoses, pumps, gauges and attachments are usually sold separately, so confirm the contents with the seller.

Prices on generic hydraulic parts move with listings and stock. Compare across stores and buy when the landed price is clearly below the usual range.

Our take on the Value Collection Portable Hydraulic Cylinder 4.70 cu in

This is a short-travel portable hydraulic cylinder with a 4.70 cu in oil capacity, a 4.74 in collapsed height and a 6.36 in maximum height, so it gives roughly 1.6 in of stroke. The 1.38 in rod and 2-3/4-16 collar thread suit light shop and body work where a compact, low-profile ram is needed. It is a generic Value Collection part made in Taiwan, sold on price rather than brand support. No current store price was provided, so check the live comparison before buying.
