What Are Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders?
Single-acting hydraulic cylinders extend under hydraulic pressure and retract by spring return or load force. Their straightforward, efficient design makes them ideal for applications requiring controlled force in one direction.
The RLS500S – 50 Ton Low Profile Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder is engineered for heavy lifting in extremely confined spaces. Its low collapsed height allows operators to position high-capacity lifting power where traditional cylinders simply will not fit—making it a preferred solution for demanding industrial and construction environments.
Renting a 50-ton low-profile cylinder like the RLS500S gives contractors and maintenance teams access to immense lifting force without the expense, storage, or upkeep associated with ownership.
