Lifting heavy loads of often several tons in order to transport, position or align them using single acting hydraulic cylinders is an extremely stress for all hydraulic parts. Depending on the application, the loads to be lifted may vary significantly and may include machines in workshops, large transformers or structural components.
For lifting heavy and above all extensive loads, several cylinders are usually used simultaneously. It is not uncommon that this results in additional demands being made on the synchronization of the cylinders.
