Ezy-Fit Hydraulics designs and manufactures industrial and agricultural grade hydraulic cylinders for a wide range of industries, including mining, forestry, and government.

Hydraulic cylinders for industrial applications

Ezy-Fit Hydraulics’s custom-designed cylinders are tailored towards the design requirements of the client’s application, as well as various environmental conditions.

Cylinders are used in underground mining equipment, elevating work platforms, transport and conveyor equipment, hay presses, aircraft loaders and coal gas reclamation systems.

Hydraulic cylinders are available in a series of mounts and designs, as well as features such as positioning sensors and rod end connections.

Medium to heavy-duty industrial hydraulic cylinders

Ezy-Fit Hydraulics creates a wide range of hydraulic cylinders that are implemented in applications throughout Australia, including a standard range of medium-duty agricultural cylinders and a 3,000psi design pressure industrial range.

Typical applications for hydraulic cylinders include:

• Cranes
• Front end loader and forklift attachments
• Coal stacker reclaimer systems
• Mill relining machines
• Transportable elevated work platforms
• Bucket wheel excavators
• Surface miners
• Mobile and semi-mobile crushing systems
• Scissor lifts
• Custom-built cylinder valve blocks

Ezy-Fit Hydraulics custom-designs various types of valves to complement a client’s cylinder design and circuit specifications.

All valve blocks are manufactured in-house on computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) multi-axis machine centres and a variety of cavity tools to suit different valve cartridge brands and flow rate requirements.

Valve blocks can be mounted or welded directly to the cylinder or piston rod end, which eliminates possible leak points while enhancing strength and reliability.

Tube lines can be permanently welded or fitted with removable threaded connections to facilitate service work.
