Hydraulic Rams in NZ

Overview

(also known as hydraulic cylinders) are high-performance linear actuators engineered to deliver powerful force using pressurised hydraulic fluid. Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, these systems convert hydraulic energy into controlled mechanical motion for lifting, pushing, and positioning operations.

In New Zealand’s demanding sectors—construction, agriculture, forestry, and marine— it play a critical role in ensuring precision, durability, and operational efficiency. Their robust construction, high load capacity, and adaptability make them essential for modern machinery and equipment

Technical Insight

A hydraulic ram operates by forcing pressurised fluid into a cylinder, moving a piston and generating linear force. This mechanism allows precise control and significant power output in compact systems.
