Enerpac low height hydraulic cylinders are designed for lifting, positioning, and maintenance applications where standard cylinders will not fit. Their compact profiles provide high lifting force in confined spaces, making them ideal for machinery positioning, structural work, maintenance, bridge applications, and other low-clearance jobs.
This collection includes low-height, pancake, ultra-flat, telescopic, and low-profile lock nut cylinder designs. Choose the series that best matches the available clearance, required lifting capacity, stroke, and load-holding requirements.
Enerpac Low Height Cylinder Options
- RSM Series: Compact, single-acting low-height cylinders for tight spaces and short-stroke lifting.
- RCS Series: Low-height hydraulic cylinders with additional stroke for applications where clearance remains limited.
- CULP Series: Ultra-flat pancake cylinders with a stop ring for extremely low-clearance applications.
- CUSP Series: Ultra-flat, high-capacity pancake cylinders for applications requiring maximum force from a very low profile.
- RLT Series: Low-height telescopic cylinders that provide increased stroke while maintaining a compact collapsed height.
- LPL Series: Low-profile lock nut cylinders for applications requiring mechanical load holding.
Choosing a Low Height Hydraulic Cylinder
Start with the available collapsed height, then compare the lifting capacity and stroke required for the job. When clearance is extremely limited, CULP and CUSP pancake cylinders provide the lowest profiles. RLT telescopic cylinders provide additional travel in confined spaces, while LPL cylinders add mechanical load holding for applications where a lifted load must remain supported.
For heavier lifting applications with more available clearance, browse our High Tonnage Hydraulic Cylinders. If mechanical load holding is required, see our Lock Nut Hydraulic Cylinders.
