RC-156 15 Ton Single Acting Cylinder, Enerpac RC Cylinders Cut Sheet

Tough conditions demand tougher tools. The RC156 features a durable alloy steel body, a baked enamel finish for corrosion resistance, and a hardened removable saddle that protects the piston during rugged use. Its collar thread and base mounting holes make installation and securing simple—even on uneven surfaces.

Weighing just 13.7 lbs (6.2 kg), this cylinder is portable enough for mobile repair trucks, remote job sites, and emergency service applications. It's not just a cylinder—it's your go-to lift solution wherever the work takes you.

Real-World Use Case: Field Repair on a 20-Ton Dump Truck

Picture this: You're dispatched to a construction site where a 20-ton dump truck has suffered a rear axle failure. Space is tight. Weather is bad. You only brought essential gear. With the RC156 and a compact hand pump, you're able to safely raise the axle, remove the failed part, and install the replacement—all without needing heavy equipment.

That's the kind of reliability and performance that makes the RC156 an industry favorite.
