Snowplow Hydraulic Cylinders
Reduce Downtime With New Snowplow Cylinders
When there is snow to be plowed, be sure your equipment is ready for the job with new hydraulic snowplow cylinders from RuggedMade.
Designed to withstand the toughest winter conditions, these single-acting snowplow cylinders feature tempered steel barrels, high tensile chrome-plated steel rods, and durable polyurethane seals
How do I know what size snowplow hydraulic cylinder I need?
To determine the correct replacement cylinder, measure the bore diameter, stroke length, rod diameter, and mounting pin size on your current setup. If your original cylinder is damaged or missing, you can measure the mounting points on the plow frame and angle arms. RuggedMade snowplow cylinders are available in commonly used sizes, such as 1.5" bore with 10" or 12" stroke, to fit many popular plow configurations.
How do I choose the right hydraulic cylinder for my snowplow?
Choosing the right snowplow cylinder starts with matching the bore size, and mounting pin spacing to your current system. If you are replacing an existing cylinder, use its measurements as your baseline. If the cylinder is missing, measure directly on the plow’s lift arm or angle frame. Once you have your measurements, compare them to the sizing details listed on RuggedMade’s cylinder product pages to ensure proper fit and function.
How do I measure stroke length on a hydraulic cylinder?
Stroke length is the distance the piston rod travels from fully retracted to fully extended. RuggedMade provides a step-by-step cylinder measurement guide that explains where to measure the bore, rod, stroke, and pin spacing to ensure a proper match.
What are RuggedMade snowplow cylinders made of?
RuggedMade cylinders feature tempered steel barrels, high tensile chrome-plated steel rods, and durable polyurethane seals. These components are built to withstand corrosion, cold weather operation, and repeated angling and lifting cycles during snow removal.
Are RuggedMade snowplow cylinders compatible with major plow brands?
Many RuggedMade cylinders are sized with standard pin mounts, bore dimensions, and stroke lengths commonly found on popular snowplow brands including Fisher, Western, Meyer, Boss, Curtis, SnowDogg, and more, depending on size and mounting style. Refer to the product’s description to confirm compatibility with a specific manufacturer, or compare your cylinder’s measurements to the specifications listed on each product page.
What are the main differences between various snowplow hydraulic cylinders?
Snowplow hydraulic cylinders differ mainly in bore size, and mounting pin configuration. The bore size affects the lifting or angling force, while the stroke determines how far the plow can move. Rod diameter contributes to strength and durability under heavy load, and pin size/mounting style ensures proper fit on the plow’s frame and angle arms. Choosing the correct combination of these dimensions is essential for compatibility and performance.
What is the maximum working pressure for RuggedMade snowplow cylinders?
Most RuggedMade snowplow hydraulic cylinders are rated for up to 3,000 PSI maximum working pressure. Each cylinder is pressure tested to 1.5× the normal working pressure to help ensure safe and reliable operation in demanding winter conditions.
Can I upgrade to a stronger or larger snowplow cylinder for better plow performance?
Yes. Upgrading to a larger bore cylinder can increase lifting and angling power. However, you must ensure your hydraulic pump output can support the increased force, the mounting dimensions match your plow arms and the system remains balanced for safe and efficient operation.
Why is my snowplow cylinder leaking hydraulic fluid?
Leaks can occur due to worn seals, corrosion, dented rods, or over-pressurization. In most cases, replacing the cylinder is more cost-effective than rebuilding it. RuggedMade cylinders use high-quality seals designed to withstand winter conditions.
When should I replace a snowplow hydraulic cylinder instead of repairing it?
If the rod is bent, pitted, or corroded, or if the cylinder consistently leaks hydraulic fluid even after seal replacement, it is generally more cost-effective to replace the cylinder. RuggedMade cylinders are ready to install and designed to offer long-lasting performance.
