Side Shift Hydraulic Cylinders For Small Forklift Use Cases:

• Warehousing: Perfect for narrow aisles and high-density storage.
• Construction: Ideal for precise material placement on job sites.
• Manufacturing: Enhances efficiency in assembly line operations.

How Side Shift Hydraulic Cylinders Work?

Side shift hydraulic cylinders operate by using hydraulic pressure to move the forklift’s carriage laterally. When the operator activates the control lever, hydraulic fluid is pumped into the cylinder, pushing the piston and causing the carriage to shift left or right. This lateral movement allows for precise load positioning without needing to reposition the entire forklift. The system is designed to be smooth and responsive, ensuring minimal effort from the operator while maximizing accuracy.

Key Components:

• Cylinder Barrel: Houses the piston and hydraulic fluid.
• Piston Rod: Transmits force to move the carriage.
• Hydraulic Seals: Prevent fluid leakage and ensure efficient operation.
• Control Valve: Regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid for precise movement.

Forklift Cylinder Production Area:

We have a first-class independent R&D platform for assembly. The forklift cylinder production workshop has four semi-automatic lifting cylinder assembly lines and a fully automatic tilting cylinder assembly line with a designed annual production capacity of million pieces. The special cylinder workshop has semi-automatic cleaning and assembly systems of various specifications with a designed annual production capacity of 200000 pieces. It is equipped with famous brand CNC machining equipment， machining centers， special equipment for high-precision cylinder processing， robot welding machines， automatic cleaning machines， automatic cylinder assembly machines, and automatic paint production lines. We have more than 300 sets of key equipment running. The optimized allocation and efficient utilization of equipment resources ensure the precision requirements of the products and meet the high standard quality requirements of the products.

The machining shop is equipped with custom-made tilt guiderailturning centers， machining centers, high-speed honing machines， welding robots, and other relevant equipment， which can handle the machining work of cylinder tubes with 400mm Max ID and 6 meters of Max length.

We have a fully automatic water-based paint coating line for small and medium cylinders, which realizes automatic loading and unloading and automatic spraying robots with a designed production capacity of 4000 places per shift. We have another semi-automatic painting line for large-scale cylinders driven by a power chain, and the design capacity is 60 crates per shift.

To further improve product performance and establish the leadership position of our hydraulic cylinders in the industry, our company and zjimee jointly established a Comprehensive performance laboratory of hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic valves, and hydraulic pumps; the lab is computer-assisted testing using electro-hydraulic technology, the test conditions are preset by a computer which improves the test accuracy and system versatility, and the experimental data.

The automatic collection is realized through the application of sensors， and the output data, such as the internal leakage and load efficiency of the cylinder or the vale, are directly processed by the computer and converted to standard units (ml/min%). At the same time, to ensure the working safety of the hydraulic system, the state monitoring function is carried out for key performance parameters such as”oil temperature monitoring, liquid level monitoring, filter device monitoring,” etc. Among them， the hydraulic cylinder test stand can test the performance of the “load
efficiency “and” internal leakage” by readings. At the same time, it is equipped with a grating ruler measuring instrument that meets the requirements of all test items of hydraulic cylinder products according to the national standard.
