What Is a Hydraulic Ram?
A hydraulic ram is typically a large single-acting hydraulic cylinder designed to extend under pressure and return via gravity or load. These rams are built for high force, heavy loads, and demanding environments.
Common applications include:
Dump trucks and dump trailers
Refuse trucks
Vehicle lifts and hoists
Industrial presses
Heavy construction and agricultural equipment
Because of their size and duty cycle, hydraulic rams require specialized repair—not every cylinder shop is set up to handle them.

For large single-acting hydraulic rams, repair is usually the smarter option. In most cases:
