Delivering an exceptional 1,400-ton lifting capacity with a 14-inch stroke, this custom center hole (hollow plunger) cylinder is ideally suited for bridge construction, large-scale infrastructure projects, offshore operations, power generation facilities, and heavy industrial maintenance. Its double acting hydraulic design provides precise powered extension and controlled retraction, allowing operators to position massive loads safely and accurately.
The WB Equipment WB1400DC 1400 Ton Custom Center Hole Double Acting Cylinder with 14 in Stroke is an ultra-high-capacity hydraulic cylinder engineered for the world’s most demanding heavy lifting, structural jacking, and tensioning applications. Its center hole (hollow plunger) design enables threaded bars, cables, or prestressing tendons to pass directly through the cylinder, making it ideal for post-tensioning, bridge construction, and synchronized lifting systems.
The double acting hydraulic system provides powered extension and controlled hydraulic retraction, allowing operators to accurately position, lift, lower, and tension extremely heavy loads. Designed for integration with high-pressure hydraulic systems, the WB1400DC delivers exceptional strength, precision, and reliability for critical infrastructure and industrial projects.
