The WB Equipment WB500DCR 500 Ton Custom Center Hole Double Acting Cylinder with 6 in Stroke is a high-tonnage hydraulic cylinder engineered for demanding lifting, pulling, and tensioning applications in the construction, infrastructure, mining, and heavy industrial sectors. Featuring a 500-ton lifting capacity, 6-inch stroke, and a custom center hole (hollow plunger) design, it is ideally suited for bridge maintenance, structural steel erection, post-tensioning, heavy equipment installation, and precision alignment projects. Its double acting hydraulic operation provides both powered extension and powered retraction, delivering exceptional load control and positioning accuracy for critical heavy lifting operations. It is an ideal rental solution for contractors requiring reliable, high-capacity hydraulic equipment for challenging job sites.
The WB Equipment WB500DCR 500 Ton Custom Center Hole Double Acting Cylinder is designed to generate controlled hydraulic force for lifting, pulling, structural jacking, and tensioning operations. Its center hole (hollow plunger) allows threaded bars, steel tendons, anchor rods, or cables to pass directly through the cylinder, making it ideal for applications where lifting and tensioning must be performed simultaneously. The double acting design provides hydraulic power for both extension and retraction, allowing improved control, faster cycle times, and precise positioning of heavy loads during critical lifting operations.
