Mining

Mining equipment is continually subjected to tortuous conditions including dust, grit, heat, cold, and moisture. Above ground, open pit mines and aggregate quarries also demand rugged hydraulic actuators. These conditions are aggravated even more when the mine is located in remote areas far from suppliers or repair facilities. These actuators must be tough!

Hyco cylinders are designed and precision built to endure these very difficult conditions. Hydraulic cylinders used in mines will encounter heat, moisture, dust, grit, and the rough service that comes with handling rock and ore. Hyco custom designs cylinders for mining equipment so that the actuators will endure these hardships and provide the user with a long service life.

Hyco supplies both telescopic and rod cylinders for ore crushers, rock crushers, rigid haulers, articulated haulers, off road dump trucks, bucket loaders, ore conveyors, hydraulic shovels, rock drills, underground loaders (LHD'S), coal loaders, aggregate conveyors and tunnel boring machines.

We have gained a well deserved reputation as the leader in this field. For this reason, you can find Hyco cylinders in surface and under surface mining operations all around the world.

We manufacture both rod cylinders and telescopic cylinders, double and single acting, in bore sizes from 1" up to 28".
