Railroad

Railways are the main arteries of a nations industrial body. The hydraulic cylinders used on rail transit vehicles, rail freight cars, and the vehicles and equipment used to maintain the rail system must be reliable.

Rail transport vehicles and track maintenance equipment are exposed to all sorts of environmental conditions and the cylinders used must be tough enough to endure these.

These conditions include:

• Extreme Heat
• Extreme Cold
• Rain and Moisture
• Sand and Grit
• Chemical Exposure
• Vibration and Jarring

Hyco cylinders are used the world over on railway vehicles because they are custom engineered to meet the difficult conditions experienced on railroad applications.
