Hydraulic cylinders
Hydraulic Cylinders
At MPH Kft., we offer a wide range of hydraulic cylinders, primarily telescopic tipping cylinders available in both underbody and front-mounted versions. Our selection includes original Meiller cylinders, sourced directly from the manufacturer, ensuring maximum reliability and long service life.
We also provide overhaul and repair services for used hydraulic cylinders and, if necessary, replace them with new ones. This allows us to offer our customers cost-effective and safe solutions tailored to their needs.
For municipal vehicles, we particularly recommend our double-acting hydraulic cylinders, which deliver high performance and long-lasting operation even under intensive use.

Hydraulic Cylinders, Telescopic and Double-Acting Solutions
Hydraulic cylinders are essential components of hydraulic systems, as they convert pressure into mechanical movement. They are available in several designs, such as double-acting, single-acting, and telescopic cylinders. Double-acting cylinders can exert force in both directions, making them ideal for operating cranes, rotary systems, or stabilizers. Single-acting cylinders are mainly used where the return motion is provided by gravity or a spring. Telescopic cylinders are the most common solution for tipper trucks, as they provide long strokes in compact spaces, with up to 6–7 stages and extensions of up to 9 meters.
Placement and Operating Pressure of Hydraulic Cylinders
In tipper body applications, cylinders can be mounted under the body, allowing three-way tipping, or in a front-mounted position, designed for high-performance rear tipping. When choosing the right cylinder, it is important to consider the working pressure and tank capacity. Smaller cylinders may require only 30 liters of hydraulic oil, while front-mounted cylinders often need up to 150 liters. An undersized tank can lead to malfunction and pump damage, so the capacity must always match the system’s requirements.
Different manufacturers use varying operating pressures. Meiller, Neumeister, Penta, and Georg typically offer high-pressure systems around 250–275 bar, while Edbro or Hyva have traditionally worked with lower values of 150–180 bar. With advances in steel quality and manufacturing technology, many low-pressure systems are now rated for higher pressures. However, excessive pressure still poses risks: telescopic cylinders may deform, seals may be forced out, and the platform could collapse, leading to serious damage or injury. For this reason, pressure relief valves and end-stop controls are always recommended.
At MPH Kft., our hydraulic cylinder range covers telescopic, single-acting, and double-acting solutions. Our selection includes original Meiller cylinders, and we also provide refurbishment and repair services, as well as replacement with new components when required. For municipal vehicles, we offer robust double-acting cylinders that ensure reliable performance under heavy-duty use.
