LATEST GO-ANYWHERE ENERPAC
ALUMINIUM CYLINDERS
Global advanced
industrial tools
and services
leader, Enerpac,
is extending
the versatility of its RAC-Series
lightweight aluminium cylinder
range, with new 10t and 15t
models for smaller lifts requiring
outstanding portability and powerto
weight ratios.
The cylinders, with strokes from 50-
250mm, weigh from just 1.3-2.0kg
for the new 10-ton models and 1.9-
2.9kg for the new 15-ton models,
through to a maximum of 41.3 kg for
the range-topping 150-ton models.
“The new 10t and 15t models,
which further extend the range, are
particularly useful for maintenance
tasks, and in situations where they
need to be moved from job to job,”
says Enerpac Asia-Pacific marketing
manager, Tony Cooper.
The RAC-Series has been
proven globally for years on lifts
between 20 and 150 tonnes,
where it provides the same lifting
performance and safety in half the
weight of equivalent steel hydraulic
cylinders.
Frequently used in workshops,
fabrication and manufacturing
applications, Enerpac’s range of
RAC single-acting, spring return
aluminium cylinders are one of
the most widely used ranges in
Australasia.
“Cylinders often need to be carried
for field maintenance, elevated
platform work, up stairs or across
processing plants. The light weight
and outstanding portability of
the RAC-Series cylinders are
highly valuable in these situations,
especially on remote sites, where
they may need to be carried in by air
or 4wd,” says Mr Cooper.
The aluminium versions are also
perfect for mounting on machines
or applications where the weight
of the hydraulic components
is important. Because of their
weight, aluminium hydraulic
components can be more easily
moved or removed for maintenance
and repair. Their non-magnetic
properties can also be useful in
uses around high technology,
equipment and magnetically or
electronically sensitive instruments
and applications in resources,
processing and exploration.
