High Force Without the Steel-Cylinder Weight
Enerpac aluminum cylinders provide a high capacity-to-weight ratio for applications where cylinder portability and handling matter. Available designs include general-purpose, double-acting, lock nut and hollow-plunger cylinders.
Designed for Portability & Industrial Field Work
Enerpac aluminum cylinders are designed for applications where high hydraulic force is required but cylinder weight and handling are important considerations. They are especially useful where cylinders must be carried, repositioned or transported frequently.
Aluminum construction reduces handling weight while maintaining substantial hydraulic lifting capacity.
High-strength aluminum components provide a combination of portability and industrial lifting performance.
Hard-Coat treated surfaces help resist wear, galling and surface damage during industrial use.
Composite bearing materials reduce metal-to-metal contact and help improve cylinder life and resistance to side-loading effects.
Aluminum cylinders can be especially useful for bridge, rail, construction, remote-site and field-maintenance work where equipment must be moved by hand.
Choose from single-acting, double-acting, lock nut, single-acting hollow and double-acting hollow designs.
Aluminum and Steel Cylinders Are Not Interchangeable for Every Job
Aluminum cylinders have a finite fatigue life and are not intended for high-cycle production applications. They are intended primarily for lifting and maintenance-type use.
The aluminum cylinder family is designed around approximately 5,000 cycles at the recommended operating pressure. Do not treat an aluminum cylinder as a continuous-production cylinder.
Where a steel base plate is fitted, it protects the aluminum cylinder base from abrasive surfaces and load-induced damage. It should remain installed.
Base mounting holes used to secure the protective steel plate are not designed to withstand full cylinder capacity and should not be used to attach lifting devices.

Cylinder tonnage is commonly used as a capacity-class reference. For load calculations and hydraulic system selection, use the listed maximum capacity for the exact cylinder model rather than relying on the class name alone.

RARH cylinders may be used for tensioning, testing, pulling, pushing, equipment maintenance and controlled field operations where a hollow plunger and rapid powered retraction are both required.
Applications for Enerpac RARH Cylinders
Lightweight double-acting hollow cylinders can support construction, infrastructure, mining, oil and gas, heavy equipment, utilities and field-maintenance operations.
These are common examples and are not an exhaustive list. Enerpac RARH aluminum hollow plunger cylinders may also be used in other pulling, pushing, testing, tensioning and positioning applications where the required force, stroke, center-hole diameter and hydraulic controls are suitable.
RARH Series Features
- Lighter and shorter collapsed height than equivalent RACH models.
- Double-acting operation provides rapid hydraulic retraction.
- Hollow plunger allows both pulling and pushing forces.
- Built-in safety valve helps protect against accidental over-pressurization.
- Hard-Coat finish helps resist wear and damage.
- Handles and CR400 couplers with dust caps are included on all models.
- Floating center tube helps increase seal life.
- Steel base plate and saddle protect against load-induced damage.
- Integral stop ring helps prevent plunger over-travel.
RARH cylinders require a pump and directional control arrangement suitable for double-acting operation.
Base holes are intended for securing the protective steel base plate and are not designed to withstand full cylinder force.

A Quick Starting Point
Start with RAC for portable single-acting lifting and positioning.
Compare RAR for double-acting control and faster hydraulic return.
RACL adds a lock nut for extended mechanical load support.
RACH provides a hollow plunger with single-acting spring return.
RARH combines a hollow plunger with double-acting hydraulic control.
Compare a steel cylinder series instead of the aluminum family.
Portable Hydraulic Power for Field & Maintenance Work
Aluminum cylinders are especially useful when the hydraulic cylinder must be carried into position, moved repeatedly or used in locations where handling a heavier steel cylinder would be difficult.
Useful where cylinders need to be moved between work positions.
Reduced handling weight can simplify field setup and transportation.
Portable cylinders can be easier to position around large equipment.
Lower equipment weight can matter where access is difficult.
Suitable for many temporary lifting and positioning tasks.
Useful when hydraulic tools must be moved repeatedly around a facility.
Match the Aluminum Cylinder With the Correct Hydraulic System
Cylinder capacity is only one part of the setup. The hydraulic pump must provide the required pressure and oil volume, and hoses, couplers, gauges and valves must match the selected cylinder type.
Match pressure, usable oil capacity, flow and operating style.
Use compatible high-pressure hose for the selected cylinder and pump arrangement.
Confirm coupler style before connecting aluminum cylinders to existing hydraulic equipment.
Monitor hydraulic pressure and reduce the risk of cylinder overload.
Double-acting RAR and RARH cylinders require suitable directional hydraulic control.
Use the proper saddle and protective base arrangement for the exact aluminum cylinder model.
Check the Complete Application
Determine the actual load and divide it correctly across all lifting points before selecting cylinder capacity.
Measure the required movement and available clearance rather than selecting stroke by guesswork.
Decide whether spring return is sufficient or if powered hydraulic retraction is required.
Hollow-plunger cylinders are required when rod, cable or another component must pass through the center.
If the load must remain mechanically supported, compare the RACL lock nut series rather than relying on hydraulic pressure alone.
Confirm the pump has sufficient usable hydraulic oil for the selected cylinder and stroke.
