Durable Hydraulic Cylinders for Waste and Utility Vehicles Worldwide

Global waste management is becoming increasingly important. Over the years, transport and waste vehicles have evolved into highly specialized systems that perform their work reliably under all weather conditions and road surfaces. With over 70 years of experience in this industry, the Montanhydraulik Group has developed reliable cylinder designs that meet the tough demands of these challenging applications.

Standardized, proven materials and components ensure the long-term durability and cost-efficiency of our hydraulic cylinders. From standardized piston cylinders to specialized telescopic cylinders with up to six stages, our engineers have the right solution for you. Our experienced team carefully accompanies each project from clarifying your requirements through design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, delivery, and after-sales service to ensure the success of your application.

Both on- and off-road, special vehicles such as dump trucks and utility vehicles for commercial applications are equipped with hydraulic lift, steering, and boom cylinders that support their specific purposes. This places special demands on the functionality and reliability of the hydraulic cylinders as well as their ability to meet current and future market requirements with precision.

Additionally, municipal, communal, and commercial waste vehicles are on the roads of the world 365 days a year. Given a growing world population, this calls for more reliable and efficient waste disposal systems. The integration of hydraulic cylinders into waste disposal has not only reduced the time required for waste collection but also increased the capacity of available vehicles.

Application Example: For various waste vehicle models, the Montanhydraulik Group develops a considerable number of custom cylinders, such as tailgate and arm lift cylinders, fork and upper flap cylinders, as well as pack and slide cylinders.
