Determine cylinder force needed. | This is the initial force needed to lift a load.
Approx. initial Load (LBS.) x "A"
cylinder force = "B"
Example
45,000# x 80" = 22,500# of force
160" to start the lift.
NOTE: For a good design, the pressure on the first ram at the start of the lift should not exceed 800 P.S.I.

Determine cylinder stroke needed. |
The tables and formula below will give you the required cylinder stroke for a dump angle.
Approx. Stroke = "B" x "D"
Example: 160" (B) x .845 (D) = 135" stroke |
 |
| unit of measure = inches
A = Center of load to dump body hinge (in inches)
B = Length in inches, cylinder base pin to body hinge pin
C = Stroke
D = Dump angle
E = Center of load
F = Hinge | |
