Grain Tank Lifting Cylinder<\/h2>\n

Double-Acting | 65mm Bore | 607mm Stroke | Model HCYY11112016<\/p>\n

Engineered for combine harvesters & grain handling equipment operating across UK farms and agricultural estates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"GrainThe grain tank lifting cylinder is a precision hydraulic component built specifically for the demanding environment of combine harvester grain tank management. When a combine operator needs to tilt the grain tank for maintenance access, inspection, or full cleaning between harvests, this cylinder delivers the controlled, repeatable force that keeps downtime to an absolute minimum. Across the British agricultural landscape \u2014 from the barley fields of East Anglia to the wheat belts of Yorkshire \u2014 reliability during harvest season is non-negotiable, and a single hydraulic failure can cost a contracting business thousands of pounds in lost output per day.<\/p>\n

With 18-plus years of specialised hydraulic cylinder application engineering behind every unit we manufacture, this grain tank lifting cylinder is produced to meet the rigorous duty cycles of modern high-capacity combines. The double-acting design gives operators positive control in both the extend and retract directions, unlike single-acting alternatives that rely purely on gravity or spring return. That matters enormously when the tank is loaded with residual grain or the machine is parked on uneven ground \u2014 both common realities in British field conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why This Cylinder Outperforms Generic Alternatives<\/h2>\n

Validated across UK agricultural OEM supply chains and independent machinery dealers.<\/p>\n

Double-Acting Precision Control<\/h3>\n

Hydraulic pressure drives both extension and retraction, giving operators confident, smooth tank movement in any field orientation \u2014 critical when combines park on sloping ground or carry residual grain loads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udcc8<\/div>\n

High Pressure Rating \u2014 16.7 MPa Working<\/h3>\n

A working pressure of 16.7 MPa and maximum withstand pressure of 24.5 MPa means the grain tank lifting cylinder handles surge loads without seal failure \u2014 the kind of load spikes that destroy cheap imports mid-harvest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udd2d<\/div>\n

65mm Bore \u2014 Optimised Force-to-Weight Ratio<\/h3>\n

The 65mm bore diameter is carefully calculated to generate ample lifting force for full grain tank loads while keeping the 18 kg unit weight low enough for straightforward field replacement by a two-person maintenance crew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udd12<\/div>\n

Robust Sealing for Dusty Harvest Conditions<\/h3>\n

Grain dust, chaff, and fine silica particles are the enemy of any hydraulic cylinder seal system. The wiper seals and rod surface finish on this unit are specifically chosen to exclude contamination during open-air combine harvester operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udd28<\/div>\n

Direct OEM-Compatible Mounting Dimensions<\/h3>\n

Installation distance of 823mm aligns with the mounting points found on leading combine harvester platforms, allowing quick like-for-like replacement without any fabrication work or bracket modification in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u26a1<\/div>\n

Corrosion-Resistant Surface Treatment<\/h3>\n

Stored outdoors or in partially open farm buildings through wet British winters, agricultural cylinders face punishing humidity and temperature cycles. Chrome-plated rod surfaces and treated end caps resist rust formation during extended off-season storage periods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How It Works, What It’s Made Of & Where It’s Used<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

\u25b6 Working Principle<\/h3>\n

This grain tank lifting cylinder operates on the standard double-acting hydraulic principle. Pressurised hydraulic oil is directed alternately to the cap-end port and the rod-end port via the combine harvester’s hydraulic control valve. When oil enters the cap-end, the rod extends, pushing the grain tank upward. When the operator reverses the valve, oil fills the rod-end chamber and the rod retracts positively under pressure, lowering the tank in a controlled manner. The 607mm stroke provides exactly the travel needed to clear all internal access panels. A cushioning arrangement at both end-of-stroke positions absorbs impact energy and protects the mounting brackets from shock loads that accumulate rapidly over thousands of actuation cycles across a long harvest season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u25b6 Materials<\/h3>\n

The cylinder barrel is cold-drawn seamless steel tube, honed to an internal surface roughness that maximises seal life while minimising stick-slip at low speeds. The piston rod is high-strength carbon steel, hard chrome plated to a minimum depth that withstands abrasive crop dust without micro-pitting. All seals are polyurethane-based compounds selected for compatibility with standard ISO 46 and ISO 68 hydraulic oils commonly used in UK farm machinery. End caps are precision-machined from ductile iron, providing the thread engagement strength necessary for the 24.5 MPa withstand pressure rating. External surfaces receive an epoxy primer followed by a polyurethane topcoat for long-term outdoor corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u25b6 Application Scenarios<\/h3>\n

The grain tank lifting cylinder is the correct replacement unit for combine harvesters operating in wheat, barley, oilseed rape, and maize harvesting operations across England, Scotland, and Wales. It suits both large estate farm fleets and agricultural contracting businesses managing multiple machines. Dealers and machinery service centres in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire, and Aberdeenshire will find this unit particularly relevant given the cereal crop density in those regions. The cylinder also fits certain self-propelled forage harvesters where an identically dimensioned tipping hydraulic cylinder is specified, making it a dual-application stocking item for workshops servicing mixed machinery fleets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Case Study \u2014 UK<\/div>\n
Lincolnshire Grain Contracting Ltd | 2024 Harvest Season<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Zero Downtime Across 3,400 Harvested Acres \u2014 A Cylinder Replacement Success<\/h3>\n

Lincolnshire Grain Contracting Ltd operates a fleet of four large combine harvesters serving arable farms across the Fens. During the 2023 harvest, they experienced a mid-season grain tank cylinder failure on their flagship machine, resulting in 11 hours of unplanned downtime during peak wheat harvest \u2014 a loss estimated at over \u00a36,200 in missed contractor revenue. For the 2024 season, they sourced four HCYY11112016 grain tank lifting cylinders as pre-season replacement units across their entire fleet. Workshop manager David Hartley reported that all four cylinders were installed in under two hours per machine, with no bracket modification required. Across 3,400 harvested acres through a demanding season that included several days of rain-interrupted cutting and intensive grain tank cycling, not a single cylinder-related stoppage was recorded. Post-season inspection showed negligible rod wear and zero seal weeping.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Facility & Custom Engineering Capability<\/h2>\n

\"Grain<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Our hydraulic cylinder manufacturing facility operates CNC honing machines, precision turning centres, and automated seal assembly lines under an ISO 9001-certified quality management system. Every grain tank lifting cylinder leaving the facility is pressure-tested to 1.5 times its rated working pressure before dispatch \u2014 meaning each HCYY11112016 unit is verified to 25 MPa on a calibrated test bench before it reaches your workshop or farm.<\/p>\n

Custom engineering is a genuine core competency at this facility, not an afterthought. If your combine harvester platform requires a bore diameter other than 65mm, a stroke length that differs from the standard 607mm, alternative port thread standards, modified clevis or trunnion mounting configurations, or a different paint specification for corrosive coastal environments, our engineering team can produce an adapted unit. Minimum order quantities for custom configurations are kept deliberately low to make bespoke solutions accessible to independent machinery dealers and small fleet operators as well as large OEM accounts.<\/p>\n

UK-based agricultural machinery importers, combine harvester dealers, and farm parts wholesalers are encouraged to enquire about annual supply agreements, which can include reserved stock allocation held ahead of the pre-harvest ordering surge that typically occurs between April and June each year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
