Maximum Force, Minimum Height
Low-profile (pancake) cylinders pack serious tonnage into a short, stout body. When there's barely room to slip a jack under the load, a low-profile cylinder gives you the lift you need without the height a standard cylinder demands.
Where Low-Profile Wins
Reach for a low-profile cylinder to lift machinery with minimal clearance, jack in confined spaces, or set heavy equipment where headroom is tight. Their wide, stable base also makes them a safe choice for spreading load on delicate surfaces.
Advantages
- Fits where standard cylinders can't
- High capacity in a compact footprint
- Wide, stable base for safe lifting
- Single-acting spring return for fast reset

Lifting machinery with minimal clearance, jacking in confined spaces, and setting heavy equipment where headroom is tight. The wide, stable base also spreads load, which helps on delicate surfaces.
Stroke. A short body means a short stroke, so a low-profile cylinder lifts a heavy load a short distance. If you need real travel, you need height or a different approach.
Three: collapsed height, stroke and tonnage. Collapsed height decides whether it fits at all, so start there.
