1. Your machine
Your machine is very helpful in finding the right hydraulic cylinder. Why? Because there are many types of hydraulic cylinders, but not all of them can be used on every machine. At TVH, we can identify the cylinder based on the make and model of your machine.

So, when you contact us to replace a hydraulic cylinder, always provide us with the correct make and model of your machine.
How do you do it? Simply take a picture of the aluminum ID plate on the body of your machine with your smartphone or tablet. Take the picture at a slight angle to avoid reflections.
It is also helpful to know where the hydraulic cylinder is located on the machine. Since there are many different types of hydraulic cylinders, determining their location on the machine can be very helpful in knowing whether the cylinder is a mast cylinder, a wheel cylinder or a brake cylinder.
2. Part number
Each cylinder has a part number by which it can be identified. This number contains technical information about the type, production date, application, etc. In 95% of cases, this part number is engraved on the cylinder housing. At TVH, we guarantee that every cylinder we manufacture has a part number engraved on it. With this number, we can identify your hydraulic cylinder in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee!
Can't find the part number? Don't give up! If necessary, simply remove the cylinder from the machine and look on the back of the housing. Not being able to find the part number at first glance usually means it's located elsewhere.
3. Take Photos
It's a cliché, but it's true: a picture is worth a thousand words. Since our experts deal with hydraulic cylinders every day, their expertise is impeccable. With just 3 or 4 photos from all angles, our experts will be able to identify the type of cylinder. They can also guide you to find the part number, so the identification process can be completed in no time.

4. Industry Reputation
Learn about the manufacturer's reputation within the industry by reading customer reviews and testimonials to assess its performance. Go a step further and ask the manufacturer for testimonials from customers who have used their products, which will provide you with valuable insights into their reliability and customer satisfaction.
