Crawler Crane Frame Support Cylinder
EP-HCYY11112023 · Φ140mm · Stroke 640mm · 30 MPa · 40 MPa Max · 123 kg

The highest-pressure cylinder in the crawler crane family — operating at 30 MPa working and 40 MPa maximum withstand pressure. The frame support cylinder provides structural bracing for the main crane frame, locking the frame structure in its deployed configuration during lifting operations. At Φ140 bore with an 85.7% rod ratio, this cylinder functions as a hydraulically actuated structural member that can be extended for operation and retracted for transport.

How the Frame Support Cylinder Braces the Crane Structure

Crawler crane hydraulic cylinder positions

The crawler crane frame must be rigid during lifting — any flexibility in the frame allows the superstructure to twist or deflect under eccentric loads, reducing both stability and lifting capacity. The frame support cylinder locks the frame in its extended configuration, acting as a rigid strut between frame members.

At 30 MPa working pressure and 40 MPa maximum — the highest pressure rating in the entire crawler crane range — this cylinder must withstand the full structural loads transmitted through the crane frame during heavy lifts. The 1.33× safety factor (30→40 MPa) is tighter than typical hydraulic cylinders because the frame support operates primarily as a static structural member, not a dynamic actuator.

The 85.7% rod ratio (Φ120/Φ140) confirms this is a column/strut cylinder — the thick rod carries compressive loads transmitted through the frame structure. The 640 mm stroke provides the deployment range needed to extend the frame bracing from its folded transport position. Browse the full mobile machinery hydraulic cylinder range.

30 MPa / 40 MPa — Why the Highest Pressure?

Structural Load Path

The frame support cylinder is part of the crane's structural load path — it transmits overturning moments, torsional loads, and dynamic forces from the superstructure through the frame to the tracks. The cylinder must be as strong as a steel strut of the same cross-section.

85.7% Rod Ratio = Structural Column

The Φ120 rod inside the Φ140 bore leaves only 10 mm of wall thickness — this cylinder is essentially a solid steel column with a thin hydraulic sleeve around it. The hydraulics are only needed for extension/retraction; during operation, it functions as a rigid mechanical member.

40 MPa Burst — Earthquake-Level Loads

The 40 MPa maximum withstand pressure accounts for the extreme transient loads that can occur during seismic events, sudden load release, or emergency swing stops. The frame support must survive these peak loads without failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the working pressure (30 MPa) higher than the luffing cylinder (31.5 MPa)?

The frame support cylinder has a smaller bore (Φ140 vs Φ280) but must resist comparable structural loads. Higher pressure compensates for the smaller piston area — producing the force needed from a more compact cylinder that fits within the frame structure.

Is this cylinder hydraulically active during lifting?

No — the frame support cylinder extends to deploy the frame, then a mechanical lock or check valve holds it in position. During lifting, it functions as a passive structural member. The hydraulic system is only active during setup (extension) and teardown (retraction).

How many frame support cylinders does a crawler crane use?

Typically 4–6 per crane — front and rear frame positions, left and right sides. The EP-HCYY11112023 is one variant; related models (EP-HCYY11112025, 27) serve front and behind positions with different geometries.

Does Korea Ever-Power supply the complete crawler crane cylinder set?

Yes — luffing, rack support, frame support, boom angle, and additional bracing cylinders are all available. Also available: truck crane cylinders (EP-HCYY11112013–17). Browse the mobile machinery hydraulic cylinder range.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★Mar 2026

"The frame support cylinders on our crawler crane had started weeping oil — a serious safety concern for a structural member. Korea Ever-Power's EP-HCYY11112023 replacements passed our 40 MPa proof test without issue. The 123 kg weight required a small chain hoist for installation."

T. Hoffmann — Crane Safety Inspector, Austria

★★★★☆Sep 2025

"Good quality at competitive pricing. The Φ140 bore and 30 MPa rating match our original crane specification. Chrome finish on the Φ120 rod is clean — important for a cylinder that sits exposed to weather during crane setup periods."

S. Kim — Heavy Equipment Procurement, South Korea
