Refuse Truck Locking Cylinder | EP-HCYY11112032 Model
Refuse Truck Locking Cylinder
EP-HCYY11112032 · Φ63mm · Stroke 160mm · 20 MPa · 15 kg
The hydraulic lock that holds the hopper body and tailgate firmly in position during waste collection and road transport. Without it, the loaded hopper could shift during braking or cornering — creating a safety hazard and spilling waste. The locking cylinder engages and disengages hydraulically from the cab, allowing the driver to lock the body for transport and unlock it for emptying at the transfer station.

▲ Refuse Truck Locking Cylinder | EP-HCYY11112032 ModelHow the Locking Cylinder Secures the Refuse Truck Body

A rear-loading refuse compression truck has a hopper body that tips or lifts for emptying. During collection runs, this body must be locked rigidly to the chassis — it contains several tonnes of compressed waste, and any movement during driving creates dangerous load shift.
The locking cylinder inserts a steel locking pin or engages a latch mechanism that mechanically connects the hopper body to the chassis frame. The 160 mm stroke provides enough travel to fully engage the lock through the chassis and body alignment holes. At 20 MPa, the Φ63 bore produces approximately 62 kN of locking force — more than enough to hold the pin securely against vibration and dynamic loads during driving.
The driver operates the lock from the cab — engaging it before driving and releasing it at the disposal site. The cylinder must be reliable in all weather conditions: rain, frost, road salt, and the corrosive environment created by waste leachate. Browse the full mobile machinery hydraulic cylinder range.
Why Hydraulic Locking Instead of Mechanical Latches?
The driver locks and unlocks the body without leaving the cab — eliminating the risk of being struck by the tailgate or hopper during manual latch engagement. Hydraulic operation also ensures consistent locking force every time.
The 62 kN hydraulic force drives the locking pin fully home — even if alignment holes are slightly misaligned from body deflection or wear. Mechanical latches rely on gravity or springs, which can fail to engage fully.
Mechanical latches corrode quickly in the refuse truck environment (waste acids, road salt, moisture). The hydraulic cylinder's sealed design protects the mechanism, and the hard-chrome rod resists the corrosive environment.
