40.0 in (1,016.0 mm)Municipal refuse collection is one of the harshest duty cycles in mobile hydraulics. An automated side loader (ASL) arm cycles thousands of times every week, lifting heavy residential garbage carts under continuous vibration, road shock, and outdoor grime. The L-HYC00507 40-Inch Hydraulic Cylinder for Automated Side Loaders is catalog-engineered by HCIC to handle the intense lifting and reach demands of 22-cubic-yard automated side loader refuse bodies.
Listed in the official HCIC-2026 product catalog (p. 10), this heavy-duty double-acting cylinder features:
- 4.0-inch bore
- 2.5-inch induction-hardened rod
- 40.0-inch stroke
- Application Reference: L 22 YD, Automizer, Right Hand ASL (Automated Side Loader)
With its massive 2.5-inch rod and 4-inch bore, this actuator delivers high lifting torque to raise the automated cart arm smoothly from the curb to the hopper without hesitation or structural flex.

Fitment notice: Refuse truck body manufacturers configure mounting pin diameters, grease port locations, and internal end-of-stroke cushioning to match specific truck models (such as Labrie Automizer or compatible side loaders). HCIC supplies exact drop-in replacements based on your truck serial number or sample cylinder dimensions.
In automated side-loader mechanisms, the L-HYC00507 40-Inch Hydraulic Cylinder for Automated Side Loaders** performs two demanding tasks simultaneously: lifting heavy loads and withstanding extreme side loading when the cart arm extends sideways over curbs.
Key mechanical advantages include:
1. Massive Column Rigidity (2.5" Rod): A 40-inch stroke is relatively long for a mobile equipment arm. The 2.5" heavy-duty rod diameter prevents buckling or elastic deflection when an overloaded 96-gallon cart is lifted at high speed.
2. Fast Return Speeds: The substantial 2.5" rod leaves an efficient annular return area, allowing the hydraulic system to retract the empty arm rapidly back to the truck body, shortening overall stop-to-stop route times.
3. Severe-Duty Contamination Seals: Waste equipment operates in leachate, road salt, and abrasive dust. HCIC outfits these units with multi-lip polyurethane rod seals and metal-cased outer scrapers to prevent particulate ingestion.
Before issuing a purchase order for a replacement side loader cylinder, confirm these 4 critical points with your shop mechanics:
1. Verify Handing & Mounting Orientation: Confirm your truck uses the Right-Hand (curbside) ASL arm assembly to ensure grease fitting and hydraulic port orientations match your supply hoses.
2. Measure Pin Centers (Retracted & Extended): Measure from center-of-pin to center-of-pin with the arm fully stowed, and verify the 40-inch extension matches your arm's mechanical stops.
3. Check Pin Diameter & Clevis Width: Confirm your pivot pin size (typically 1.50" to 2.00") and verify whether your existing clevis requires spherical ball bushings or hardened steel bushings.
4. Inspect Hose Routing & Armor Guarding: Side loader arm cylinders move dynamically. Ensure hoses are equipped with spiral abrasion wrap to prevent chafing against the ASL boom frame.
