Product Description

The FE-4TG-E169*4280 is a four-stage front tipping hydraulic cylinder listed in the HCIC hydraulic tipping catalog for a 49-ton tipping-capacity application. Its telescopic construction combines a long working range with a shorter closed package than a single-stage cylinder would normally require.

The model is intended for front-tipping dump-truck system design, where cylinder length, mounting geometry and vehicle load must be reviewed together. The catalog provides the main bore sequence, pressure, installation dimensions and closed length needed for an initial engineering discussion.

The values above are transcribed from the FE/FC front tipping cylinder table in the supplied HCIC-2026 catalog. The tipping-capacity reference is a catalog application value, not a guarantee for every truck configuration.

II. Four-Stage Telescopic Construction

The FE-4TG-E169*4280 uses four nested stages. The bore sequence decreases from 169 mm to 115 mm as the stages extend. This arrangement allows the cylinder to provide a long lifting movement while keeping the closed installation length to 1,345 mm. Front Tipping Hydraulic Cylinders

During a front-tipping cycle, hydraulic pressure acts on the active stage area. As the stage sequence changes, the available lifting force and movement speed also change. For this reason, a cylinder should not be selected only by its largest bore or by the nominal truck capacity. The body weight, payload, hinge position, mounting points and hydraulic circuit all affect the final system result.

III. Installation Dimensions Matter

The catalog lists A, B, C, D and delta dimensions for the FE-4TG-E169*4280. These dimensions should be compared with the truck's front-mounting bracket, pivot arrangement, frame clearance and closed-body position.

The 1,345 mm closed length is especially important when the cylinder is installed between the chassis and the front tipping body. Buyers should also check the full extended path, the angle of the cylinder at the start of lifting and the clearance around each mounting point. A dimensionally similar cylinder may still be unsuitable if its pin centers or bracket geometry differ.

IV. Pressure and Application Review

The catalog lists a working pressure of 16 MPa and a 49-ton tipping-capacity reference for this model. These figures must be reviewed alongside the pump setting, valve protection, hydraulic oil flow and truck structure. They should not be treated as a stand-alone payload approval.

Before selecting the FE-4TG-E169*4280, the buyer should confirm whether the 49-ton reference matches the actual vehicle and tipping body. The complete system requires compatible brackets, pins, hydraulic lines and a control circuit designed for the intended load and movement.

V. Inspection and Replacement Information

For a replacement inquiry, send the original cylinder identification, photographs of the mounting points, closed and extended measurements, pin dimensions, oil-port information and truck application details. If the old unit is damaged, photographs of the rod, stage joints and mounting eyes help separate a cylinder problem from a bracket or alignment problem.

The following information is useful for an OEM quotation:

Truck make, model and intended load range
Front tipping body dimensions
Closed installation length and available clearance
Mounting-pin diameter and center positions
Hydraulic pressure and pump flow
Hose and port arrangement
Required quantity and replacement status

VI. Conclusion

The FE-4TG-E169*4280 is a specific four-stage front tipping hydraulic cylinder with a 169/158/136/115 mm bore sequence, 16 MPa catalog pressure and 1,345 mm closed length. Its suitability depends on the complete dump-truck system, not on the model number alone. Send the mounting drawing and hydraulic data to HCIC for a project-specific review.
