L-HYC00905 is a rear loader slide cylinder for garbage Trucks with a 5.5-inch bore, 2.5-inch rod and 37-inch stroke for slide-panel applications.

37inThe slide cylinder on a rear-loader garbage truck has a different job from the arm cylinder on a front loader. It works inside the body, moving the slide panel through the loading and transfer cycle. That means the available installation space, stroke path and connection points are just as important as the cylinder's force class.
HCIC lists L-HYC00905 as an L Slide Cylinder for rear-loader garbage truck applications. The catalog gives it a 5.5-inch bore, 2.5-inch rod and 37-inch stroke.

A slide panel does not simply move in a straight line without resistance. The cylinder works within the rear-loader body, where packed material, guide friction and changing load conditions affect the movement. If the stroke is too short, the panel may not complete its intended travel. If the mounting position is wrong, the cylinder may reach an unfavorable angle or lose useful mechanical advantage.
The 5.5-inch bore and 37-inch stroke describe the cylinder itself. They do not, on their own, prove that it will fit every rear-loader body. The slide guide, pin spacing, retracted length, port position and hydraulic control circuit still need to be checked.
This is the practical difference between a catalog match and a confirmed replacement.
This model is relevant to buyers working with:
It is especially useful when the buyer already has an L Slide Cylinder reference and wants to verify the cylinder dimensions before placing a replacement order.
For a rear-loader slide-cylinder review, send the following if available:
A photo of the cylinder installed inside the body is often more useful than a close-up of the barrel alone. It shows the actual mounting angle, available clearance and the relationship between the cylinder and slide panel.
HCIC's rear-loader cylinder information covers slide, sweep and packer applications. For L-HYC00905, the first review should stay focused on the L Slide Cylinder configuration rather than mixing specifications from other rear-loader mechanisms.
If the original model is no longer available, the replacement should be checked from the complete installation data. Bore and stroke are only the starting point. The connection geometry and working space determine whether the cylinder can perform the same movement in the truck body.
The HCIC catalog identifies it as an L Slide Cylinder for a rear-loader garbage truck application.
The catalog lists a 5.5-inch bore, 2.5-inch rod and 37-inch stroke.
Not automatically. The mounting points, retracted length, port arrangement, operating pressure and slide geometry also need to match.
They operate different mechanisms in a rear-loader body. A slide cylinder moves the slide mechanism; a packer cylinder operates the packing mechanism. Their dimensions and mounting requirements should not be assumed to be interchangeable.
A custom review can be based on a drawing, sample, OEM reference or complete dimensional information. The final configuration should be confirmed before production.
