Review on WEN CC3016 Hydraulic Cylinder 16 Inch by Michael Thaxton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Flat bed replacement

Both of my cylinders on my 14,000 lb PJ flatbed trailer were leaking through the front seal which was annoying. I contacted the trailer manufacturer and they said the re-compact kit is out of stock but I can buy new ones for $350 each. Oh! Since the cylinders didn't have part numbers or manufacturers, I tried getting them repaired locally for over $200 each, but didn't get a good impression of these shops. Then when I contacted PJ to order them, they were out of stock. I found them and they all seemed almost the same size except the hydraulic connectors were offset 90 degrees to the mounting pins. I checked my usage and decided I could use the adapter fittings and connect the original lines. After completion, I securely wired all the lines and everything works great! Cons: Identifying the correct adapters and hydraulic hoses is now roadside due to the 90 degree timing. Pros: The price was less than half as WEN is a well known brand and resealing kits are readily available should they ever be needed!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
