Ultra boost to payload with new Edbro cylinder range23 October 2014

Jost has launched the Ultra range of Edbro cylinders, which offer weight savings of up to 29kg for the CS17 and CS18 products.

Unveiled at the recent IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover, Grmany, Ultra enables operators to increase payload without compromising tipping speed or capacity, according to international sales director Peter Smith.

Smith says competitors have been reducing cylinder weight by decreasing the diameters.

"We refuse to compromise on the safety of our products so set the challenge to our engineers to reduce the weight of our cylinders without losing the >50% safety factor of full load at full tip that has always been maintained," he insists.

"Thanks to ingenious design tweaks, new materials and upgraded manufacturing techniques they delivered."

Both eye-ended and outer cover designs of the cylinders are available in Ultra with weight savings of up to 100kg against comparable cylinders, says Smith.

The full range of CS17 and CS18 cylinders will be available by early 2015.
