(888) 312-8812 Login SignupIf a tailgate latch needs controlled movement instead of manual force, the APSCO Hydraulic Cylinder provides that push and pull action. This double-acting cylinder uses hydraulic pressure to extend and retract, allowing latch mechanisms to open or close with controlled force. The 2.5-inch bore and 8-inch stroke give it the capacity and travel range needed for tailgate latch applications. It’s often used in dump or utility setups where consistent actuation is required during loading or unloading. Hydraulic control helps reduce the effort needed to operate latch systems. For the tailgate latch function, the APSCO C-5070-PK helps deliver that motion.
