In the unlikely event of hydraulic ram failure, the following information must be provided to ensure a correct replacement ram is supplied:

  1. The model number of the machine, as recorded on the machine rating plate.
  2. The serial number of the machine, as recorded on the machine rating plate.
  3. The ‘base-to-bar’ length of the hydraulic ram, as shown in the diagram below.
  4. The ‘base-to-groove’ length of the hydraulic ram, as shown in the diagram below.
