Hydraulic Cylinder Safety Stops

[jaydee325]

Does anyone have a source for cylinder safety stops? I've searched on line but can't find any. I want them so I can raise the loader out of the way and safely work beneath it.

I have never seen "universal" ones for sale, but some OEM's supply them on commercial equipment like skid-steers. They can easily be made by slitting steel pipe and securing to the rod with cable/zip ties.

Or a piece of angle iron zip strapped or hose clamped to the cylinder rod.

Ditto on the angle iron zip tied to cyl rod.

He has some there for sale. However I can't find them anyplace else so he might make them.

When I bought mine, RMP was offering a Black Friday promotion. I got the pair for $80 shipped.

Doesn't hurt to ask RMP.
