Part #: 4144

The OTC Tools and Equipment 4144 Shorty Single Acting Spring Return Ram delivers robust 50-ton force in a compact design, engineered for professional automotive and industrial applications. This specialized ram is built to enhance efficiency by eliminating the delays associated with gravity-return cylinders, making it an invaluable addition to any workshop or job site. Its low collapsed height and efficient spring return mechanism are designed to improve productivity during demanding tasks.

Key Features

  • Efficient Spring Return: The spring-type piston return mechanism ensures rapid retraction, significantly reducing downtime compared to gravity-return rams and streamlining operations.
  • Compact and Versatile Design: With a low 5-inch retracted height and a 2 3/8-inch stroke, this shorty 50 ton ram is ideal for use in confined spaces where conventional rams may not fit.
  • Durable Construction: Featuring bronze-plated piston rods, the ram is built to resist scoring and wear, contributing to a longer service life under heavy use.
  • Enhanced Safety: Designed to be "dead ended" at full capacity, this ram offers maximum safety during high-pressure operations.
  • User-Friendly Connection: An angled 5-degree coupler port simplifies hose hook-up, allowing for quicker and more secure connections.

Applications

This robust 50 ton ram is well-suited for a wide range of tasks requiring significant force in limited access areas. It is commonly utilized in automotive repair for pressing bearings, bushings, and ball joints, or in industrial settings for lifting, pushing, or separating heavy components. Its compact footprint makes it particularly effective in chassis work, suspension repair, and fabrication where precise, powerful actuation is necessary.
