**Product Description**
Give your 1/14 dump truck a real front-mounted hydraulic lift. This multi-stage stainless steel telescopic cylinder mounts at the front of the bed near the cab, just like on a real heavy-duty tipper, delivering a long stroke and a perfect dumping angle. Choose the 4-stage version (extends to 410mm) or the 5-stage version (extends to 460mm) to match your bed length - recommended for 8x8 builds, and it fits 6x6 trucks as well. An optional cylinder cover is available: it hides the cylinder inside when the bed is down, and the cylinder rises out of the cover when dumping.

**What's Included**
Cylinder options (TP-036 / TP-037):
1 x stainless steel telescopic hydraulic cylinder (4-stage or 5-stage, as selected)
1 x mounting bracket
1 x mounting hardware set (oil nozzle, screws)
Cover option (TP-077):
1 x CNC-machined aluminum cylinder cover tube with top cap (55g)
1 x mounting hardware set (2 x mounting brackets, 2 x bearings, screws)

Note: hydraulic pump, oil tank and hydraulic oil are NOT included - this listing includes the cylinder assembly only.

**Key Features**
● Front-mounted layout - installs at the front of the dump bed near the cab, replicating the cylinder position of real heavy-duty tippers
● Multi-stage telescopic design - packs a long stroke into a compact 125mm retracted length
● Two versions: 4-stage extends to 410mm, 5-stage extends to 460mm - pick the one that matches your bed size
● Optional CNC-machined aluminum cover (TP-077) - hides the cylinder when the bed is down for a clean, realistic look; the cylinder rises out of it when lifting; fits both TP-036 and TP-037
● Polished stainless steel construction - corrosion resistant with a premium scale finish ● Real metal heft - 229g (4-stage) / 252g (5-stage)
● Working hydraulic component - pairs with your pump and tank set (sold separately) to power the bed up

**Compatibility**
Designed for 1/14 scale 8x8 hydraulic dump trucks (recommended); 6x6 builds are also supported.
Mounts at the front of the dump bed, close to the cab.
Compatible with for Tamiya 1/14 chassis and models such as Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363, Scania 770S, Volvo FH16 750, MAN TGX and IVECO dump trucks.
Requires a complete hydraulic system (pump and tank, sold separately) to operate.

**Specifications**
Scale: 1/14
Type: front-mounted multi-stage telescopic hydraulic cylinder
Material: stainless steel

Quantity: 1 piece per package
Mounting position: front of the dump bed, near the cab

**Note**
Air bleeding is required before first use.
Connect the cylinder to the pump (the M5 threaded port is the oil inlet) and the pump to the tank, and make sure every fitting connection is leak-free.
Fill the tank with more oil than the cylinder's capacity.
Lift the bed to the top, let the pump run under load for about 3 seconds, then reverse it.
If the cylinder drops with jerky movement or will not move, there is still air inside - slowly press the bed back down and lift again, applying a slight external force while lifting.
After reaching the top, run the pump under load for about 3 seconds and reverse again.
Repeat this cycle until the cylinder lowers smoothly or with only a very small load
(based on our sample tests, it takes about 20-25 cycles to purge all the air).
Hydraulic pump, oil tank and hydraulic oil are NOT included.
Truck, dump bed and other parts shown in photos and video are for display only and are not included. This is not an official Tamiya, Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Volvo, MAN or IVECO product.
