Description
The American Forge & Foundry 3-Ton Ram (LRC3B) is a high-capacity long hydraulic ram engineered for demanding lifting and positioning tasks. Specifically designed as a direct replacement for the hydraulic unit in the AFF 988D engine crane, its versatile 3-ton capacity also makes it suitable for integration into a variety of other systems and custom applications that require substantial hydraulic force. This ram provides a reliable and efficient solution for workshops, garages, and industrial settings where heavy loads need to be managed with precision. Its robust construction ensures consistent operation for a range of automotive, agricultural, and general fabrication projects. With a compact compressed length of 24 1/4 inches and an extended length of 45 inches, it offers a generous 20 3/4-inch stroke, allowing for significant lifting height. The LRC3B is an essential component for operations requiring controlled hydraulic power for lifting, pushing, or alignment.
