What push or pull tonnage is required per cylinder in your application?	What is the push or pull stroke length required?	Does the cylinder need to push or pull? Or both?
Does the application require multiple cylinders?	Is the application stationary or must the components be light in weight for easy portability?	Do you need to extend a rod or cable through the center of the cylinder for the application as in a tensioning operation?
Does the application require that the cylinder fit within limited clearance work areas?	Does the application require that the cylinder be "Dead-ended" at the end of its work stroke?	Will the cylinder need to withstand off-center loads? Cylinders with swivel caps are available.
Does the application require that the lifted load be supported for extended periods?	Is corrosion resistance required?	Will the application involve high cylinders (over 2,500 in the cylinder's lifetime)?

Hydraulic Pump Considerations
What maximum system operating pressure (psi) is required?	What volume of oil delivery is required?	Is a single - or 2-speed pump required?
What is the preferred source of power? Manual, Air/Hydraulic or Electric/Hydraulic, Gasoline Engine/Hydraulic	Manually Operated Pump	Will the pump be used intermittently, or will it need to provide high-cycle operation? Does the application require that the pump be capable of starting under load?
Is fluid heat build-up a factor in your application? High cycle applications may require a larger capacity oil reservoir for cooling.	Also, if you are using large displacement cylinders, the reservoir capacity must be sufficient to fully extend the piston of the cylinder.	Will the application require large displacement or multiple cylinders? Reservoir size and pump output levels will be factors to consider.
Does the working environment require a pump having a low operating noise (dBA) level?	Is portability of the pump a factor to consider?	Must the pump operate in a spark-free environment?
