The Electronics and Hydraulics Group also operates through the Custom Hoists subsidiary, providing single and double acting telescopic and piston rod hydraulic cylinders to truck manufacturers for the dump trailer and dump body industry. Custom Hoists has a 70% share of the dump trailer market and a 30% share for dump trucks in the U.S.
Sales are made directly to OEMs manufacturing dump trucks, trash collection vehicles, lift trucks and other mobile units requiring hydraulic power.

The cylinders are reliable and durable, even under challenging applications. A testament to the company’s quality engineering, Custom Hoists provides its customers with both the highest performing and lightest weight cylinders in the market, helping operators to reduce the weight of their trucks and thus reduce their fuel costs.
