A boom cylinder is a type of hydraulic cylinder used in heavy equipment such as excavators, cranes, and other construction machinery. It is specifically designed to move the boom or arm of the equipment, which is responsible for lifting and hauling materials. The boom cylinder is powered by hydraulic pressure, which allows it to move the boom up and down and adjust its angle. These cylinders are usually made of durable materials such as steel, and can withstand high pressure and heavy loads.
