The standard Chief hydraulic cylinder line was developed by Bailey to provide OEMs, resellers and repair shops a solution for their cylinder needs. The huge success of the Chief cylinder line has expanded into a large selection of hundreds of different tie-rod and welded cylinders with a variety of mounting options. Our most innovative Chief WX model was even granted a U.S. patent that features a 360 degree adjustable port for easy hook ups. All Chief hydraulic cylinders are designed and engineered by Bailey and backed by a 3-4 year warranty. Each and every Chief hydraulic cylinder is tested before it is delivered. Bailey produces over a 100,000 hydraulic cylinders a year and has one to match your application or we will custom build one to your specifications.
