HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ASSEMBLY FOR DUMP TRAILERS

A dump trailer and a hydraulic cylinder assembly for the dump trailer are described herein. The cylinder assembly includes a first barrel, a second barrel rigidly coupled to the first barrel along a longitudinal axis of the cylinder assembly, and a piston assembly. The first barrel includes an inlet port for receiving vehicle hydraulic fluid and an outlet port for providing the vehicle hydraulic fluid to the vehicle. The second barrel includes an inlet port and an outlet port for providing dump trailer hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic lifting mechanism of the dump trailer. The piston assembly includes a first piston and a second piston coupled to the first piston by a shaft. The piston assembly is configured to provide the dump trailer hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic lifting mechanism to lift a box of the dump trailer when the cylinder assembly receives hydraulic fluid from the vehicle.
