Ridgid Chain Vise for Cylinder Disassembly

The Ridgid Chain Vise (T-Ridgid) is an adaptable option for hydraulic cylinder maintenance. Designed to handle tubes or rods up to 8” in diameter, this cylinder disassembly vise can be modified with an additional chain to increase capacity up to 14”.

Key Features:

  • Supports hydraulic cylinder components up to 8” in diameter.
  • Expandable with additional chains for larger applications
  • Designed as a secondary hold-down option, not for primary torque operations.

Reed Chain Vise for Larger Cylinders

Our Reed Chain Vise (T-Reed) offers a higher capacity, handling tubes or rods up to 12” in diameter. Like the Ridgid model, this hydraulic cylinder chain vise can be expanded with additional chain to accommodate up to 24” diameters.

Key Features:

  • Handles larger hydraulic components, up to 12” diameter.
  • Expandable capacity up to 24” with additional chain
  • Recommended for use as a secondary hold-down option for stability during repairs.
