8.2 Multistage sets
Multistage sets consist of:
- Cylinder attachments (Fig. right, item 1),
- Piston attachments (Fig. right, item 2),
- Fork lever (Fig. right, item 3)
Application case for multistage sets:
Multistage sets enable an increase in load lifting
height beyond the stated cylinder stroke. For space
reasons, cylinders with large strokes often cannot be
used due to their large overall height. Multistage sets
make it possible to use cylinders with small overall
height to lift loads very high.

NOTE:
Multistage sets are specifically designed for individual cylinders.
To find out which multistage set is suitable for your cylinder, please contact your
authorised dealer or LUKAS directly.
8. Use of accessories
8.1 Base plate
Base plates are provided to:
- Increase the base area of the cylinders,
- Increase static stability,
- Level out minor unevenness of the ground.
Assembly of the base plate:
Place the cylinder onto the base plate in such a way that the cou-
pling connection is positioned in the corresponding recess in the
centring tube. You must then tighten the three fixing screws on
the centring tube. This way, the cylinders can be carried together
with the base plate.
Installation / operation of the multistage sets:
1. Raise the load with the cylinder "A", using the standard
piston guard plate "B".
