This is what CCM said about their cylinders.
Why does CCM sell hydraulic toplinks with check valves?
Safety first is the main reason. OSHA and the EC require piloted check valves as a safety on agricultural and industrial equipment when an object is lifted with a hydraulic cylinder and has no mechanical safety catch.
How do you get that CCM is trying to have homeowners believe that their DPOCV cylinders are required by OSHA?
No where do they say that. What they do say is that they are safer and that is why OSHA and the EC require them if no mechanical safety catch is provided on the equipment.
