need something that’ll pick 100 ton but i dont want a big ol steel cylinder. is this one actually lighter?

Aluminum construction is what keeps the weight down on the RA Series. It is called out as about half the weight of an equal capacity steel cylinder, while still rated for 100 tons of lifting capacity.

aluminum cylinder rated at 100 tons seems almost too good to be true compared to steel -- how's it hold up over time without wearing out the bore?

Hard coating on both the piston rod and the cylinder bore is what makes the durability possible at that capacity. The aluminum body itself weighs roughly half what a comparable steel cylinder would, but the hard coat treatment gives the wear surfaces real resistance to both abrasion and corrosion. For jacking and non-production use, which is what this cylinder is built around, that combination holds up well under repeated load cycles without the bore degrading the way an uncoated aluminum bore would.

What kinda hydraulic fluid do these cylinders take? I just wanna make sure I got the right stuff before I hook it all up.

This cylinder is designed for use with standard hydraulic fluid. The specific type often depends on your system's requirements, so checking your equipment guidelines would be a good idea.
