A telescopic cylinder comprised of an outer cylinder, a plurality of decreasing diameter piston/sleeve assemblies concentrically mounted in the outer cylinder for reciprocal axial movement relative thereto, and a plunger assembly concentrically mounted within the innermost one of the piston/sleeve assemblies for reciprocal axial movement relative thereto. The piston/sleeve and plunger assemblies having a piston with at least one lateral hole and at least one lateral passage, respectively, extending into its interior, and in fluid communication with a passage in the outer cylinder for receiving pressurized fluid. Each lateral hole having an orifice surface located at the radially outermost portion of the hole and having a diametral dimension no smaller than the maximum diametral dimension of the hole. Each piston further having at least one longitudinally relieved portion located on its outer circumferential surface extending from a first end towards a second end.
