I would presume that proper installation includes stops on the *input* side;
also the output rams will likely be short enough that they don't stress the
limits of their attachments. Since mechanical advantage is one of the major
characteristics of hydraulics, which has been used for years in all types of
machinery, standard solutions can be counted on.
