What is this forklift hydraulic part called

This is some sort of an inline filter, or check valve, or what? Looks like a thick pipe nipple on a hydraulic line. It is on a Caterpillar forklift.

What does it do?

It looks like a screen. It's not fair to call such a "filter", because it's only to keep rats-n-bats out of the filter, proper.

It doesn't look robust enough to be a load check, or for that matter any of the high-pressure side stuff... but the scale could be confusing my estimation of that.

"The ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake." Malcolm Wallop former U.S. Sen. (R-WY)
