Challenge for you guys

[MDW]

I am thinking about a hydraulic jack system with a 12volt pump to replace the crankup jack that I have now as I take the trailer on and off my truck daily.

So who knows Hydraulics??

How cheap can this be done?? LOL

Thanks for the help in advance, Michael

In case anyone else is interested



Wonder what they get for this system?

will a 12volt screw jack work

Piecemealing hydraulics gets expensive. A formula I've used to build systems is - 1gpm@1500psi=1hp. Northern Tool/Northern Hydraulics has some neat things that you may be able to adapt. Craig

It must be very durable and lift a lot of weight.

I have killed two electric trailer jacks.

The one I have now works fine but it is a crankup, its rated at 7000lbs I think.

I can think of 2 ways of doing it but it would be costly
