I have an 8 foot aluminum dump box insert for a pickup truck. The original electric pump blew a seal, so I installed this new pump. I had issue with air not bleeding out, so switched hose connections, and I heard bubbles in the tank, as air was purged. Another video suggested UP pressure is 3200psi, and DOWN is 1500psi? Instructions and specs fail and pump outlets are not marked. So far 5,000 pound load of gravel dumped, but heavier bypassed. Do not currently know cylinder diameter on scissor lift.
I am looking to purchase this exact unit but I'm really new to the field of hydraulics. Thanks so much for this review! I do have one question though: Does the unit have to be used lying down or can it be used vertically as well?
You are going to want a cross port pilot operated check valve mounted on the cylinder. This valve will lock fluid in the cylinder when in transit or parked. The only way it will lower is either by powering it hydraulically or the cylinder will have to leak over the seals. If you do not do this, the current hydraulic cylinder will become a pump and can generate a massive amount of pressure while driving along. This pressure can and will damage the hoses and pump and valves. The best is to keep it contained in the cylinder, its made of steel and can handle at minimum 4X the rated pressure. That one looks like either a 2500 or 3000 psi version. Good luck and happy hydraulics. PS be sure to clean you oil if it doesn't have a good filter. Easiest is to grab a filter with a farm and barn head on it, crank in some fitting that match your QDs for your equipment and then run it through the filter once in a while for an hour or so. Be sure you are flowing through the filter in the proper direction. Dirt migrates into your hydraulics through the rod seals and also metal wear form internal mechanisms.
Your newest subscriber. Your video on this topic bailed me out big time. I've just posted my experience with a Vevor pump unit, included a link to your video, and commented on how grateful I was that you posted this. Without it, I would have been lost. The promised help from Vevor never materialized, and electrical hookups are not my strong suit.
Ive got a hydraulic wood splitter that we run off of tractor hydraulics. Id like to hook one of these up to the splitter and skip the tractor hydraulics. ( borrowed tractor, not always available) looks like it should work. Questioning durability ( high cycle application) and speed of operation. anybody have experience with it?
Holy cow. We had a hydraulic lift added to our car trailer. We were powering it it up and it would fall down. Going out there now and check if he installed hoses backwards. Subscribed for all the help. Very helpful.(update) The hoses sure were backwards. No goes up and stays up. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
We use them on small dump trucks. They do not last long at all. Solenoids burn out quick. Heavier loads will burn them smooth up. Just my experience with them.
I've got 3 of those units Frank. One I put on my 5th wheel equipment trailer to operate the tongue jacks, and I put the other two on my 5th wheel camper to operate the slide outs, and leveling jacks. So far so good.
I was looking to do the very same thing for my camper slide out .I wasn't sure it would work ,glad to hear it does for you I'm gonna order one now thanks for sharing info
Thanks for the review. It looks like a handy 12V power pack especially with that quite large hydraulic tank. To use it on an implement like your disc harrows you should use a double pilot operated check valve on the ram. It will hold the ram in position and prevent any hydraulic shocks going back to the pump.
That’s odd it leaks by the valve in one direction you would think it would be able to hold pressure either direction it’s still handy in a pinch if you needed it say to lift a implement to drag home from a fence row or something snow plow maybe thanks for sharing
I could see where this would be a handy unit for a dump trailer. Definitely some rubber boots for those wires, odd they are so small compared to the connectors. Thanks for the review.
Well, good timing Frank. I just bought a Vevor 110v deep well pump to reactivate an old well, to keep the stock tank (other places, they call them "ponds") full with the drought. Was a pretty cheap pump, (okay real cheap, but that well hasn't had a pump in it in 20 years, and I never heard of Vevor before, but for the money, "what the heck?") I haven't hooked it up yet, because "drop pipe" for a well is darned hard to come by (supposed to be here Monday or Tuesday). From what I can see of the instruction manual you got there, it's like the one on the Vevor well pump, "loses something in translation."
@@andyjennette yes, it had got tiny specs of something in the valve. I put some inline filters on it. Working ok but I'm not impressed. My cylinder is large and cycles out if Im not careful then I have to wait for it to reset. I don't recall it saying that in the description but it does in the crummy manual.
I have a roll-off truck with a "Hy-tower" tarp system, that operates vertically. The manufacturer wants $1600 for their pump. I removed the reservoir, made a copper suction tube (had to tap the threads to 1/2 NPT.) and the screen. Working like charm and under $350 with new hoses.
Awesome! That’s exactly what I need to do. I have an Autocrane on my service truck. The tank rusted out, so I want to use this to replace it. That was my biggest question, can it run vertical or not. I even emailed vevor, and they couldn’t answer me. Lol
Well just watched your video thanks put this on my 5th wheeler to lift up and down but like you keeping down changed hoses all good know thanks a heap give the dog a pat fro 5:05 5:06 m me in Australia
@@arnoldromppai5395 my other dump trailer and all the other ones I’ve used has a dual action pump. Power up and power down. Most dump trucks are single acting and just gravity lower, but electric trailers are usually different
