Dump trailer power unit

MeanGene1 · Aug 4, 2018

I just came into a great deal on a big (14x7) dump trailer, because the power unit is missing. Lots listed on ebay and Amazon, thinking a 15 quart power up and down unit. Any favorite units from those who have purchased them? Thanks

There are many different arraignment's on those pumps, Solenoid valve up, cable down. 2 solenoids. Does it have 1 cyl or 2? single action or double action cyls? What size are the cylinders? Rated pressure for cyls. Relief valve setting for the pump. I have installed dozens of these on small dump truck beds that I have built. If you get a pump that is too small it will be as slow a molasses in January in Alaska, going up and down both. Pressure is only one part, Gallons per minute is another. The size of the cyls and the number of cyls will dictate the capacity.A double action cylinder only takes half the capacity because the cylinder is always full.

See what original equipment specs were.
Then try to find comparable unit or better!
