Adding a 2nd or 3rd cylinder to my dump truck?

project_X · Sep 9, 2009

I have just completed converting my Suzuki Carry mini truck into a dump truck. I have a double acting power pack to move the cylinder both up and down, and would like to add a selector valve (?) to allow me to use the power pack to lift a snow plow (and possibly angle). Ideally, I would like to use 12V to switch cylinders.

Thanks for any ideas,
Rob

Use two 12v electric valves, and a double valve subplate.

Have any photos of the installation, Rob? I want to add a hyd dump box
to my custom Suzuki.

i'm just finishing up the build, and am going to put together a complete write up, with pictures and detailed dimensions.
i'll let you know when it is done.
