So im building a dump trailer/cart and my cart is dumping and lowering way to fast. I'm using a 12V Double Acting Hydraulic Power pack for all the Hydraulics. Is there any way to fix this?

A bigger cylinder or a flow reducer.

I’ve never had the need to do that but I think it would work. I think you’d only need one valve since of the fluid can’t move out of the cylinder fast more can’t move in fast. What kind of a setup are you using to be too fast? All of my dump trucks are slow.

If you don’t want a valve you can do this as well. Just get the smallest orifice and drill it to the size you need.

How big is the cart? I struggled making a flatbed truck dump with a 4 or 4.5 bore cylinder. My one ton dump truck is a 5” bore cylinder.

only about 1.50 yard and it only takes about 5 seconds to dump.

For raise feature I would suggest a priority flow control. This style of valve bleeds the excess flow to tank.
A simple needle valve or orifice requires the pump to be at full pressure and dump the excess flow across the relief to tank. Using these for raise will result in excess heat, and various raise times depending on load in dump trailer.
