I need a air operated cylinder for my engine hoist ?

[Wayne County Hose]

This may be the one that I need ? I just have to see if I have a flat base or one with a hole beneath it like this one

Thanks Skyco
Jim

Even if they don't offer one with a flat bottom, just cut the holes off. Hey, that didn't sound right. You know what I mean.
Now that your lift will be powered by sailboat fuel, the other hand will be free for your can of attitude adjustment.

Here is a picture of one of the many things I have done with my modified engine hoist, these wood I beams weigh 216 pounds together. And it will pick up 200 pounds to a height of 14 feet.

Could that concept by used for a small log splitter? I foolishly bought that hand-jacked splitter from HF and it sets right next to an available compressor.
I mean something to compare to those mini-electric splitters.

I don't know if that would work on a log splitter unless it was verticle, some jacks won't work on their side and an 8 ton is light for a log splitter

I just ordered one of These cylinders from HF and I used a coupon that was posted awhile back so now I have a cylinder and a free duffel bag coming.
Thanks for all the help

Well, it came in today and I can't wait to install it and try it out, it even came with the correct air fitting for my hoses

I am wondering why you didn't set those trusses with your skidsteer? Did you give up on using the skidsteer to load pallets on the second level?
I have a forklift you can borrow if you need more height.

David, allot of the stuff we have is just moving items and we will be getting to some furniture someday, I just wrap a couple of straps around it and hoist it up and the manual pump is over 100 pumps and the hand winch is around 75 turns of the handle, they both are getting old LOL
I'm anxious to get this set up soon maybe Sunday or Friday or should I just say this weekend
