Scissor Lift - Hydraulics ?

[Super90]

Bought a BendPak MD-6XP and have it in the garage, ready to connect the hydraulic line.

Question is, if plumb it up with the factory setup, and I use it for a while and then later need to disconnect the hydraulics from the lift, or from the "power unit", how much of a mess is this going to make?

What about using some high-quality quick disconnects on the hydraulic line? Something like a flush face, dry break coupling rated for 10,000 psi ? Like this:

Looking forward to using the lift, just wanting to add flexibility to moving it around and placing the power unit in different parts of the garage as I move it between bays. BUT, not wanting to compromise safety...

Thanks

I didn't want the push on ones, seemed risky. I have those for air and every once in awhile they pop loose. Probably my fault but still for ATF it would be messy.
Mine has a collar that screws down. The still come apart quickly and don't leak
when separating

W/O quick connects it would be messy.

I do like the screw together model you used, instead of push on. Do you know who makes those, or where you found them? I'm only finding the push on...

Many thanks !!

I have a Snap on unit, it came with a quick connect on it and does not spill a drop when disconnected. The connector is something you would see on a tractor attachment or snow plow.
