Stopped by one of the local liquidation stores yesterday, and hidden in the back on one of the shelves was a partial QuickJack 5000TL car lift. These come shipped in three separate boxes, unfortunately all they had was right hand side frame assembly. Lady was motivated to sell, so I was able to get it reasonably cheap.
These are somewhat limited lifts, and only lift around 5k pounds 24"...but they should be reasonably handy for someone with minimal space. You can actually buy individual frame assemblies for around $550 shipped, or buy a cylinder for $250 and build the frame yourself. The complete lift itself is around $1700.
Here's my question. Bendpak sells just about everything else from the lift.....but wont sell the hydraulic power pack separately, so I would have to source my own power pack. I've been looking online, and generic packs are readily available for hydraulic dump trailers. As long as I can figure out the required specs, any reason one of these wouldn't work? Seems like as long as the PSI matched and reservoir was large enough, it *should* work fine.
