Snap -on engine hoist questions...

[1982fxr]

I came across a Snap-on cherry picker that does not lift. You pump the handle and nothing. Don't have any more info or a model # as of now, thoughts on taking a chance on it? It would be part of a trade that I would be doing decent on...

Also, where are/would have been any metal ID tags? Just want to make sure it isn't some other brand with a Snap-on decal or something. Thoughts on the difficulty/expense of trying to fix it?

thanks

They can be rebuilt pretty easily probably just needs some seals and fluid. I would message member Hiball he can tell you anything there is to know.

Snap-on sells the seal kits for their cherry pickers, look in the online catalog.

do they still sell cherry pickers themselves? Couldn't find any on the website...

I didn't see any current models, Here is a link to some past models. Those long jacks aren't terribly hard to rebuild, nor expensive... As long as there isn't any internal cylinder issues or its sat outside in the elements.

Not to be a jerk , but was the lowering valve closed tight, and possibly it only needs fluid. Either way a hydro jack is an easy rebuild if you have some talent.
