Hi Rudi, the cylinder in the pics is from a 2 Ton engine crane - the ram is rated at 8 Tons and is the same length etc as the popular haborfreight model, but I have now replaced it with a new air/hydraulic ram which is exactly the same length etc but much better quality...rudog wrote:OK! What's the skinny on that cylinder: Bore, Stroke, FreeLength???
This is next on my TTD list.
Most 2 ton engine cranes have an 8 ton ram, I've been swapping the ram between the crane and bender until I bought 2 new air/hydraulic rams - 1 for the bender and the other to update my bike table....rudog wrote:Thanx Maz. Funny...I didn't realise that I had one already until you mentioned engine crane. On a side, I also found my largest pry bar stuffed down the boom. I lost it about 5 years ago.
Hi George, I tried buying them direct from Harborfreight but they messed me aroung for weeks.....but I eventually found a small USA tool company who was prepared to ship them for me - I'll look up the invoice but they were really expensive. I'll pm you the details when I get home from work.....gebear wrote:Hi maz
Where can you get the air/hyd rams and what sort of cost are they....
Cheers babe

Thanks Thomas, I tried ordering direct from both Canadian and American suppliers but they won't ship to the UK even though they say they will on their websites....I did find an independant American tool supplier who did ship 2 air/hydraulic rams for me - I'll share the info when I can find where my daughter put the paperworkjonester123 wrote:Hi maz and gebear, i got my 8 ton ram ordered from http://www.princessauto.ca they have them for $130.00 not bad price but shipping might be expensive depending on where you live. Not sure if they have princess auto in the united states. Hope it helps.
