Majestic_Aquariums Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Well, looks as though they would definately be strong enough. Any idea on the cost? I would just need the smallest one for sure. But this got me to thinking that they would be handy to have on my ice shack for next winter. The thing is 1000 lbs. I have 4 jacks on it already, but they aren't the greatest anymore-took a few rough rides on the lake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucky Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well the whole process gets a little expensive but looks cool. First go to pricess auto and grab two air drive pistons. The length ranges from 2" to about 17" and cost anywhere from $5-$30, next you have to grab a throttle valve(this helps control the spped in which the pistons move, wihtout this you risk blowing out your pistons) and costs about $6 and then finally grab the acutator, you will only need the actuator if you want it to be air driven in both directions up and down, Cost $79. Sorry the pistons will have to be a dual port, in order to drive it both directions. After all that I went to canadian tire and purched a cheap 120v air pump to run the whole system. Princess auto has an entire display to show the full operation, and you will find this located in the hydraulics section. Hope this helps.

Majestic_Aquariums Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well, we kept it simple as it turns out-pulleys. But thanks everyone-I now have some cool ideas for OUR next stand!!! Finally, I can start to think about it, can't quite start yet though. June perhaps? That 230 in the dining room is starting to bug the hell out of me to see it empty!
