You don't understand how much b.s. this saved me from. I have a dump truck that barely lifts itself empty. I just need to adjust this...Thank-you from Rhode Island!
Anyway possible to increase the flow of these pumps ?? They run at around 1.5-2 gpm…. Would be nice to get 3gpm. Would lift the dump body probably twice as quick…
I have a bale bed on my truck. It won't lift the arms up or down or side to side. Could it be the pump. Is all signal action can they be turned into double act
On a normal daily used situation I would recommend at least one 850 cca battery. But it’s a good idea to have to hooked in parallel to double the amperage.
ive got a pump like this but it has 2 solenoids and another adjustment on the other side. now does the adjustments do the opposite side? (like this appears to do), mine does have forward and reverse rotation. 0
It should have a pressure and a tank port/return you’ll have to get a spool valve of some kind run you’re in an out from your pump and then you’ll have the spool valve to reverse the flow to whatever you’re working.
@@backintheshop9604 Awesome! Thanks for the quick response! The pump is a hydr-app 24 volt that I just bought from eBay. I am going to use it to power a hydraulic lift mechanism on an rc track drive robot. I have a mill and a lathe, so I might machine a spool for it to make it double action later on.
Hi how bout. Wiring 12 volt pump.. my hydraulic pump has one wire out back .I need to look at box on the side . By knob. Probably pressure knob. Says not over 1000 pounds. It’s a small platform lift lol. Can’t find non like it. Fabtek think they sold out to hyster I read. ?? I’m just learning, but I can start a Harley. Lol
I have a single acting pump but my gravity down goes down very slow. Do you think I have a bad solenoid. I’d rather make it a duel solenoid system but don’t know what to do with the second port
Yes, your solenoid is most likely bad. To use one as a double action, you just have to have a spool valve with a in and out and then you can use it to control the direction of pressure.
@@backintheshop9604 My solenoid on a older Fennel fluid pump doesn’t have a part number on it. Are most solenoids coils within the same voltage interchangeable or are they pump specific? Having a hard time figuring where to start my part replacement search.
@@truhawaii5957 most of the solenoid coils are the same either 12 or 24 V but I’m pretty sure the work on either. The part that’s different is the stem or mechanical part that the coil fits on that is going to be more specific to your pump you may be able to remove it and take it to a local Hydraulic shop and see if they can identify or match it up by dimension.
I have a hydraulic pump like yours but I cannot see how you wired it. I believe I have it wired correctly but all it does is click, it will not circulate the fluid. Can send me a picture of how you wired it? or link? I am using a 2 prong toggle switch for the lift. If it would work better using a 3 wire up & down controller, I might have to do that.
Mine just has a power and a ground hook up. The solenoid and remote are already pre-wired. I just tapped into there is no wires for my extended remote. You should be able to look up the model of your pump and find a wire diagram on Google images or the manufacture website.
I’ve got a 10,000# dump trailer and it won’t lift 6 ton in the trailer! Can I adjust more pressure even if it’s set to factory specs? The pump I have runs when going up and going down?
It's never a good idea to change the pressure over factory spec with dump trucks / trailers they usually get worn out from contamination dirt gets thru the breather wears out the pump and the lift cylinders but the weakest part is probly the piston seals on the lift cylinder
@@ViVA-MEXICO-AMLO I’d be more than happy to do that if that’s what it takes to dump heavier loads as it should…..very frustrating getting 3 yds of trap rock and the dump trailer won’t dump it…..doing it by hand is defeating the purpose of using a dump trailer!
So, if I'm going to be running a cylinder on a dump trailer with a max working pressure of 2200psi, what would be the best pressure to set the pump at?
I need help with a porta power pump I bought that doesn't Force the fluid to the cylinder a video on that would be cool there's not much on the internet about them
Check the fluid level, make sure all of the couplers are actually releasing, so the fluid can flow other than that. You may have to disassemble the entire thing and do some investigating.
Fluid was good. I swapped the pumps with one I borrowed and used the hoses and the cylinder from the kit and everything worked normally. So it's something inside the pump. And that's were I have an ignorance overload.😅..I just can't grasp the overall mechanics of the thing until someone explains it to me.. I have the vevor 12 ton jack.
I have a lowboy trailer using the same hydraulic system. The trailer will go up but leaks down in about 30 seconds. It has two way cylinders that pressure down. I took the check valves out and they seem to be working. What do you think the problem is ?
Lifting and turning is all in the valving you use the levers and valves, most bucket trucks only have one pump on them but they have to be dual action pumps.
maybe could help me..my pump is used on a tow rig aswell every is working but my wheni need to open l arms it doesn't open makes a clicking sound like it's out of fluid
It sounds like one of your Solenoid valves is bad. You’ll have to figure out which one controls the arms. If it’s clicking the solenoid it self should be fine but I would check and make sure you have a good 12 volts to it. The valve threads into the block and the solenoid fits onto it you remove the solenoid and then unthread the valve. The pressure relief valve it’s just for Max pressuring you shouldn’t need to adjust it it’s been working
My friend hi you doing I have 2013 ford f550 dump no work I press the botton up doing nothingI press the raise button and it doesn't do anything it doesn't make a noise like it's dead 
You must not have seen many hydraulic pumps, mine on my dump truck is single acting, and it only has on port not two. And I just replaced it with the same pump and again one port two, not one being plugged just one port, it raises up and gravity feeds back down. Just to let you know there are lots of single acting pumps that have only one port.
@@backintheshop9604 I understand all that believe me I have worked on plenty of them, but what you said in the video was that all pumps come with two ports and that is not correct, you can buy single action pumps with only one port like the two I have, they are designed to replace PTO pumps that gravity feed back down on older trucks like My 59 Ford dump truck. You said you have never seen a single acting pump with only one port, I just wanted to let you know they do make them and they are available for people who need them. Look up part number 36NE08 on the Grainger website and you will see what I am talking about ..One port single acting pump, not two ports. I think your doing great with describing thing and how they work, but if you tell people that all pumps have two ports, then you are misleading them, because there are plenty of single acting pumps with only one port on them.
Oh okay I understand. Yeah I haven’t personally seen one with only on port. I guess if you needed to change it you’d have to installed a return port in the tank. Thanks for the info.
My solenoid just clicks when I press my buttons... And motor does not come on when I connect it directly. IT'S BRAND NEW!!! NEVER BEEN USED... COULD IT BE VOLTAGE? BATTERY IS NOT COMPLETELY AT 12V ON THE VOLT METER
I will check your battery. Make sure it’s good and all your connections are good. If that all checks out I would say you have a brand new defective pump.
I got to looking on mine, mine has 2 of where yours has only 1, mine is a dual I believe, going to 2 cylinders, up and down, also mine doesn't sound like this does, btw mine is a northern tool brand
Thank you mate I watched your video of how to adjust the pressure in my trucks tipper pump and now the it works perfect 👍👍👍
Great instruction on this pump. Keep up the great work.
Great!
You don't understand how much b.s. this saved me from. I have a dump truck that barely lifts itself empty. I just need to adjust this...Thank-you from Rhode Island!
Definitely try that first but your pump might be weak.
Yea the pump is dead. Motor runs fast but acts like it is low on fluid...I'll just get a brand new used pump. Thank tho.
Nice video. I have a dual acting pump. How could I set up a permanent psi gauge?
ans also what does adjusting psi do make it faster slower?
Anyway possible to increase the flow of these pumps ?? They run at around 1.5-2 gpm…. Would be nice to get 3gpm. Would lift the dump body probably twice as quick…
TENGO UNA BOMBA HIDRAULICA DE 24VDC DE 3KW, ¿EL ARRANCADOR QUE TIENES EN EL VIDEO ES FACTIBLE PARA PRENDERLO?

I enjoyed watching your video.twas properly explained.i have an exact pump that's suddenly stopped.help needed.give thanks 👍🏾
Great job
Very informative.Would like to know what power source you are using to drive it, what amps does it deliver?
Tks.
On a normal daily used situation I would recommend at least one 850 cca battery. But it’s a good idea to have to hooked in parallel to double the amperage.
ive got a pump like this but it has 2 solenoids and another adjustment on the other side. now does the adjustments do the opposite side? (like this appears to do), mine does have forward and reverse rotation.

It should only have one pressure relief/adjustment the other one might be just a plug.
I have a single acting pump off a pallet lifter. Looks very similar to this one. Question is, how would you go about converting it to double action?
It should have a pressure and a tank port/return you’ll have to get a spool valve of some kind run you’re in an out from your pump and then you’ll have the spool valve to reverse the flow to whatever you’re working.

A cuantos amperios funciona el motor o de cuantos amperios es la fuente de alimentación al que lo conectaste ?
Are the pressure the same going an down my trailer up is strong coming down has little power to lift anything up on the end of the trailer?
They should be same. If there not you probably have a bad solenoid.
Thank you, this adjustment helped me with my dump trailer build,
Do u know any way to slow the return? As my trailer tipps back down fairly fast
Is yours gravity down?
@@backintheshop9604 Mine is, do you know a way to slow?
Yes I’m just learning about this myself you can get an adjustable flow valve for about 60 bucks You can find them all over the Internet.
I have 2013 f550 dupm dont work I press the raise button and it doesn't do anything it doesn't make a noise like it's dead can you help please?

Appreciate it video
What model is this pump or brand

Hi, how do you adjust the down speed. I used a pump like this on a 2 post lift, but it comes down very slowly. Can it be adjusted?
Cheers C
Is it electric solenoid control for the down function?
Yes bud, basically same as yours but mine has square oil reserve.
There’s no way to adjust electric valve You might need to try to find one with a higher flow rate.
@@backintheshop9604 Thanks for your help, that answers my question.
So, if I'm going to be running a cylinder on a dump trailer with a max working pressure of 2200psi, what would be the best pressure to set the pump at?
You will want to set it to 2200. That way you don’t blow out your cylinder when it hits the end.
All cly have a safe rating and best not to ever go above it😊

If there’s not trash in the pump valves and they look fine the cylinder probably needs repacked.
Will that pump lift a bucket truck boom and turn it also?
Not sure your set up but yes it should work.
Lifting and turning is all in the valving you use the levers and valves, most bucket trucks only have one pump on them but they have to be dual action pumps.
Wiring connecting hoses
very goo!
Whats the benefit of adjusting the pressure?
Lifting more but it can also damage the pump if you over the limits

Check stem on solenoid for rust
Happens to new ones also

A hole lot of talking about his plans with the pump. Just get to the point
