I've got two lift gates from commercial trucks. They are about 7' wide, and have large folding platforms. I don't have any vehicles that these would fit. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can make out of them? I was thinking of just using the cylinder, pump, and electronics. Maybe a log splitter, but I see issues with that. Any other suggestions. 12volt power allows for portability and flexibility. Thoughts?
Just sell them on Craig's list then go use the money on a down payment for a new Hypertherm plasma cutter or something. :DQuote:

Adjustable work tables. The only down side would be no walk around access.
Or like others said just sell them.

I just sold one for $100. They don't seem to sell for much

The pumps/cylinders would not be well suited for any kind of "near continuous" duty such as a log splitter. You would very quickly overheat the motor and hydraulics.
These components are fairly well suited for use in applications such as a small crane boom or an engine hoist type apparatus.
Hopefully you won't suffer much $ loss in selling them.
We have a dump flatbed pickup made with one
Gas company I used to use has them mounted to the building to raise and lower cylinders to exchange.
Why not cut them down to size to fit a standard pick up bed? Do you have a full size pick up truck?Quote:
