<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri','sans-serif';COLOR:#1f497d;FONT-SIZE:11pt">Why complicate matters with hydraulic rams if you lift the front of the trailer what is going to hold the weight of the sub and trailer I will be using the natural fall of the ramp to lower the sub down the slip. Save your money if you still want to lift the font of the trailer use large jockey wheels and just raise the trailer by turning the handle my trailer jockey wheel lifts about twelve inches.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Im making some modifications to my trailer. i wondered if anyone could give me some advice re: hydraulic rams. What im trying to do is get 2 rams that will lift the front of the trailer so the sub can be winched down ramps onto the floor. Ive made wheels that will replace the skids. Pics to follow, not quite finished yet.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, i know very little about hydraulic rams. I dont know whether i should be looking for rams with a pump? There seems to be loads of rams on ebay but very few with the pump, and i havent a clue what i need in that respect. This one looks ok?<u></u><u></u></p>
