Hi Jim,  
Thanks for that.  Im probably going to keep it simple and go with  Grahams 
idea of jockey wheels.  But, im still interested in knowing more  about 
vehicle hydraulics as its something i know little about.  Will  almost certainly 
need it for my next sub project.
Many thanks

Hi James,  

If still interested in hydraulic power look at _www.surpluscenter.com_ 
(http://www.surpluscenter.com/) . They have all in one 12 volt power  packs that 
include a motor and hydraulic pump and resevoir. They also have a  wide 
range of hydraulic cylinders.

I have used them many times. Great people.

Best Regards,

Jim Kocourek

yes,  thats not a bad idea Graham.  I'll make the ramps this weekend and  
see how high i need to jack up the trailer, not much i dont think.   Jockey 
wheels would probably be ok.

Hi  James 
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.

Subject:  [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydraulic Ram Advice?

Hi All,

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.

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?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Iskra-Hydraulic-Pump-3-Rams-Hoses-Atos-Cetop-Valve
s-and-Gauges-/161340505068?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2590a4bbec#ht_557w
t_977  

Or this one is a manual one, which would probably be  ok?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hydraulic-ram-and-2-stage-hand-pump-Suit-log-split
ter-or-engine-hoist-/251567274389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a9293f995#
ht_82wt_977

Or should i be looking for something else?   Bottle jacks?  or rams that 
trucks use to stabalise  them?

Any advice gratefully recieved.  I suppose we  best take this off list as 
its not really sub  related.

Many thanks

James
