DC HOUSE 12V Hydraulic Pump Hydraulic Power Unit Electric Dump Trailer Power Unit (Double Acting 6 Quart)

This hydraulic pump has been working very well for a while now and never any issues!

Boy my dump truck loves it's hydrolics. Easy installation and such a great price. Couldn't do business without it!

Performs as advertised.

This unit did come complete with instructions but unit itself leaves a lot to be desired. First off, it’s important to note this unit doesn’t ground through mount, it requires an external ground wire run to the mount from the negative post for it to work. After wiring up unit and getting it to work, I found that the controller was wired backwards and the up button made the dump bed drop and the down button raised my dump bed. After solving that issue I ram the bed up only to have it bleed off immediately till the dump bed was resting on the frame. After pulling apart one of the selonoids I found that all of the orings and backers were installed improperly and ruined. I feel like the unit will work well once I replace all the orings and backers in the system. You shouldn’t have to do this on a new unit. Also, there isn’t a way to message the company for product support/partial refund which is frustrating. It’s a good buy for what you get but be prepared to do hydraulic troubleshooting to get it to work.

Worked great on my dump truck trailer was easy to use and got me back on the road quick

It came very quickly and was exactly what I wanted but I haven't installed it so I don't know how it works.

Packaging is not sufficient to protect the electronic relays. The box arrived with the unit shipped upside down and the little clear plastic housing for the relays were broke. I took them off my old pump to make this one functional.I use this pump to operate an 18" cylinder on a tilt-bed shed delivery trailer. I searched until I found this specific model, with the box-shaped tank. The old pump on the trailer had a round tank. My old pump lasted about 3 years with nearly daily operation. Both the old and new pumps use a pair of 1" long bolts (not included) to mount, from the underside. On the old pump, these bolts kept breaking or coming out, due to the heavy vibration on the trailer. It had no other way to secure the pump. On this new pump, I added a piece of 8" channel iron to the trailer frame to support the box tank, and be able to strap it down to hopefully reduce the vibration and keep the bolts from breaking or unscrewing.Of particular note is that the brass hose fittings provided did not match up with my hydraulic hoses and I had to search several parts stores to find hose adapters that fit. The parts store guy said the female sockets in the pump manifold were "5 boss" size. My hoses used "6 boss".Also, this pump sometimes coasts and doesn't always act as a brake if you have a hydraulic cylinder extended with weight on it. There were some holes on the top of the pump motor housing that I was concerned might let water in, so I sealed them with RTV Silicon. This pump was mounted low on a trailer, so I sealed all the electronic parts with RTV.

Installed this on my F-550 dump, works good, had 5 ton of stone in and hoist went up with ease.I had to get 2 new fittings at a local hose store , It comes with odd ball size fittings on the pump that your hoses hook up to.Easy install. about 20 minutes if you are good with wrenches.
