I added a remote pump to my hydraulic jack.
I remember that, and was looking through gOOgle how to do it. Results not at all clear or encouraging, so I'd like to see how you did it.
Also, where did you source the Hand Pump? How many Ton/PSI?
I wonder, Would it be possible to cannibalize a jack to serve as the Pump? Connect a Hydraulic Hose from Modified Jack "A" (the one with the handle to pump) with a Hose to Modified Jack "B" (that does the lifting)? More I think about it, "Pump Jack A" would have at least the oil capacity of "Lift Jack B"
This one shows Oil Capacity 0.5-Liter, what, about 17-Ounces? Probably enough.
For not much more than I see a pump priced at, there are "Porto-Power" kits that might be useful. Adapt a jack to that pump...
First, I forgot I found the information under adding pressure gauge to hydraulic jack. Just add pump instead of gauge.
Be aware that some of the pipe fittings might be National Pipe Straight, NPS, instead of National Pipe Tapper, NPT, because of the higher pressure.
I think the pump came from e-bay.
I've also seen them new with pipe benders.
