electric hydraulic lifts to change tires
I have a 98 Born Free rv and was wondering if there are any electric lifts that could help me change a tire, along with a 3/4 pneumatic wrench.

The reason there is no CFM rating is that air jacks don't "use" air.
Air tools usually have some sort of turbine that air flowing spins. The used air is then exhausted out of the tool. If you don't have a minimum continuous CFM, the tool will operate for a short time and then slow down and eventually stop. You will then need to wait for the compressor to rebuild tank pressure.
Air jacks have a sealed chamber that traps the compressed air until you release it (when you lower the jack).
Any compressor that can reach the rated pressure of the jack will work. The question is how long will it take the compressor to reach the required pressure under load? The stronger compressors will raise the jack faster.
