[PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydraulic Ram Advice?

[kocpnt tds.net via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi James,

If still interested in hydraulic power look at 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
