Does not look very substantial. Bend radius is fairly large. Can't go hydraulic. I would pass.

Isn't it already hydraulic?? If there is a hydraulic jack already in there you could add a different cylinder with a non manual pump. *I do agree the radius is rather large and you would have to get plans for that radi or make all your plans around that. It might be ok for simple stuff. (bumpers?) Bill

Yeah, you are right. It is hydraulic. I was thinking motorized rather than manual. Thanks for mentioing that.
