"I have an extra set of OMC hydraulic rams and a pump from a 3.0 OMC, I'm thinking of modifying my truck by adding a dump bed, I was wondering what these rams are capable of. How many pounds can they push? any body know? What about the pump?"
 
"Ayuh,....... I think you'

"Ayuh,....... I think you'll be Disappointed.......

The Hyd. Pump is a low pressure pump that'll push Maybe 1000psi.....
And the Rams are I believe only 1" pistons....

I had the same Idea,+ built this trailer for my ATV,.....
It'll lift,+ dump it's load, only with a very Small load......

1 possiblity is to use Rams with a larger Piston diameter,.....
Just do the Math to see how much Push you need....

Btw,...... Mine is a Mercruiser Pump,+ Rams,...
But your OMC is No more powerful...."
