Hydraulic motor for tipper. Advice please

Recommended Posts

I think I need a new hydraulic motor for my tipper. I have taken the old one off. (See pic). The solenoid has defo gone, I think the motor needs a recon, it's leaking from somewhere.

I have found a new flowfit one for £165.00 (I thought a good price)

I can't see anyone reconditioning that for much less.  The tipper is single action.  The new flowfit one has a 4.5 litre reservoir.  I think mine is 6 litre.

Do people think 4.5 litre is enough?

Thanks in advance for any advice

If the ram needs more than 4.5 litres to fill and fully extend it then it won't tip up as far, also the motor will spin the pump dry and sucking air.

Just for people's info.  I replaced my power pack with a flowfit 8 litre reservoir to be on the safe side. I think 4.5 litre would be plenty for a transit tipper. Loads left in tank at full extension. But the 8 litre was only a couple of quid extra
