Nissan cabstar needs a new ram

[Rowden the cowboy]

Hi all,

 

Our nissan cabstar e120 is on its way to needing a new ram: its got one of those crappy scissor lift rams atm, but we’d like to upgrade it to a multi stage ram that can actually tip when its slightly overloaded. However, no one round here seems to be able to do it! It would require welding another crossmember futher up the chassis to mount the larger ram and power pack, but seems relatively straight forward. Does anyone know of anyone in the Hampshire area ( near Romsey) who is able to do a professional job on it? Vehicle is quite old (y reg).

 

Cheers, Matt

+1 for Boulters Tippers. Used them for a bit of fabricating on my lorry. Fitted me in straight away and very reasonable cost as well :thumbup:

Did you have any joy with this? Need to change the crappy scissos ram on mine. Anyone know if you could keep the existing pump and couple a new sectional ram to it?

I can't see why not, you'd need to fab new mounting points for the ram and ensure that the reservoir held sufficent fluid reserves.
