I've started to look at building my own cylinder bench and would love to see guys who have done their own to get some idea.
You can use air powered for the bench and nut buster, capacity 30,000lbs ft. Single action, spring return cylinders. Nut buster requires moving the single acting cylinder from one side to the opposite side, e.g. loosening, than tightening.As for a hyd power I was thinking a guy could use the hyd off of the truck. Just plumb in some remote connections.
Another example video, fast forward to 2:33...CAT 6V4948 repair bench with Sweeney 8100 torque multiplier, capacity 12,500lbs ft.I doubt that 15,000 ft lbs would take that cylinder nut off if it was it's first time
Any leads or tel #’s on the benches for sale in Cal?I copied local Cat dealer's bench, approximately $2500.00 for steel, double action hydraulic cylinder, hose reel etc plus $1800.00 for hydraulic power pack. You'll also need a overhead jib-crane or you could use a service truck crane to pick up and rotate the cylinder rod-head and cylinder barrel, required when honing and removing the head assembly off of the rod.
There are 2-3 benches for sale in S. Cal if your interested.
