Dan, I'm sure if you wanted, you could plumb the pump to a hydraulic manifold block with valves, but the thing is I don't know that this pump is really designed to be run continuously. I don't know anyone who has run one like that either. You'd have to figure that out first. The other thing is I don't remember the one I had having a relief valve on it. You might want one, if your intention is to run it a lot. Also, rotation would be important. It's run in reverse to let the hoist cylinder down, thus it doesn't need a valve in a dump truck application, but if you want to run multiple cylinders, they will deadhead the oil, and that's probably not a good thing for the pump. Under dump truck applications, when it deadheads the hoist, the operator shuts it off right away.
