Default Hydraulic Scissor lift for End Dump

I have a full length hydraulic end dump trailer that has a direct lift cylinder underneath near the very back. I want to switch to a scissor style lift closer to the middle. My questions for all is which one has the highest lift ability? I am hearing the Lesu scissor lift only goes up like 6 inches or so. Any of them extend to 8-10or more when fully extended?

here is the trailer and how it is set up when I got it. Well it is so long that when it is fill up, there is WAY TOO MUCH stress on the frame and box from lifting it only a few inches from the back... I'd like to be lifting from closer to the middle.

Sounds like a cool project!

The board doesn't let you direct upload pics. Upload to a 3rd party host, copy the url here with img tags around it.

I looked at several and it was my understanding that this is the biggest system I could find.

That hyd scissor lift in your picture is not meant for semi trl dump, won't have the power to lift a full box of dirt. That's designed more for a trk box scale length of 14 or 15 foot.

I think it's Lesu that offers a decent 4 stage hydraulic telescope cylinder that might stroke long enough for that box length, cyl would connect to the front of box. And I think they have screw drive too, the same one I'm using on the same trl in your picture. The Lesu website must be new & under construction b/c I can't see anything past their opening page & the search gives a blank page.

This link takes you to one Lesu's trk kits showing the hyd telescope within a serires of pics, it's all I can get to work on their site. The description says 5 stage, but that includes the bottom barrel that holds the extending 4 barrels.
