Power Units

Power units are the hydraulic heart of a car lift, driving the cylinders that raise and hold the load. Whether you're replacing a failed unit or upgrading an aging one, matching the right power unit to your lift keeps it moving smooth and lifting to full capacity. This collection covers hydraulic power units for a range of lifts, with options across voltage and phase.

Replacing or Upgrading a Power Unit

A worn power unit shows up as slow lifts, weak holding, or noisy operation. Swapping in a fresh unit restores performance, and it's often the difference between a lift that limps and one that works like new. When you replace, match the pump flow, reservoir size, and mounting to your existing lift so it drops in clean.

What to Look For in a Power Unit

• Voltage and phase: Confirm whether your shop runs single-phase or three-phase and match the motor.
• Motor horsepower: Enough power to lift your rated load at a reasonable speed.
• Reservoir capacity: Size the tank to hold enough fluid for full cylinder travel.
• Fittings and ports: Match the hydraulic connections to your lift's plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which power unit fits my lift?

Match the voltage, phase, motor size, and hydraulic fittings to your lift's original specs. When in doubt, have your lift model and old unit's details handy before ordering.

What's the difference between single-phase and three-phase power units?

Single-phase runs on common residential and light-commercial power, while three-phase requires the appropriate commercial service. Choose the one your shop is wired for.

Can I use a power unit on a different brand of lift?

Often yes, as long as the flow, pressure, voltage, and fittings match. Universal-style units fit many lifts, but always verify the specs against your equipment.
