This VEVOR hydraulic power unit is an electric pump and reservoir assembly for lifting equipment. It runs on 220V, is rated at 2950 PSI and works as a single-acting unit, meaning it pushes up under power and lowers by gravity. The listing presents it as a replacement power pack for car lifts and similar systems.
What it is and how it works
A hydraulic power unit has an electric motor that drives a pump, which moves oil from a reservoir into a cylinder. The oil pressure pushes the cylinder out and lifts the load. In a single-acting system, the oil is pushed in one direction only. To lower the load, a valve releases the oil and gravity brings the lift back down. VEVOR lists this unit as "power up and gravity down".
The numbers
- Motor: 220V AC, 2.2 kW (the title says 3 HP), 60 Hz.
- Maximum relief pressure: 2,950 PSI. The relief valve limits the pressure in the system, and VEVOR says it makes operation safer.
- Reservoir: 14 litres (about 3.5 gallons), made of specially treated plastic.
- Size and weight: 36.6 x 15.0 x 14.6 inches (about 93 x 38 x 37 cm) and 45 lb (about 20 kg).
Where it is used
VEVOR says it suits two- and four-post car lifts and small to medium lifting platforms. It also lists compatibility with many dump trailers and movers, and describes it as a direct replacement for hydraulic systems. Because lifts differ, the pressure, flow and fittings need to match the original system.
Set-up
The unit is assembled before shipping. VEVOR says the wiring is simple, with operating instructions included, and that extra connectors are supplied for replacement. A 220V motor needs a suitable supply, and electrical work should follow local codes and the manual, with a qualified electrician where the rules require one.
A note on safety
Lifts carry heavy loads, such as vehicles. Any change to the hydraulic system on a lift should follow the lift maker's guidance, and a load should be supported with the lift's mechanical locks, not by hydraulic pressure alone. Follow the manual for filling, bleeding and maintenance.
Who it suits
It suits owners and workshops that need a replacement or upgrade for the power pack on a car lift or a similar system, and who have 220V power available.
What to check before you buy
- Voltage and frequency: 220V at 60 Hz, single-acting.
- Pressure: compare 2,950 PSI with the lift's rated pressure.
- Cylinder type: confirm that your lift is single-acting.
- Fittings: check port sizes and hose connections.
- Reservoir: 14 litres should suit your cylinder volume.
- Oil: check the manual for the correct hydraulic fluid.
