Review: Came sooner "thank you" - Came sooner than expected (thank you) Works perfectly for my snow bear snow plow
Review: These Linear Actuators are of OUTSTANDING quality! - I’ve been using these linear actuators for more than three years. I use it for a wheelchair lift, to get my wheelchairs in and out of my car, so reliability is of the utmost importance! It is by far the most reliable piece of equipment I’ve seen for this purpose. Customer support and technical help is superb! I’m buying my second unit, not because the first one in any way is deteriorating, but I’m using a faster model. (It’s actually the same unit, with different gearing.) Again, if I could give them 6 stars, I would!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came sooner "thank you"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These Linear Actuators are of OUTSTANDING quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very solid build. Excellent drawings and documentation. Used for pickup truck handicap lift.
*by K***R on November 4, 2023*

Installed on a lift that looks like a running board. The running board goes to the ground and up using a remote fob. A 300 pound person creates about 1000 pounds load on the linear actuator. My setup has a 1:3 ratio. I added 100 pounds to 900 to get to 1000 pounds. The 2000 pound actuator does the job with ease. I used the 8" stroke and added limit switches. This actuator replaces the obsolete HydraMotion cylinder S/N 11245. Motor marked PE270980 12VDC. Lift designed by Startrack(s) Lifts in Indiana in 2018.
