windsheild pump for bed?
 

i was wondering if i could use a windshield wiper sprayer pump as a pump for a dump bed? i got two single action pneumatic cylinders i want to use they are spring return, and two really small double action cylinders. just for a dump d=bed that don't need to move fast would this work? i seen some really small windshield wiper pumps. and going by my car that send water over the car and about two cars back it seems to have a far amount of power?

any input would help thanks!

Honestly I don't know if it would work well or not. So my advice would be to try it. Set up the dumping box on your bench if not in a truck already, fill her up with the most weight you think will be in it and see how it works.

I have to agree. I don't think it will have enough pressure though but I would like to see if it does so give it a try. You may discover something that we all could benefit from!

Hurry up and find a friend to help you see how strong it is! Better yet just tear the pump out of your car and hook it up on the bench!lol

well got a buddy to test the pump and its not very strong. be great for a hydraulic spring

That's too bad but at least you gave it a go. It takes really tight tolerances though to make any amount of pressure.
