BIG RED T30806 Torin Hydraulic Long Ram

As noted in the question section, this will fit a Harbor Freight 2 ton hoist. However, the Torin ram is slightly larger in diameter than the Harbor Freight ram. Because of that, the boom will not retract quite as far as with the original ram. Function is fine, this is mainly a stowage issue. Picture shows the boom fully retracted. I also was not sure whether the ram was shipped full of oil, so I topped it up. It definitely took a bit to get it full to the plug level, but I'm not sure exactly how much I put in. I also did an air purge before trying to operate the unit. That all went fine, although I had to go online to refer to instructions (no instructions arrived with the unit). I do like that it has a screw-in oil plug as opposed to a press-in rubber one. The unit was also not packed well enough to withstand Fedex/UPS shipping. It was actually falling out of the box on the porch, and the driver rang the bell to let me know. There was no apparent damage, but maybe that's how the instructions got lost, who knows. In summary, no harm no foul on any this, but these are a few things to be aware of.
