In this review, the author suggests converting a conventional manual hydraulic bottle-type jack into an automatic one. This will require a working engine from the car wipers and metal scraps.
First, cut a small piece of steel pipe, after which it needs to be cut in half. On one side of the workpiece must be connected using a furniture hinge. On the other hand, the author welds a nut.
Next, you need to prepare a bottle jack, and cut off two pieces of metal strip. They should be the same length.
The main stages of work
Using a grinder, you need to strip the paint on the body of the hand jack so that you can weld two strips parallel to each other.
At the next stage, a home-made collar should be welded to the free ends of the strips, with which the motor from the car wipers will be mounted.
Next, from a piece of plate, it is necessary to cut a disk in which the author drills two holes. The result is a homemade eccentric. After that, you can proceed directly to the assembly of the entire structure. A battery is used as a power source.
For details on how you can convert a manual bottle jack into an automatic one by yourself, we recommend that you watch the video on the website. Write in the comments what you think about this homemade product.
