KTI-12VDA6Q Compact 12 VDC Hydraulic Power Unit with Single Double Acting and 6 Quart Capacity for Smooth Operation

Stellar quality vs the cheaper imports. Trust us, we know 1st hand. We have tried the happy ones and find them difficult to plumb and work very slow compared to the KTI. This KTI unit can be found in some dump trailers made in the USA. The price point makes it a perfect replacement choice for our dump trailers. We have used the SPX and have had similar quality results, but a bit more expensive. Seen the Monarch pumps, but the price puts them out of our reach. But why would we ever try with the KTI proving its self over and over. The range in PSI and it's adjustability give it a range of uses. From the factory it needs no adjustment for a dump trailer. We did increase the pressure to max, using a test gauge, for a roll-off system with hydraulic winch to get the fastest speed and max pulling power. Easy to plumb with sae size fittings and wiring diagram included, unlike the cheap import version. Have not had any issues with the cheaper ones other than plumbing and lacking instructions. But save the headache of trying to figure things out. This is a must buy for anyone needing a replacement pump and remote for a dump trailer.Thanks Amazon and KTI.

Works very well and no issues with the installation

Very nice pump, good quality, American fittings. When I pulled this thing out of the box, I thought thank god. You could tell it wasn't junk!! I was hesitant cause It was a $100.00 more than that Chinese ones, and worth every penny. Getting tired of cheap products. got it in about 4 or 5 days, the directions were very clear on how to hook it up. I would absolutely but this pump again. Fabricated a rack on the back of my motor home with 2 hydraulic cylinders to raise my 800 lb harley. Did it with no signs of struggle at all. Works perfect.

This thang looks great and sounds good but won’t lift 1/2 of what my last one did. I guess I got a bad one.

It works as advertised. Comes pre-wired, saving me the hassle. Smaller than the unit I’m replacing. But at least as powerful. I’ve only used it a couple of times since installed it, busy so far so good. Will update review if anything changes.

works to control remote hydraulics on equipment

When I opened the box I found an awesome hydraulic pump system. But the control unit plastic cover was broken. When I called the customer service that I received was reminiscent of the 90s. Not only did I get off the phone feeling good but I also received the replacement in 4 days.

So, first thing first it DOES, at least mine did. Comes with a 2 button remote which sucks because this is supposed to be a dual pump. Ergo, a power, AND a gravity down. I'm not spending a extra $100 for a special remote. So, because of this, as of right now it is 4 stars. I asked a question about only using one line, my current setup is gravity down. So I thought this would be perfect, I could hookup a secondary line later. I was informed by the seller to call the manufacturer, I did. I was explicity told that because I DID NOT buy from them directly and bought a pump from a online seller, even though this seller is a distributor, they will not warranty the pump. When, I asked him my question about running line because this is supposed to have a gravity down function. He informed me that if I did, I would ruin the pump. If someone could explain to me how a FEATURE would ruin the product, i would be greatly appreciative. I have not been able to use the pump because again my set up is gravity down. Oh, why didn't you buy the 3 wire plug amazon recommends, one might ask. I did and the plugs don't match up. Again, which is fine, I'm just gonna deal with the situation at hand. By getting a new line made for my trailer. Oh, before I forget, another question you might ask is why didn't you go with a single acting only instead of this product? It's quite simple, would you want the availability of having a power down AND gravity?! I currently am employed with a company that I see dump trailers daily and the amount of times I've seen a trailer stuck in the air because of a dead battery is obscene. So, again I say I would have preferred a triple button remote like another seller, which is slightly more, offers or just send one with this model. If the price requires to either match or just be slightly less, honestly this would be a 5 star review. I was recommend this pump because of another consumer installed one on a big truck. He loves it, however, he also spent some extra cash to install a wireless remote that again HAS A 3 BUTTON FEATURE. Yes I am petty about that switch, petty enough to return to spen more, no. Why? The answer is simple, if this is able lift the bed of my trailer. That's all I care about. I'm sure the seller has there own warranty program. The reason for my concern is simply because my gravity down trailer plug hasn't been removed since it was built in the 80's. So, if I could get away with one line, I was ecstatic. Thank you for reading all of this, I do apologize for the length. However, I do not want someone looking at this ans expecting the same thing I was. If you have a double acting set up, buy this. If not, look for the single acting. I'm sure this seller has one, I've only interacted with them once but they seem like good people
