Good value

The media could not be loaded.

This actuator is slower than I would like, but also much smoother than I thought it would be.

It is able to make small adjustments and the limit switches work perfectly. So far so good, I will update when my box scraper shows up and I start using it

Not worth your money

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2026

Size: 6"Verified Purchase

I previously purchased one of the lower capacity ones and it lasted about 3 months. I bought this one because it was about double the capacity of the last one and it broke within 15 mins. Not sure of the capacity limits but the listed capacity is definitely a pushing capacity and not a pulling capacity. Both failed in the exact same way. Good luck everyone else.

boat motor tilt works

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024

Size: 6"Verified Purchase

I bought a pair of these after watching a video on You Tube. A guy fabricated an upper and lower bracket to bolt onto his 48HP Johnson motor to add a power tilt. I have some skills and a welder, so decided to give it a try. After designing the brackets, cutting the metal and welding, I bolted them onto my 1988 Johnson 50 HP outboard. The linear actuators (6 inch stroke size) worked great and easily lifted/tilted the motor up and down. I mounted the motors on the actuators as high as possible to avoid full submersion into the water. I have not tested them out yet on the water, but expect it will work great.

Powerful enough to compact my trash!

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2024

Size: 12"Verified Purchase

I bought this to replace the failing motor for my trash compactor. The original was a 900n and this new one is 3000n. I can attest to its strength and power as it easily pressed my overflowing garbage can down at least 10”!

In my area, the trash company will charge extra when the can is full to the point the lid doesn’t close all the way. The charges range from $20-$45 every two weeks. Ouch! This is typical when the kids come home from school breaks and our garbage can cannot accommodate the extra trash.

Having this compactor saves me from having to get into the can from a ladder to jump up and down. One time while doing this, the can balance went sideways and I ended up falling down which really hurt.

I am very pleased with the action of this unit and the cost. It will pay for itself in a months time.
