Pneumatic recovery jack?
Devil makes work and all that!
I have been contemplating why you don't see air operated long travel jacks? Most overlanders/4 wheelers have compressors and I know that Bowler for example use a air driven recovery flap thing, so I have been wondering about the feasibility of using a compressor and a pneumatic cylinder as a hi-lift substitute. I always wanted to use a truck type cabin jack, but maybe air would also work? What are the thoughts on this anyone. Not talking about airbag type things which are readily available obviously.
It also came to mind more when I ripped off and pretty much destroyed my hi-lift while being a bit enthusiastic with a steep bank.
