Primary Mover Twin Engine 24VDC Hydraulic Power Unit
Serious Flow. Real Pressure. Faster Dump Cycles.
Most electric power units claim 3200 PSI — but as pressure rises, flow drops off hard. The result is slow, frustrating dump cycles that waste time and kill productivity.
The Primary Mover Twin Engine Power Unit was engineered to solve that problem.
Featuring dual 2.2 kW (3 HP) motors and operating on 24VDC, this power unit delivers over 4 GPM depending on pressure while still maintaining usable flow at 3200 PSI. The result is a dramatic improvement in dump speed, often cutting dump time nearly in half compared to traditional single-motor 12VDC power units.
Where This Power Unit Really Shines
Dual-Acting 600 Series Scissor Hoists
The 600 series scissor hoists offer tremendous lifting power, but in dual-acting configurations, that added capacity often comes at the cost of slow dump speeds when paired with standard electric power units.
With a 6.5-inch cylinder, you’re moving significantly more fluid, often at higher pressures. That combination can make dump cycles painfully slow.
The Twin Engine 24VDC power unit was designed to restore balance by:
- Maintaining higher flow under load
- Holding speed as pressure increases
- Significantly reducing total dump cycle time
This makes it an excellent upgrade for customers running dual-acting 600 series hoists who want power and speed.
Why This Twin Engine Power Unit Stands Apart
- Dual 2.2 kW / 3 HP Motors – Real output, not inflated ratings
- 24VDC Configuration – Lower amp draw and improved efficiency
- Over 4 GPM Under Load – Flow where it actually matters
- True 3200 PSI Capability – Maintains usable flow at pressure
- Faster Dump Cycles – Especially in heavy dual-acting systems
- 15-Quart Reservoir – Supports high-volume hydraulic demands

Frequently Asked Questions
(Click to expand)
Does a 24VDC power unit dump faster than a 12VDC unit?
Not necessarily. In most cases, 12VDC and 24VDC power units dump at similar speeds.
The benefit of 24VDC is reduced amp draw and less heat, allowing the system to operate more efficiently and for longer periods without overheating components.
This unit requires two batteries regardless. Wiring them in series for 24VDC cuts amp draw nearly in half and is easier on electrical components.
Can this power unit reduce dump time on a dual-acting 600 series hoist?
Absolutely. This power unit was designed specifically for high-demand applications like dual-acting 600 series scissor hoists.
With a 6.5-inch cylinder, a large volume of fluid must be moved at higher pressures. This unit maintains flow where standard electric power units fall off, often cutting total dump cycle time nearly in half.
Will this power unit improve speed on large single-acting telescopic cylinders?
No. This unit is designed for dual-acting applications.
Most telescopic cylinders are single-acting. For those applications, we recommend our Single-Acting Twin Engine Power Unit, which is built specifically for that setup.
Why choose 24VDC instead of 12VDC for a twin engine power unit?
While this unit can be built in 12VDC, the amp draw is extremely high. Two large batteries are required either way.
Running 24VDC cuts the amp draw nearly in half, reduces heat, and improves overall system reliability.
Will this power unit work in my application?
If your application requires high flow, high pressure (up to 3200 PSI), and large fluid transfer, this power unit will perform exceptionally well.
What makes this different from other “3200 PSI” power units?
Many power units advertise 3200 PSI but have little to no flow at that pressure. This unit is designed to maintain usable flow under load, which directly translates to faster dump cycles and real-world performance.
