ok, it seems pretty simple to invert a regular hydraulic jack (rearrange the fluid pickup, external reservoir etc.).
BUT with an air-over is it just an additional step of inverting the air cylinder using a few 90-degree hydraulic elbows, or will I run into problems? Looking at pics remotely (don't have one here yet...) it looks like there's only a hydraulic union between the cylinder and the base of the jack. e.g. 06184 Heavy Duty Air Hydraulic Jack 20 Ton Bottle Jack Pneumatic Lift Ram Car Va | eBay
End use will be mounting it on a trolley between the top cross-members of an H-frame press I'm planning to build for the Shed of Danger as I want to avoid the HF-style wobbly intermediate platform with the jack base sat on it and tooling mount welded out of square underneath, tooling can screw into the end of the jack's ram.
Thanks,
