G'day all,
Don't have a pic of this unit, but an old auto engineer mate of mine built himself a jackscrew type scissor lift motorcycle workstand many years ago.

He set up reversible electric/hydraulic drive to the jackscrew, for power up/down. Just powered the hydraulic pump with a small 240V motor - but not a reversible one, though those are available.

Instead, it was hydraulic reversible, using a couple of Army Disposals items he'd picked up for cheap. They were the turret rotation motor and control out of a Sherman tank!


Cheers,
Gadge
