Bulldog Dual Output Motor 500359 Speed and Compatibility on Custom Application

Question:

1. Can I get the dimension of the dual output power drive ? 2. I need the rate of travel at low speed and high speed. inches per second 3. How does the gear box attach to the acme screw, do you sell the screw separately or do i need to buy the rebuild kit? Sorry for the dumb questions but im fabricating a power lift to enter and exit my truck. Im handicapped and to purchase a lift is about $5000.00 ! With your assistance Ill build one for less than $800.00. Thank you for help !!!

The Replacement Dual Output Motor for Bulldog Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear # BD500359 is 7.75 x 6.50 x 4.75 Inches. The speed of the motor is either 45 RPM or 60 RPM on high speed which on high speed will give you 9 inches of lift per minute. The compatibility is actually a difficult question as the Bulldog system has been discontinued but replaced with a similar Reese System.

The Reese Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear Set - 36" Lift - 8,000 lbs # RP500708 is the complete landing gear set that can have the motors inverted for clearances if desired. That is the only fit I know of for this motor. The screw fits specifically in this motor and the mount is also specific.
