Why not, indeed. I've thought of a similar project, using a spare 120VAC power pack I have. I think it's good for about 12 tons, which should be adequate. The part I haven't figured out is the controls, because they're quite expensive to buy new. I'd either need some strong springs to retract the cylinder, or a dual-action valve.
