    Hi guys,

    i have a firebrand wheel house that came with electric jacks (three in total) . Each jack has a up/down toggle switch to
    raise and lower each jack independently. Has anyone modified these to run off of a single master switch where you could run all three jacks at the same time. If so are you using multiple batteries/power supplies to make that possible? I know these pull a lot of power even just running single jack!

    any suggestions would be great.

    Not sure this would be a good idea. Most likely each jack will have a slightly different actual speed. If there is no clutching mechanism you may be overheating one motor (with a fully extended or retracted jack) while the other(s) are still running. Just something to consider.
