www.northerntool.com is a place where you can find affordable hydraulic equipment and supplies. There is info in their catalog on designing projects also.
A second thought on the subject, air cylinders also will lift a lot of weight if hydraulic costs too much. There is in the motorcycle industry, air lifts that lift fulll sized dresser type bikes - 600 pounds or more, some with a cylinder buried underground and others with a sicssors type action.
