Its hard to connect my fittings after the lift has been sitting in the trailer. What's going on?

If you’re a dirt track racer or mechanic, you’ve probably faced this frustrating issue: after your lift has been sitting in the trailer, connecting or disconnecting the fittings feels like a battle. The quick-connect or screw-to-connect fittings just won’t budge, and you’re left wrestling with the hydraulic system or resorting to messy workarounds like cracking the lines. So, what’s going on? The culprit is hydraulic pressure build-up, and we’ve got the perfect solution to make your life easier: the DirtCarLift Pressure Relief Hose.
Why Is This Happening?
When your lift is stored in a trailer, it’s exposed to fluctuating temperatures—hot days, cool nights, or even drastic swings during transport. These temperature changes cause the hydraulic fluid in your lift’s system to expand and contract, creating excess pressure. That pressure builds up in the hydraulic lines, locking your fittings in place and making them nearly impossible to connect or disconnect without forcing them or cracking the lines, which is both time-consuming and messy.
This is a common headache for racers and mechanics who rely on their DirtCarLift for quick, efficient setups at the track. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The DirtCarLift Pressure Relief Hose is designed to eliminate this issue, ensuring your lift is always ready to perform when you are.

How It Works
The Pressure Relief Hose is a game-changer for your hydraulic system. It allows pressure to circulate freely within the system, preventing the build-up that makes fittings so hard to manage.
