Guys- I have a spot across the road where I could have maybe 4 or 500 taps that would come to the road but Id have to lift them about 15'. Can I do it with multiple ladders or is that pushing the envelope? Theron

Leader sells a 20' sap ladder system, so if they can do it so can you.

I lift 250 taps 22' with a two ladder system. Each ladder has two six way stars and a 3/4" lift tube. This works well for this meny taps, but I don't think it would work with more taps. You would have to use more stars.

I have 500+ taps on 3 6 way stars. Works great and I have 19" of vacuum not the 22" or more you're pulling.
I was lifting the sap 22' with 19" at the releaser, and 15" at the bottom of the ladders. I was using a dary pump last year, this year will be the year of the liquid ring, I hope to have 25" at the releaser and 22" at the bottom of the ladder. I do not know the cfm of the dary pump. does any one know what a Massport M5 is rated for? It will be interesting to compare 30-35 cfm liquid ring @ 25" vs the oil vein ??cfm @ 19".
