Convert manual hydraulic cylinder to electric

Hello,
First off, thank you in advance for any info that you can supply. As you're about to find out, I have no real knowledge about hydraulic cylinders. I purchased a cheap 1 ton manual pump hydraulic fork lift stacker. I am wondering if I can convert the cylinder that came on the unit to accept a 12 volt electric hydraulic pump. The base of the manual cylinder has what appear to be several ports that are plugged off, can anyone tell me if I can utilize these ports for external pump connections. Trying to insert a couple links. Any info would be appreciated.
