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.

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
