Re: Forklift Dilemma
To prevent backdriving you are going to need some sort of brake. Our lift has a ratcheting system that is controlled by a small pneumatic.to stop it from backdriving the motors..
You could also make some sort of brake disk with a pad operated by a pneumatic.
Oh by the way, don't believe what everyone says about spectra... we use it...and it works great BUT it DOES stretch initially... so you have to pre-stretch it...after that you should be fine..
We have quite a few sailors out here that use it all the time and they have shown us how to splice it to make secure connections... you might want to learn that...or figure out some good knots...
