All of it was donated to us by Oliver Products (Our mentor works there). we also found it to be strong enough that we don't need much to make a strong lift and with the thin wall we are using it would weigh less than the equivalent of using aluminum. We are doing a scissors lift so we are using round tubes. I'll get the specs on the tubes tomorrow (Diameter and Wall)
