Re: Drivetrain Question

One could make a latch system that works like a automotive jack stand.

As you extend the piston to lift the cart it would ratchet it's way down and then prevent reverse movement without manual intervention. In fact they make small cheap automotive jack stands one could probably tweak for this purpose.
