You don't have to use the same attachment point to lift the totes and containers and the top of your lift won't only reach 4.5ft from the floor. I said be able to elevate an object 4.5ft. That means your lift or arm has 4.5ft of displacement. How you pick up the totes and containers and where they are attached to that lift or arm is up to you. We'll have a video up shortly of our prototype arm, it can do all things I said.
