Yep that video was really just to illustrate the concept. If we went further with it we'd probably flip those 90 degrees, change the carriage geometry so that the load would be better handled. Plus that would let you nest a pneumatic cylinder vertically which would work out well with an elevator lift. Odds are we may not go down this path but maybe someone else will now.
