Re: Hanging w/ pneumatics

we kicked the idea arround at the start of the season but have decided to go a different route.... what we were thinking was to make and arm where the pneumatic was integrated as a section of the arm...the arm would be hindged and when the cylinder is open the arm reaches over 10 ft and when it closes we hang.


another way that 1405 was thinking about but changed it was using a cabel through the center of the arm and that cabel is attched to the cylinder so it pulls the arm up and hooks on....


i'm not sure if that was clear but it is what we were thinking about
