Re: Lift on cart
Team #388 uses a lift cart from HarborFreight that has been modified with a new suspensiopn and wheels, this provides us with 660lb lift capacity up to around 40" or so.. waay more than we need. The advantage of this is the hydrolics are all preengineered and reliable, we can carry pretty much anything we want on our cart includeing our crate 2 years ago, and its very controllable with an handwheel that opens the lowering valve and it will up to a maximum speed which is very safe. I dont have any pics of our cart at the moment but will post some if I can rember also check out the cart pics on this site, many good ideas. Also I think the HOT team (cant rember the number) uses an linear screw actuator system with a sissor lift however I think the weight limit is very low
