Cable/winch vs. chain for telescopic arm
Hey guys,

In 2005 we had a telescoping arm which was extended by jackscrews. It was SLOW and loud. We do not have a lot of experience with telescopic arms. Does anyone have any experience with succesful extension of the arm? We are leaning towards the cable/winch as a more compact/lightweight solution but we would like to hear from others.

Thanks,

Vova
