We did some tests with our 5lb. grabber on the end of an arm aprox. the same length as this.

One keyang motor was not able to lift it. After adding a spring, which took virtually all the load off the motor, the keyang could lift it with ease.

However, even without a load on the motor, a light tap on the end of the arm was capable of stripping the gear inside the keyang. Further investigation found that the plastic gears inside these motors have very small teeth and are easily damaged.

Just a warning...
