it is motor driven, each lift (there is another on the other side) uses one standard CIM with the banebots tranny and a type of wench. I think it lifts about 18in, but we are not going that high due to sensor placement, but i think we get about 15in 3.5 seconds. We are working on some stable outriggers but it is not looking like a big issue.
