Lol, I'm not sure I've seen other lift mechanisms that are motor powered. I know two are pneumatically powered and most are ramps. It goes up 16" in about 5-8 seconds. Watching it lift is a thrill:

This was at the Elimination Matches at SoCal. We're lifting 599 and 968 in the last few seconds. Just seeing it rise is amazing.
