Re: Forklift

We didn't exactly use a forklift last year but we did use a similar system. Igus's DryLin system is great for linear motion. We went to Igus's site and ordered the beefier version of the stuff in the kit. We loved its performance and gave exactly what our designed called for. To actuate our "shuttle" we used a winch mounted low pulling in both directions.
