Re: Hanging Mechanisms

we prototyped a lifting mechanism that is two 36' alluminum tubes bolted together like a scissor lift, with another set 13' away to make a sort of hinged arm, two hooks are attached to the pipes at the end of the secong tube, spring loaded with surgical tubing it lifts it self up and hooks the bar, we then use a winch attached to the top to pull ourselves up.
