Re: Hanging Mechanism Material
Even 330's 2004 hanging device wasn't 15 lbs... Maybe it was if you included the arm on top, and the upper stage of the lift! And that hook was solid Al, with a van door motor, a 1:1 gearbox, and a metal roller included... It was overkill, but it worked.
You're sounding like extreme overkill. Start with a lighter hook.
