Forklift Rack and Pinion

Hi, my team is looking at a forklift design to raise the inner-tubes from the ground to the highest shelf. What kind of thoughts do you have about an aluminum pole with a rack on the back, and a Fisher Price motor connected to a gear traveling up, with that assembly connected to a forklift inserted into the opposite side of a pole and movable up/down. Sorry if this is a little complicated to understand, I'll try and crudely ASCII it: =|}xO, where = is the forklift, | the pole, } the rack, x the gear, and O the motor. Thanks!
