Re: Year of the C claw

I guess our claw is in some ways very much a C claw, but in use it is different. It is attached to a short arm which is attached to our lift/elevator/ladder. However, the bottom part of the claw is an extension of the arm, and the top "jaw" is what really moves in a unique claw motion. Furthermore, the arm is shaped so that when it is in the lowest position, the lower jaw is perpendicular to the floor and it "bulldozes" the tubes. The upper jaw swings down and clamps from the inside of the tube. When we lift our arm vertically, the tube is already in a vertical hanging position.

Thanks for the poll, it's a great idea!
