Re: Will portcullis rack if lifted from one side?

At Kickoff in Manchester I lifted it from one side only and it rose smoothly without any hint of binding.
With the caveat that being the Kickoff field it had not been through any competitions yet.
The construction looked pretty solidly stable though.
