evidently you can reach at least 10 foot, have you ever fallen over?

Our final weight is right on target. The tower secitons are cut from .100 thick aluminum sheet and weigh about 10.5 lb each. The arm is another 16 pounds. The tower is raised by one CIM/Dewalt combo using cascading style cables, and the arm is operated by a globe motor with a rack and pinion arrangement. The tower raises to full height (13 feet to the top of the arm) in 4-5 seconds.
