Need a realistic Statics Problem

[KenWittlief]

our team discovered this a few years back. In the drawing, the red arms pivot at all four points on the black frame

the L shaped platform is moved up and down by the torque on the arms.

Now heres the weird part - moving the load (blue box) left and right has no effect on the amount of torque required to raise the arms

as if leverage no longer exists.
