Re: Forklift Materials

Aluminum C-channel, I think around 1.5" wide x 1" deep with 1/8" thickness. (Might be 1"x1", same thickness.) Fasten the top and bottom of each stage together with plate. It's strong enough to take the full weight of a robot on a three-stage lift--and cable-run, in my experience. Even with holes in the C-channel on the wide side, never had a serious material problem.
