Yep, that's basically the GenieLift system we have, though maybe has a bit longer base. Having a load platform is really nice, and the only problem we have is having the crank on the other side from the platform. With a little bit of finagling, one person can actually get a system in and out of rails by raising (to remove) or lowering (to install) the platform and moving the system a bit by hand. With the platform in place, even if the system falls, it won't fall more than a 1/4" or so. -- Skylar _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
