Scissor Lift VS Elevator Lift

[X-Factor]

@The Botfather

I think we’ll go with an elevator lift because of the tipping problem involved with scissor lifts.

If I were to build an elevator lift, that would mean only using the 18" linear slides, what would we do with the 12" ones ? And also, is it better to use the inner or the outer green delrin blocks ?

Inner green delrin blocks because from personal experience the outer ones pop off the slide in high torque applications. Just make sure to use some type of grease with the inner ones.

We tried using the outer slides on our scissor lift during toss up… The slides would pop off every couple minutes. I do not recommend using the outers.

I don’t have any actual experience with the outer bracket blocks because we only used the inserts, but according to others I would say that there are no negatives and all positives to using the inserts, and not the brackets.
