Simple mechanism with horn shaped lifter. But all this may change.

Alex beauty is in the eye etc. but i am trying to get away from the box on wheels look even if this is easier and better. If i say too much at this stage I can only drop myself in to the muck even further.

Well Craig, we look forward to seeing your creation, especially after seeing the new improved, much cooler St. Hammer at Barnsley!:)

How could I forget about Big Nipper? lol

Thanks Tom, and Dave I still am amazed with Big Nipper how complex yet tough it is. Im a fan :)

I love it too Craig, its superbly engineered. What do they power their lift with?

i remember watching it squeezing on an old beer keg, made nice holes in it (shame it was empty :wink:)
awesome to watch.

If i remember the arm is powered by only one motor with an electric clutch at each end, one cultch runs the lift arm and the other opperates the claw.
