Designing a lifting mechanism
Designing a lifting mechanism
(OP)
Hey guys I need to develop a lifting mechanism for a platform that holds approximately 75lbs. I have pictured attached. The platform needs to have a travel range of 1 inch. I have looked into scissor lifts but can't find anything suitable.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Not the neatest and most elegant, but almost always the cheapest four point lift mechanism is four inverted U's of roller chain, looped over sprockets at the ends of long shafts, synchronized by a long loop of roller chain and two more sprockets. Hang bars or weights from the free ends of the vertical chains to keep them from fouling something. Ugly but effective, and all the components are generic and cheap. Seems overkill for such a short lift, but take the trouble to cost it out anyway.

The first ones were sections of fire hose.
Here are a links to a couple of sites to show what's available.
