(...) I once built a forklift using a similar method described by Larry above. The difference was that I used a continuous chain loop. I believe that I weaved the chain through two or three pinned gears to attach it to the forks, and I didn't have (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yes, rubberbands came to mind, and though I think the rubber pulley belts may be less stretchy, I still think it may be a bit much for the load. I *will* give it a try. I'd also thought of string, but even using the official Lego winch string (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

I'm working on a forklift design and would like to use the Technic motorcycle chain (opened) to lift the forks. The only problem (at the moment) is how to attach the chain ends to the forks and the truck structure. I've looked at the instruction (...) (26 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)
