I think I'd have to disagree with you Mladen. If those were pneumatic or hydraulically driven arms or forks like on a fork lift, they'd probably be plenty strong. Anything bigger, while perhaps more aesthetically pleasing, would most likely leave the cargo to far in front of the loader. It would be much to front/top heavy to be practical. Bigger arms would be more practical if this thing were fighting the alien queen, but for moving cargo crates, they seem fine. I give it a thumbs up. Great work, Bram!

How could it lift cargo if the rollbar gets in the way? Look at them, they can't touch each other and are way too small to hold large objects. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
