Good video. Learning point for the slack in the chain for the basket is to chase the gold series strut with air and bump your pressure up beyond the typical chasing pressure and it will take the slack out of the chain.

at 9:21 there is a nice bow in that chain. Is there a link that is caught on something in the wheel well?

+hookandcanman83 Good eye. We actually had to do a little cinematic presentation for this video. The footage could only be captured one side at a time so it looks like a two sided lift and capture but it wasn't. The load was actually lifted one side at a time and was resulting in somewhat of a dead leg on the capturing side. Without extending both capturing struts simultaneously on both sides the chain was "sticking: more or less. That would be a critical point in the field to watch to make sure you kept the chain as taught as possible. Thanks for weighing in. We love the input and interaction.
