@SneaksMcdoogle - Here's a moderately complete actuator parts list for the rack assembly. I believe Firgelli has recently updated their product offerings a bit. But this should provide a good place to start.
Firgelli Automation parts:
Optical feedback Actuators (need optical to use the remote control to operate multiple actuators in synch) (get the stroke length and weight capacity you’ll need)
https://www.firgelliauto.com/products/optical-sensor-actuators
MB1-P Premium Mounting Bracket (to mount the actuator to the T-Slot; you'll need to pick up longer bolts to use these)
https://www.firgelliauto.com/products/mb1-p?variant=19021824838
Synchronous Control Board for Feedback Actuators (I use a four channel – four actuators)
https://www.firgelliauto.com/products/synchronous-control-board
2 Channel Remote Control System (so you can operate with a hand held remote, not a wired switch)
https://www.firgelliauto.com/products/two-channel-remote-control-system
Water Resistant LED Power Supply 12V 30A
https://www.firgelliauto.com/products/ac-to-dc-power-adaptor-12v-30a
If I could attach a Word doc I'd send the complete list of parts for the entire assembly - but it's three pages long of 80/20 parts and whatnot with hyperlinks, and I'm afraid I don't have the patience to try and convert it all to .txt format.
The main reason for this build was gain access to the reef without having two-three friends come by to lift off a canopy. The cantilever design with ceiling truss supports redistributes the weight (and stress) very well, and the lift allows me access to the reef for maintenance and such.
Cheers,
Ray
