I still think I'd like to use a figreli / actuonix actuator for the main lift ram.

Bed is 5.20"w by 7"L by 2.5"h. Hinge is 1.5" fwd of the gate, ram attach 2.25" fwd of gate. Original 'hydraulic' ram is an oil damped spring 100mm open, 80 closed, 20mm travel. (Eww, metric) I'm open to suggestions of better ways to do it.

L12- 30mm ranges mount hole lengths from 82 to 112mm

So i'm thinking i need an L12r-30-210, or L12r-30-100. I think the 210 ratio slow speed would fit this look better?

Or there was talk of an L16-30 becoming available and only 14mm longer than the L12-30-.
