Pantographs
HiGlide Pantographs are the part of HiGlide that fix to the carriages that glide on the rails. They are essentially the part of HiGlide that your equipment will physically be attached to. They are the component that moves on the vertical and rotational axis.
All HiGlide pantographs are similar in design, only different in extension length and weight bearing ability.

Springs
The type of spring you will need to combine with the LiteLift Pantograph will depend on the weight of the equipment you are attaching to it.
​

​
Example: If the equipment you are attavching tothe LiteLift Pantograph weighs 15.4kg, you will need to use two 'Type4@ springs (9.0kg-10.0kg) and two 'Type 2' Springs (5.4kg - 7.3kg)
