Becker stand upgrade.



Thank you so much; my daughter is stationed in Norfolk, VA. She's a Sailor.

This is the product I was interested:

Becker-Technik rocket 3 - Lifter d 8mm
 
The Becker for example has a serious design flaw.
Whilst it certainly is a limitation for the R3's weight. I would not call it a serious design flaw.

The solution is very simple. Instead of relying on friction to keep the two sides together, drill an appropriate hole and the two pieces then lock at the correct width. No sagging in the middle. I have been measuring - and the issue with adding the wider lowers (something Becker himself does not actively condone) Is that the effort requited to lift is seriously raised. I have a solution for this - waiting for access to my neighbour's water jet cutter.

As for the sale to the US predicament. I know exactly why they do not. I have direct experience of the insurance costs. The trick is to purchase from a RETAILER and not the MANUFACTURER.
