This is as you can see sliding gate rail & cars, the dual cars are for the winch & the singles will be for the power & vacuum hose/cable. The rails are 16 gauge & I welded them at the seams then welded the rail(30ft ) to brackets I fabbed.It goes over the table to the end by the window where I will store sheet goods. Its all rated for 450 lbs I tested it with a lunchbox planer, me & a winch and it held just fine & works great. Before you ask, thats the underside of plenum on the table& yes I cut the glue grid a little deep, Oh! and it slipped, Oh! and then I ran the bit into a clamp. But now I have an idea what not to do:-)Thanks for looking & thanks for tips. Next step is the vacuum pump & puck system.
