Fredt & Clive Thank you for your support. I don’t have the loading tool. There are none available in the USA’ I made some wood with steel angle pieces that are assembled forward and up to the actual rail. There is ultimately 3 points where the unit meets the rail. A bottom roller (nylon wheel) which is perpendicular to the side of the rail: a upper combination roller which follows a top groove, and the gear wnicn slips into the rail so the idea is to put the unit on the forward guiding assembly (I made) and guide it downward until all 3 points are engaged and then use the remote to move it on the rail further. I removed the upper limit which was mounted 7 inches from the end which I think Clive is referring to as the magnetic limit and the final stop at the very end. In lieu of not having the loading tool, my next big problem is where do you grab the whole unit to lift it. It sits right next to the loading spot on the stair platform. How do you normally lift the control carriage without the chair. Where do you grab it to put it on the loading kit tool, With the seat, footrest, and chair arms up where do you grab this thing without damaging any mounted stuff on the carriage. Your help very appreciated
