This is the first Skytrac to get a bottom tension terminal and first skytrac Monarch fixed drive terminal. though the top looks similar it lacks rams to move and utilizes shorter runway beams, though there is still 4ft of passive travel which can be utilize with some rigging required to move the carriage.
