have suitability of screws &amp; rollers been upgraded for Rad rail mount hoist ?

I have installed both the older version of the hoist, and the new rail version. I did not have the problem with the screws or rollers of the older version that some reviewers mentioned (perhaps they had even older models). With that being said, the new rail mount hoist is superior to the older model. I had no problem installing. Rollers, ropes and hooks are a bit heavier duty. The rail is better because you don't have to install 2x4's.

I have only used Kreg screws, but I was able to buy them at Lowes for a reasonable price. This R3 system comes with a starter set of screws as well.

It comes with screws. The new rail used different length screws that were included and fit my buchmark perfectly. I installed them with locktite to ensure that they don't come loose.

We made the new unit stronger than the previous version, we also came up with a metal version for photographers that needed mount for frequent use. Let me know if this answers your question??

there are other screws that you can use. I've seen torx head screws, but the important thing is that they have a flat bottom. Woodcraft and Rockler may have what your looking for.

The four point connections fit within the rail itself. It took a minor adjustment on the rear ones, but works fine now. No trimming, cutting, drilling, etc.

No, the entire piece is welded together as one unit for strength, and individual components such as the mounting plates cannot be moved. In any case, rotating the plates to reposition the holes horizontally would make the rail difficult or impossible to mount, because the cross-bar would then block access (for a drill) to the "inner" holes.

I can't speak for everyone, but mine did indeed come with a full set of screws for securing gear to the rack. If you find you do need to get crews, they are a common size and threading, so while it may be an inconvenience, it is not insurmountable.

Not sure haven't had mine long enough, you can use ordinary screws, same gauge, right length just make sure that it's a pan or wafer head, seems to work ok. It's really hard when you have no access to kreg ones. Besides the damn things are 40 to 50 dollars compared to 20 something in the USA.( which you can't access from here (Australia). I did invest in some when I had the opportunity but have used ordinary screws when I didn't have the right length that I needed. Hope this helps.

Mount it to anything if you have the ability to establish a rail. A competent gunsmith with a lathe might be able to help. Good luck!

The finish on top and bottom rails are flush. In theory, you can pre-drill holes and use threaded bolts and nuts to connect one on top of the other, but that won't give you the lateral rigidity as a single unit.

Use loctite, OR there's this kewl new invention called the internet where you can find just about anything including replacement pivot screws in whatever size you need. ;)

There is an integral mount for a picatinny rail that uses either a hex head set screw or an included knurled knob screw for easier attachment and removal.

I'm not sure if this will help, but here goes. If you put the rollers and the track in as per the instructions they will have about 1/16" bottom clearance. If you look at the mounting tab on the rollers and the rail, they will fit on the horizontal cross member of the cabinet face. That will give you the top clearance. If you are replacing old ones put them in the same position. If you are putting them into a new cabinet you can go on line and look up the install instructions. That is the best I can tell you. Hope it helps.

Similar? yes, Interchangeable? I'd say no, mounting screws in different places
