Drive slug pushes a flexible spring along the track and up the lift post An elongated slotted steel drive slug sits inside the horizontal spring track. A cable runs around the track pulley to the slug. The long coiled push spring continues from the slug, around the curved corner guide, and upward into the tall telescoping lift post.
