Abstract
A system and method for automatically and remotely adjusting the position of a captive beam is provided. The system includes a motor that moves a bracket along a vertical track, with the bracket supporting an end of the captive beam. The bracket rotatably supports a latch that engages an aperture in a track when aligned therewith to allow track to support the load of the captive beam and the load supported by the captive beam. 20 24 26 67 27 20 N ov 2 02 4 A B S T R A C T 2 0 2 4 2 6 6 7 2 7 2 0 N o v 2 0 2 4
