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

I installed mine and it works great. The instructions are not that great and I needed to look at the picture on Amazon.Com to figure out how to run the cable through the locking mechanism. The screws heads are too big to allow the items in the rail mount to move, so my suggestion is to install the parts into the rail mount first, and then screw the rail mount into place. Overall, this is a fine product that does the job.

At least when I bought mine a few months back, they had not been updated. However, I just used sturdy and long wood screws with flatter heads and they worked like a charm.

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.

NO, install pulley assemblies before hanging from celling then mount to celling mounting screws are then out of the way of the rollers.

I can only assume so as I have nothing to compare it too. We are still very pleased with this system.

Rollers on the rail. I've found it to be pretty smooth and I'm right up a the weight limit for the machine.

Yes, they are hex head screws; the laser and flashlight will mount to any picatinny rail system.

The legs are welded to the rail. The feet (either flat or a roller) are interchangeable.

As I have not mounted mine, I am not sure. However, if I might speculate, I would imagine it can be done. Possibly maybe substituting the screws that the safe came with for mounting and replacing them with concrete screws of the same measurement. Then again would that comprise the efficiency of the safe?... I don't know. Although I'm no specialist, I would say yes to answer 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.

It's metal. If your rail you are mounting it on is curved instead of flat like the rail mount you may have to dremel tool the bottom surface of the mount to fit a curved rail surface, but should work well with a flat surface rail or weaver mount surface.

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.

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

I know it is compatible with weaver rail systems. Mine has performed very well .

I not using on rail so i can't answer your question. However, if you are looking for solid piece, you might want to look somewhere else.

I got 4 screw versions and they are WAY OVERKILL for whatever you're going to mount. Plus they give you a bit more flexibility when locating the rings on the scope. The quick release feature is GREAT, making removal and installation of your optics fast and easy. Scope has remained zeroed after 25-30 times of removal and re-installation. Hope this help.Dave

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. ;)

I used #8 sheetmetal screws. Rivets would work and 3M 5200 marine adhesive would be great.

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.

Those screws are to mount scope rings or other hardware on it, that isn't set up for a standard tactical mount.
