The drivetrain itself is very solid, but the brackets that come with it suck. Depending on what you want to use it for, you will need thicker braces. I used this actuator to make an ATV dump truck electric. This is a 1200 lb trailer and the drive is rated for 1300 lb. HE will pick up every part of it too, but when I dropped 300 pounds I cut off the staples it came with, I fabricated thicker ones and kept dropping 1000+ pounds of dirt around my property. It's a bit slow, taking 30-45 seconds to fully open. That means it's really good value for money, but if you're going to be using it in harsh environments, upgrade your mounting hardware.
