The GreyT Elevator (Cascade) is compatible with any gearbox that has 1/2" hex output and mounting holes that are inline and 1/2" to 1" pitch from the output.
Gearboxes that do not meet these requirements will need custom mounting solutions.
Extra mounting holes can be easily added through the use of 1" x 1" x 0.090" Aluminum Angle, or any other Aluminum Angle.
The WCP Single Stage Gearbox Front Plate has a 2x2 grid of tapped holes and clearance holes that can be used for mounting. In the image below, the holes marked in green are tapped and the holes marked in orange are clearance for #10-32.
