other than hydraulic lift system

Anyone own or seen a HiLo with a lift system other than hydraulic?

Found a drawing in the 1981 brochure showing a "Mechanical ball screw" assembly for the Funlite.

Not having seen a HiLo till I bought mine recently I assumed that all bunk frames were welded up of 1" square steel tubing. Did some HiLo's have a different kind of bunk construction ?
