Marathon Lift: The maintenance-free rigid chain system for various hoisting and conveyor applications

Whether deployed in industrial manufacturing processes, car lift systems, scissor lifts, dynamic stages, or goods lifts – the double-patented, maintenance-free lifting system ensures precise and smooth moving of goods and is a powerful and economical alternative to conventional hydraulic, chain, spindle, or rack-and-pinion driven hoisting solutions.

Work processes without cost-intensive downtimes are essential for highly efficient industrial manufacturing. Therefore, our rigid chain developed explicitly for the Marathon Lift is based on our proven Marathon technology for maintenance-free chains.

In addition, two patented components of our compact lifting system ensure maximum efficiency and economy in many industries and ranges of applications:

The innovative U-profile of the outer plates turns the flexible chain into a highly stable outer column during the push or pull phase. And the patented deflection system enables chain feeding from the space-saving chain box.

Together with the specifically adapted gearing of the unique sprockets, the compact lifting system allows precise and jerk-free movements without downtimes caused by cost-intensive maintenance intervals, up to more than 1 million moving cycles.

Thus the Marathon Lift ensures the reliable and economical transport of all goods such as building components, containers, cars or machines, or people. Depending on the desired application, they are perfectly matched to weight, height, and speed in the vertical or horizontal direction.

Industrial applications

In complex manufacturing and assembly processes such as in the automotive industry or the processing industry, the Marathon Lift can be used for a variety of tasks:

• Feeding of the material

• Tool change in punch presses

• Scissor lifts

• Feeding of workpieces into hardening ovens

• Cooling systems

• Positioning systems

Storage and logistics / Intralogistics  

The growing freight transport demands flexible loading and unloading systems. In addition to forwarding agencies, ports, and airports, intralogistics is another potential area of application to optimize flows of goods within closed systems. Possible fields of application for the Marathon Lift:

• Automatic transport systems

• Container handling systems

• Conveying systems

• Goods lifts

Building services engineering and architecture

In inner-city areas, space is scarce and expensive. This makes space-saving parking a vital solution, for example, in underground garages where vehicles must be moved across several floors. The Marathon Lift allows the realization of further applications:

• Vehicle lifts

• Goods lifts

• Movable facade elements

Stage and event technology

A flexible stage adaptation is part of everyday life in the event management industry. Movable elements play an essential role. The Marathon Lift helps bring everything into the correct position in concert and event halls.

• Dynamic seating elements

• Movable stage and platform elements

• Platforms for structures and technical equipment
