Marathon Lift - The maintenance-free rigid chain system
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 chain-driven or hydraulic hoisting solutions.
Special sprokets with
specifically adapted gearing for
significantly reduced wear
sprokets must be precisely adapted to the driven chain and the particular applicaion. This is prerequisite to minimise wear and to increase the service life. The special sprokets for the Marathon Lift are another proof of our extensive expertise in this area: The special gearing ensures the smooth motion of the system and is therefore as genlte as possible on the drive compnents of the push-pull chain under load.
Patented deflection for smooth
and even movement
The patented deflection system allows the unique interaction between the chain feeding from the chain box feeding from the chain box without load and the push phase under heavy load. The chain is deflectrd load-free on specially shaped guide rails and is decoupled from the lifting movement. This reduces wear in the joint and between the U-bolts to a minimum. Moreover, this functional principle ensures an even motion of the chain and thus a jerk-free lifting of the loads.
Individual dimensioning of
motor and gear unit
The Marathon Lift is strictly designed for trouble-free integration into your system. Within the framework of the usual applicable standards and the technical specifications, plant manufacturers can develop individual solutions for the motor and gear unit of their system in order to adapt it to the specific requirements of their hoisting and conveyor applications. Our engineering department will be of assistance to you at any time.
Applications
THE U MAKES IT UNIQUE
The patented Marathon rigid chain has outer plates in the form of a U-profile.
During the lifting movement, the flexible chain creates a highly stable outer column which ensures
maximum vertical stability by transferring the pressure forces: a unique, strong unit.

Special chains with complex add-on elements for comprehensive transport and conveyor applications have long been part of our product portfolio. Our extensive engineering expertise in this area enabled us to achieve maximum stability and precise positioning even under the highest loads with the Marathon rigid chain thanks to the interlocking design
The support and guide rollers, which are alternately positioned outside the plates, interlock precisely with the special sprockets and thus enable a fast and smooth lifting movement even under heavy loads

Scissor lifts
Scissor lifts have become indispensable in industrial manufacturing. They ensure that extremely heavy components or entire machines can be vertically aligned in an easy, controlled and precise manner.
With an intelligently cross-linked control of several units, even dynamic processes can be flexibly controlled on different levels. The innovative rigid chain system ensures a reliable and jerk-free starting and stopping of the lift tables and the positioning at the target height with millimetre precision.
Advantages compared to hydraulic systems
One of the most essential advantages of the Marathon Lift is the compact design of the two models.
The drive systems with the space-saving chain box, motor and gearbox can be fully integrated into the scissor lift.

- Industrial applibothcations
In complex manufacturing processes such as the automotive industry, the Marathon Lift can be used,
among others, as a drive in scissor lifts.
In the processing industry, for example, the system can also be used for tool changes in large systems
- Storage and logistics / intralogistics
The growing freight transport demands flexible loading and unloading systems.
Users are, for example, truck haulage companies and airports.
In addition to transport, intralogistics is another potential area of application to optimise flows of goods within closed systems.

In addition to transport, intralogistics is another potential area of application
to optimize flows of goods within closed systems.
Here, the compact Marathon Lift is the perfect addition for the integration into driverless floor conveyors, for example.
- Building services engineering and architecture
Space is scarce and expensive in inner city areas. This makes innovative solutions for space-saving parking
all the more important, for example in underground garages where vehicles have to be moved across several floors.
The Marathon Lift allows the implementation of appropriate systems.
- Stage and event technology
Opera today, rock concert tomorrow: For the event management industry, a flexible adaptation of the stage is part of everyday life.
Movable elements play an important part. The Marathon Lift can place the largest grand piano in the spot light
or can facilitate the realization of dynamic seat and platform systems in multifunctional halls as a cross-linked system.
The special sprockets which were explicitly designed for the rigid chain deployed in the Marathon Lift get the system moving.
The special gearing interlocks perfectly with the rigid chain thus minimising wear of the loaded components.
A patented deflection ensures smooth and even movement.
Functional Advantages
- 01 Decoupling Control, Flexible Movement
- Based on unique patented technology, the position and posture og AGV are decoupled from each other, making the movement more flexible.

- 03 Integrated Lifting, Functional Expansion
- Can be integrated with link chain lift, with high positioning accuracy and flexible layout.
- 04 Various Models, Compact Size
- Various equipment models, loads from 500kg to 10T. Self-developed eccentric steering wheel structure, the lowest height of the vehicle is only 200mm.
- 05 Ground Positioning, No Fear of Obstruction
- The self-developed ground feature positioning method is used in combination with a high-speed industrial camera to realize equipment positioning and navigation. At the same time, it can also match laser radar, RTK, magnetic stripe and other positioning method according to the usage scenario.
