Marathon Lift - The maintenance-free rigid chain system from Wippermann

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.

Is there any chance of the chain to collapse if hit on the same side that it bends? What's preventing it to bend accidentally if hit?

[@thiagomacedo-cedoma]

I believe that to avoid this problem you need to apply a system of guides

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

There is a hydraulic cylinder used to hold the weight if the motor brake fails or the lift start free falling.
