Installing lifts in existing buildings can present a major challenge: limited pit depth. Traditional lift systems often require significant space below the platform, making installation difficult in buildings where excavation is restricted or impossible.

SERAPID's Rigid Chain Technology offers a different approach.

SERAPID lift systems utilize telescopic action and a compact storage magazine, allowing for a shallow pit depth, integrating seamlessly into buildings where space is at a premium.

The SERAPID Advantage:
✔️ Reduced excavation requirements
✔️ Integrate into existing & historic buildings
✔️ Compact system integration
✔️ No machine room required
✔️ Reliable, powerful and precise lifting
✔️ Compact design for space requirements

From passenger lifts to industrial platforms, SERAPID engineers innovative lift technology to tackle any architectural challenge.

In some situations, such as medical imaging equipment, non-magnetic materials are required while still delivering precision, reliability, and safe operation.

The SERAPID RigiBelt® is a non-magnetic actuator designed for applications where magnetic materials can’t be used. Its unique zipper-style design makes it well suited for medical equipment, including MRI machines, where strong magnetic fields create unique engineering challenges.

RigiBelt provides reliable push-pull motion without magnetic components. This makes it an ideal solution for sensitive environments, such as medical apparatus.

From medical imaging to other specialized equipment, SERAPID continues to develop innovative motion solutions for applications where conventional technologies may not be suitable.
