A solution for media elevators previously unavailable in the market has now been realised with igus® E-Chain Systems®. Until now, no supplier has been able to offer an elevator with minimum own weight to move heavy lifting loads of up to 50 kg over several metres of lifting height. The E-Chain® deployed here also protects the cables against damage and the viewer against the sight of loose cables. The use of plastic for the chain and aluminium for the frame provide the minimum own weight of the media elevator.
