Spiralift – the future of lift technology
The story of Spiralift technology began in the early 1980s and is one of progress and innovation.When the PACO Group entered the stage machinery business, its leaders had no idea they were about to revolutionise the world of lifting technology. In 1988, they faced a challenge that would change everything: building an orchestra lift in Davis, California.
Necessity is the mother of invention
The engineers faced an obstacle that seemed insurmountable at the time: the space for the machine pit was too small, and traditional lifting mechanisms simply wouldn’t fit. But from this challenge, something groundbreaking was born.
Pierre Gagnon and Pierre Laforest, key figures at the company, gave their creativity free rein. After a weekend of brainstorming, Laforest unveiled a revolutionary solution on the Monday morning: the first rough steel-band prototype of Spiralift. This milestone not only transformed stage lift systems in the entertainment industry, but also established Spiralift technology as the new benchmark for lifting solutions.
The ingenious engineering behind Spiralift
Spiralift technology combines vertical and horizontal stainless steel bands in an ingenious design, creating a stable and robust lift column capable of handling loads safely and efficiently.At the heart of this system is a cylindrical rotor with a screw-like mechanism. As the rotor turns, it lifts the horizontal band while simultaneously layering the vertical band over it, causing both bands to interlock. The result is a reliable lift column in which the bands are precisely synchronised to deliver optimum performance.
Highly precise and stable
The screw-like mechanism stabilises and controls the movement of the column, ensuring a high level of precision and stability. This allows Spiralift technology to lift and lower loads with impressive accuracy and safety.
Highly versatile
Spiralift technology is a true feat of engineering that combines precision, stability and durability in a compact and efficient design. With its outstanding performance and versatility, it offers the ideal solution for a wide range of lifting projects across various industries.
