Lift Systems
Drive Train
Core technology, nothing else. The Drive Train package supplies the lifting mechanism as a standalone system — the rigid chain actuator, the integrated drive and the housing assembly, built to standard catalogue specification.
It exists for teams who want the technology without the opinions. If you are designing the machine, you already know what the structure should be; what you need is a lifting element that will hold position under an eccentric load, store flat, and keep doing it for a million cycles.

Maximum design freedom with access to proven lifting technology. For organisations with strong engineering capability that want complete control over integration and design, this is the package that gets out of the way — you take the component and build what you intended to build.
It is also the natural entry point for a long relationship. A great many customers begin with a Drive Train on one machine and move up the ladder on later projects as the applications get more complex
The most common addition
Training. Counter-intuitively, Drive Train customers often have the strongest case for a Training Package: your engineers are integrating a technology they may not have worked with before, and the failure modes of rigid chain differ from those of the hydraulic or screw systems they will be used to. Training at design stage prevents integration decisions that are expensive to reverse.
Frequently asked questions
The rigid chain actuator, the integrated drive system and the housing assembly, supplied to standard catalogue specification. Structure, car, safety systems, controls and installation remain with you.
Because you are placing the completed machine on the market, responsibility for the compliance and marking of that machine sits with you. SERAPID supplies the drive train as a component and provides the documentation you need to support your own assessment.
The Drive Train package is catalogue specification by definition. Where the application needs something outside the standard range, that is an engineered solution — talk to us about the Elevation Package or a bespoke arrangement.
Yes. Engineering support is available at every scope level, and a Training Package can be attached to bring your engineers up to speed on integrating the technology.
Yes, and many customers do. Starting with a Drive Train and moving to an Elevation or Lift Package as applications become more complex is a common path.
Partner with SERAPID
Successful lift projects begin with clearly defined responsibilities and the right level of engineering support. Whether you need a standalone Drive Train, a complete Lift Package, or a fully installed Turnkey Lift, SERAPID provides the expertise, technology, and flexibility required to deliver exceptional results.
Our engineering specialists work closely with architects, consultants, contractors, OEMs, and building owners to determine the optimal scope of supply before design and construction begin. By defining the right project boundary early, you can reduce risk, improve coordination, and ensure a smoother path to successful project completion.
Whatever your application, SERAPID offers a lift solution that fits your project — and a scope of supply that fits your team.
