Our team is really new to building lifts do to upper class men building them in sky rise. we are wondering if you could first of all get a chain lift to self lift. we want to run 6 HT motors with a 3-1 gear ratio but is that possible. If its not possible what gear ratio would you suggest recommend. we would really like to stay with a chain lift do to our size limitations.
Since they are high torque, and 6 of them, I would recommend you to have a 3-1 gear ratio, since 6 motors would be strong enough to do that.
At the beginning of the year, our team has built a successful chain lift. It worked and worked well. Chain lifts are fairly inefficient on strength, so a 6 motor lift should do the trick obviously xD
A chain lift is very compact, and takes a lot of knowledge to build a fast and effective lift that could seriously make an impression on other teams…
