Vertically suspended / "zig-zag" solutions

The modular design of energy chains facilitates this space-saving and unconventional solution. For modern platform technology, such as theatre stages, a variety of cables and hoses which adjust the stage height must be accommodated. Stroke heights of up to 40m are possible.

This is how the zig-zag system works: The unextended energy chain is placed in a custom-made basket. If the platform is raised, the energy chain unfolds, generating little or no noise. This construction is possible with the e-chains® of the E4.1 system as well as many other types.
