This wooden model is a modular one, meaning that it can be joined with other Marble Run Chain Hoists  – two or four models can be hooked up (in pairs). Special connectors (included in the package) are used for this transformation. Two Marble Run Chain Hoists are attached together frontally. Alternatively, four of them can be joined together together (both frontally and laterally), resulting in a fun system of runs and hoists.

Marble runs are captivating and fun, which is proven by millions youtube views and numerous types of these runs available! There is something mesmerizing about these tiny color balls racing each other among the intricate labyrinths, striving to reach that finish line before the others. The suspense is breathtaking and utterly exhilarating. If you happen to guess the winner, there is joy and celebration. Place your bets on the loser and a much more somber mood may prevail. However, everything begins anew with the next run, that new round of entertaining and thrilling action.

Now imagine not just witenssing the runs, but constructing them with your own hands! Ugears is happy to give you that opportunity, by presenting the ‘Marble Run Chain Hoist’, your very own race maze, the arena where raw emotions and unabated rivalry rule the day! The Marble Run Chain Hoist is a thrilling mixture of engineering and art. It is also an educaitonal tool, which DIY enthusiasts can learn a lot from!

The model features a hand crank-powered chain hoist, as well as a number of tracks, each boasting its fun and unique element or obstacle. The machine is put in motion by turning the handle clockwise. After that the wooden chain hoist picks the marbles and lifts them to the top of the device. Up there they are put on different tracks with the help of a 3-way switch. One marble is dropped down a chute featuring a loop-the-loop at the bottom. The next one ventures down several mind-boggling cascades. Three other marbles get collected in the accumulator, only to be directed along one of 3 shorter tracks. All of the marbles pass through the collector (common tray) before coming back to the chain hoist and embarking on their next journey.
