From opening ceremonies to arenas, SERAPID systems push, pull and lift heavy loads in a wide range of applications.

SERAPID is widely recognized for stage and orchestra lifts, but our contributions to live entertainment extend far beyond that. Rigid Chain Technology (RCT) allows creative stage designs and dynamic set movements in theaters, arenas, and other performance venues.

RCT offers heavy lifting and precise positioning, making it ideal for moving props and creating immersive experiences. From the Olympic games to world-class concert tours, SERAPID caters to the demands of modern, high-energy live shows.

Guest experiences are the single most important indicator of a successful cruise, and SERAPID has worked with top companies in the industry to create unique and memorable features at sea.

Unlike traditional systems that require constant compression or tension, Rigid Chain Technology operates with an electro-mechanical push/pull chain mechanism, eliminating the need for continuous force to maintain stability. This makes it highly adaptable to the varying gravitational forces encountered at sea.

SERAPID’s compact system design and smooth, quiet movement make it ideal for stage lifts, seating reconfigurations, and elevators on cruise ships, such as the unique “Rising Tide Bar” pictured here.

With our Rigid Chain Technology, cruise ships can deliver world-class entertainment and reconfigurable experiences in even the most challenging environments, combining efficiency and versatility with the demands of onboard live shows and guest hospitality.
