Thrifty Elevator Stage Kit

02/12/25 Thrifty Elevator Kit Update:

Thrifty Elevator Kits - Individual elevator kits are all in stock now except for the sliding bearing block kit. Once we receive more sliding kits, we will put full elevator kits back in stock. Current timeline is looking like around 02/19 for us to receive those plates, but we are waiting until they arrive and will not be doing another pre-order round.

Thrifty Elevator is designed to work with the various brands of 2 in. x 1 in. aluminum box extrusion of any wall thickness on the market. Your team can work with what they like – REV MAXTube, VEX VersaFrame, or simply plain 2" x 1" from your aluminum metal supplier of choice. You bring the 2" x 1" tubing, hex shaft, structural fasteners and gearboxes and we’ll provide the rest.

Features include:

• Single piece aluminum bearing blocks made from 1/4" thick aluminum. These allow for 1/2 inch horizontal spacing between stages and no vertical travel lost due to bearing block geometry.
• Solid steel chain attachment stud block allows for easy installation of 25H chain.
• Integrated support for constant force springs that help offset the weight of your sliding stages.
• Easy CAM tensioning system allows for quick dyneema cable tensioning as needed.
• 2.5mm thick elevator gussets sized for #10 hardware
