Wippermann at BTT 2026: New Marathon Lift ML500 for compact stage lifting systems
The Bühnentechnische Tagung 2026 will take place on June 17–18, 2026 and is regarded as an important meeting point for professionals in theatre, event and stage technology. Manufacturers, planners and operators gather to learn about the latest technologies for stage and lifting systems.
At BTT, Wippermann will present the latest and particularly compact version of the innovative Marathon Lift lifting system.
The focus will be on the compact Marathon Lift ML500 lifting system, specifically developed for applications where low installation height and reliable, maintenance-free lifting technology are critical.
New lifting system with exceptionally low installation height
The Marathon Lift ML500 expands the Marathon Lift series portfolio with a compact solution for applications with significant space constraints.
The system enables the lifting of loads of up to 500 kg and is characterized by an extremely low installation height of only 170 mm.
Especially in stage and event technology, where space is often limited and flexible installation solutions are required, this compact design offers a decisive advantage.
Initial feedback from the market already shows strong interest in the ML500 – particularly due to the impressive performance data achieved despite its minimal installation height. This opens up new possibilities for use in stage podiums, lifting platforms, and other scenic applications.
Learn more about individual application possibilities
Visitors to the Bühnentechnische Tagung will have the opportunity to learn more about the new system on site and discuss potential applications with the experts from Wippermann.
Visit Wippermann at BTT, booth C13, and experience the new Marathon Lift ML500 live at the exhibition.
The Wippermann team looks forward to personal discussions with professionals from the stage and event technology industry.
