It will be held from 28th to 30th May 2014Wireless Japan 2014Technologies and products related to communication are displayed at the exhibition, but you can also see products related to the surroundings. Developed in the USA "Ribbon Lift"Is a completely new structure, it is a type of crane that lifts communication antennas, lighting devices, cameras etc. to high, but its structure was interesting so I tried shooting variously.

This is the body of RibbonLift which was exhibited. On the top of the column about 50 cm lengthened, the unit of lighting is placed as an image to use.


The appearance of the column actually stretching can be confirmed with the following movie. From the circular base part, you can see how nyokinoki and columns are growing like magic tricks.

When reaching the maximum, it is possible to reach a height of about 4 meters. You can lift it with a maximum of about 22 kg of luggage. A bigger model reaching 7 meters is also available.


The secret is due to its unique structure that three plates join together into a single column.


Both ends of each plate are machined to be convex and concave so as to be closely engaged with adjacent plates and joined together.


Inside the base part, three plates are stored in three directions separated. Although it was not able to see the interior, it is structurally the same as the way the metallic measure sold at the home center etc is stored in the case.


Even though the plate is slightly curved, images stored in the same way as the major are transmitted. Since the thickness of the plate is about 1 mm, it is a place to wonder how actually it is being wound internally.


RibbonLift has its own structure, but in the birthplace of America it is also introduced in the major league baseball stadium.


New York's famous club "Marquee NYCIt seems that it is also used.


RibbonLift's excellent space saving was a product with unique mechanism that is unparalleled.
