UGEARS Marble Run Chain Hoist, Model Kit, 3D Puzzle

The Marble Run Chain Hoist (UGEARS model UGR70156) is a kinetic wooden puzzle / toy. After assembly, you crank a handle to lift marbles up via a chain hoist, then release them into a system of tracks, loops, chutes and switches. It’s both decorative and fun — a combination of engineering, marble-run physics, and mechanical motion.

• The Marble Run Chain Hoist features a hand-crank-powered chain hoist that lifts marbles to the top of the structure. From there, marbles navigate through various tracks, including a loop-the-loop, cascades, and a 3-way switch that distributes them onto different paths. This dynamic movement provides an interactive and entertaining experience.
• This model is designed to be modular, allowing you to connect it with other UGEARS Marble Run models. Using the included special connectors, you can combine up to four models to create a larger, more complex marble run system, enhancing the fun and challenge.
• Assembling the Marble Run Chain Hoist offers insights into mechanical principles such as gear systems, gravity, and kinetic energy. The process encourages problem-solving and critical thinking, making it an excellent educational tool for learners aged 14 and above.
• Crafted from high-quality, eco-friendly plywood, the model is laser-cut for precision. The kit includes all necessary components, such as 10 marbles, wax, and sandpaper, and requires no glue or special tools for assembly, ensuring a clean and enjoyable building process.
• Once assembled, the Marble Run Chain Hoist serves as a captivating kinetic sculpture. Its intricate design and dynamic movement make it an eye-catching addition to any home or office décor, sparking curiosity and conversation.
