Estimated assembly time 6 hours
The Marble Run Spiral Hoist is the fourth model in the Ugears collection of fascinating wooden mechanical marble tracks. The hoist has two types of rails to speed up the ascent: main spiral rails and vertical rails. Turn the crank to raise the colored glass marbles, one marble for every nine revolutions of the crank, to the storage for three marbles at the top. From there, the marbles begin their descent through exciting elements: a high-speed slide, a vertical snake and a mountain river.
Our team of designers created the Marble Run Spiral Hoist and our three other marble runs (Chain Hoist, Stepped Hoist and Tiered Hoist) as fantastic stand-alones, but also as modular elements that can be connected together to form a super Marble Run! You can connect two or four marble runs together with special connectors (included in each set) for a giant marble amusement park, with a variety of ascending elevators and obstacles to overcome during the descent. The escapement at the end of each set can send the marbles back to the original hoist, to the adjacent marble track, or alternate between the two which you control with a special weighted switch.
