(54) Material positioning lift


(57) Described is a positioning lift (30), adapted as mounting aid, for example for mounting awnings, comprising:
a post (31);
an object carrier (40) which is displaceable along the post (31);
displacement coupling means (44) for coupling the object carrier (40) with the post (31) and for performing a displacement of the object carrier relative to the post;
a motor (45) for driving the displacement coupling means (44), which motor (45) can be controlled at variable speed;
control means (50) for remotely controlling the motor (45). The object carrier (40) has a platform (41) located above the displacement coupling means (44), which platform (41) may be displaceable relative to an object carrier frame (44).
In a system (100) comprising multiple positioning lifts, the different motors may be controlled by common control means (150) with mutually equal or just somewhat different speeds. The displacement coupling means (820) comprise a flexible push chain (820) guided in a tubular guide (830).
