Car Lifts

Similar to elevator lifts, these use some sort of car on a track to lift balls, either holding the ball on the way up or pushing it along a track.


Rollerball Lift


This lift is made of a roller coaster car and track, and the car has a bucket that holds the ball. The ball falls in the bucket and is lifted up the chain lift on the lift hill. The original version uses a Screamin’ Serpent car and track, and there is also a version by mathsboy314 which uses micro coaster track. With the micro version, the car pushes the balls up the track rather than carrying the balls.


Car Back-roll Lift


This is similar to a rollerball lift, except it uses original roller coaster-style track and car, and the track isn’t a continuous loop. Instead, the car falls back down the lift hill after the ball exits at the top. The car rolls through a half-pipe and back to the beginning. It’s held in by a one-way gate that gets lowered when it rolls backwards.


Rollercoaster Ring Lift


This lift uses custom cars to fit onto rollercoaster track, and the track is shaped like a ring. Chain that goes along the track lifts the two carts, with the balls going into them like the rollerball lift. Since it’s shaped like a ring you can have elements/tracks in the center, so it doesn’t take up as much room.


Car Lift


Balls are carried by cars, which go around a continuous track, and part of it slopes up so the cars can get to the top. The ball gets out of the car by the cart it’s in being tipped over. The cars are able to go back down much faster. The original version by Keggore no longer has a video, but KneXtreme remade it for the ball machine Lithium, including instructions.
