Market Problem
Heavy Machinery Still Depends on Hydraulics
Hydraulics are powerful and proven. But as machinery becomes increasingly electric, connected and automated, manufacturers are looking for new ways to create and control high force.
Beltdraulic™ was developed for applications where machine builders want hydraulic-class force alongside the advantages of electric actuation.
Product
Hydraulic-Class Force. Electrically Actuated.
RISE's patented architecture uses steel-reinforced polyurethane belts and pulleys to generate high-force linear motion without hydraulic fluid.
Normal operating efficiency
Actuation
And condition monitoring
Capability
Designed for high-force industrial applications
Commercial Proof
Technology is only valuable if customers use it.
RISE has moved beyond proving the underlying engineering and into commercialization.
Across the U.S. and Europe
In a liftgate pilot with a major food and beverage distributor
RISE earned a Guinness World Records title for the World’s Strongest Robotic Arm Prototype, designed and built by the RISE team using Beltdraulic™ technology.
Why Now
Heavy Machinery Is Entering Its Digital Era
Electrification, automation and Physical AI are changing what manufacturers expect from industrial equipment.
The opportunity isn't simply replacing one component with another. It's enabling machines to become more efficient, controllable, connected and increasingly intelligent.
RISE is building the actuation technology for that transition.
Invesment
Invest in RISE Robotics
RISE has raised $27M from institutional investors, strategic partners and more than 3,000 individual investors.
