In Ceiling fold down TV lift mechanisms are a great solution to enable you to hide your flat screen TV away when not in use. They are used extensively in high end hotels, luxury homes, yachts and in boardrooms. Adding a touch of class to anyone wanting to conceal their large screen TV’s as much as possible. There are a range of different sized models catering for all screen sizes up to 86″. There is also with a variety additional articulation options including 180 degree rotation and telescopic drop. In this post we are going to be taking a closer look at the different models of fold down in ceiling TV lifts and what applications they are suitable for.

The Future Automation CHR series

The CHR series are the entry level fold down lifts which are suitable for most in doors applications where you have a standard UK height ceiling. The lifts can be installed into traditional wooden joist ceilings or suspended from concrete slabs. There are 5 models in the range catering for screen sizes from 42″ up to 86″ and they all come complete with an IR remote control along with a host if other compatible control connections. The CHR series all fold a flat screen TV down from the ceiling up to 100 degrees for a comfortable viewing angle.

The Future Automation CHRS series

With the CHRS series of ceiling lift you get everything that the CHR series does only with the additional function of rotating the screen up to 180 degrees in both directions. The CHRS lifts fold the TV down to 90 degrees before allowing the user to rotate in any direction. The bi directional rotation makes this particularly useful for viewing the screen form different rooms or areas. Some of our customers have use these mechanisms in front of their patio doors so they can turn the tv around and watch it from the garden.

The Future Automation CHRT series

The CHRT series is the same as the CHR series it folds down the tv down to 90 degrees before lowering further with an additional telescopic drop. This enables you to bring the screen even further into the room for a more comfortable view. This makes the CHRT lifts especially useful in applications where the ceilings are taller than the standard UK height. This is particularly useful in more commercial and retails situations. Again the CHRT series comes in 5 different sizes catering for all screen sup to 86″. As with all the fold down lifts the CHRT also come with the unique feather in MDF surround for a seamless installation.

The Future Automation CHRST

The CHRST series fold down TV series is a hybrid lift incorporating all the features from the previous lifts. It folds down, lowers and rotates all into one unit for screen sizes up to 86″. The CHRST firstly folds the TV down to 90 degrees then you can lower the TV further with the telescopic function. Also as with the CHRS you can rotate the screen up to 180 degrees in either direction. The CHRST does require a deeper ceiling cavity than the other lifts to accommodate the additional articulation.
