TV Lift Mechanisms

What is a hidden TV lift Mechanism system?

It’s an automated mechanism that uses a metal frame to secure your TV to a motorised linear actuator. It also includes a control module that lets you operate the lift with a switch, handheld remote, or smart home control system. The system lets you conceal flat-screen TVs within custom cabinets, under floors, in ceiling voids, within walls, or behind moving artwork. With the press of a button, the TV slides into view. The most popular mechanism is the pop-up TV Lift.

Space Saving

Beyond adding a sleek, sophisticated touch to your home, TV lifts offer several benefits. You can adjust your TV’s height and angle for the perfect viewing experience, making it ideal for rooms with limited space or awkward layouts. Plus, hidden TVs eliminate the need for extra furniture, creating a more spacious, clutter-free environment.

Commercial Applications 

TV lifts are also popular in commercial settings, such as hotels, offices, and conference rooms. They offer a convenient way to display important information or presentations without compromising the room’s design aesthetic.

Explore Our Range Of Hidden TV Lift Mechanisms

  • Pop-Up TV Lifts: Suitable for custom cabinetry, end-of-bed units, desks and even kitchen islands. With the press of a button, your TV smoothly rises to the perfect viewing height; when you’re done, it gently lowers back out of sight. Available with standard push flap and advanced lid-lifting features.
  • In-Ceiling Fold-Down & Inverted Lifts: Ideal for bedrooms, luxury apartments and open-plan living where floor and wall space is limited. Choose a vertical drop-down lift or a hinged fold-down mechanism that hides the TV flat within the ceiling cavity.
  • Under-Bed TV: These mechanisms are really quite spectacular; nothing quite compares. Hide your TV flat underneath the bed frame when you’re not using it. When you’re ready, this mechanism gently slides the TV out from under the bed, hinges it up 90 degrees, then raises it to the perfect viewing height.
  • Moving Artwork & Sliding Mirror Lifts: Conceal your flat screen behind a beautiful canvas, decorative panel or a mirror. When you’re ready to watch TV, the artwork gently slides horizontally or vertically to reveal the recessed screen behind it.
  • Specialised Out-of-Floor Lifts: For the ultimate high-end solution. A walk-on flap sits flush with the floor, then lowers inside and rolls out of the way. Then your TV smoothly rises out of the floor on a beautiful stainless steel pole to the perfect viewing height, and a baseboard fills the gap for a flawless finish.

Key Things to Consider Before Choosing a Basic TV Lift

Before purchasing a basic pop-up TV lift, keep three main elements in mind to ensure you choose the right lift for your enclosure or cabinet design.

Feature What It Means Why It Matters
Total Lift Stroke The mechanism’s maximum travel distance. Must be greater than your TV height plus the cabinet lid thickness and clearance room.
Minimum Internal Height The physical height of the lift when fully retracted. Dictates the minimum internal space required inside your custom furniture.
Lid/Flap Style The mechanism that clears the top opening. Options range from basic push-up lid lifters to premium automated drop-and-roll flap actuators.
Rotation The TV rotates or hinges after it’s raised. The TV can be moved to be viewed from multiple places, ideal for kitchen islands or end-of-bed cabinets.
