Product Focus – Projector Lifts
Last month, we took you through the history of the projector, from Chinese lanterns in 200 BC to modern digital projectors. Luckily, in today’s modern age, we no longer have large, cumbersome equipment that is difficult to store. With the addition of projector lifts, we can even hide it out of sight for a sleek and smooth finish.
Similar to our TV lifts, a projector lift is essentially an electrically powered system that allows users to conceal their projectors in ceiling voids. At the press of a button, people can lower the projector to a preset height, ensuring consistency and reliability. This eliminates the need for manual setup, providing a convenient and stress-free experience every time.
Could you let me know if I need a lift?
Perhaps you’re unsure whether your facilities require a projector lift? Then, don’t worry, as projector lifts come in a variety of sizes to accommodate everything from small meeting room projectors to large installation projectors. They also come in a variety of drops, so there is a projector lift for every job, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for your needs.
Perhaps you have a meeting room that requires a variety of equipment, or you have an establishment such as a church or a historic Victorian building where you’d like electronics to be discreetly integrated. Perhaps you have a hotel or conferencing facility where rooms have dual purposes, in which case, equipment needs to be stored when not in use. Alternatively, you may have a home cinema where you would like a smooth and clean finish. Whatever your need, there is a lift that can meet it.
An added benefit of using a lift is that it eliminates the need to either disconnect the projector or stand on ladders, access towers, or cherry pickers to change a bulb. The lift allows the user to lower the projector to ground level for easy maintenance. Not only that, though, as projector lifts offer an enhanced level of security, when not in use, the equipment is stored away, safely out of sight from potential thieves.
WHAT KIND OF LIFT DO I NEED?
There is a wide variety of lifts to choose from. The most common type uses a scissor mechanism to raise the lift into its casing or the ceiling void. However, there are also mirror lifts available for standard-height ceilings, which, when the projector is mounted above the ceiling in the void, a mirror folds down into the room to reflect the projected image onto the screen or wall.
In our store, we offer a wide range of lifts, ranging from the Sapphire SAPPL04 Projector Lift, perfect for smaller projectors, to the Future Automation PD3.5 Projector Lift, which features three drop options and ultra-quiet movement. Please feel free to explore our full range of Projector Lifts.
