Video Projector Lifts

Draper offers the most sophisticated, comprehensive line of lifts, with seven different models to keep your projector hidden when it is not in use. Hide your projector in the ceiling, wall, or even table top with Draper's innovative, modern designs. We have the range of functionality to fit any room or auditorium.


Micro Projector Lift

Designed for today's smaller projectors.

The Micro Projector Lift (MPL) is small and convenient, just like the projectors it is designed to accommodate. Weighing only 35 pounds, it can be installed in an existing 2' x 2' ceiling opening without disturbing the ceiling framework. All components can be serviced from below the unit. The projector's "show" position can be set at any point with infinite adjustability, up to 48" extension.

The Micro Projector Lift utilizes the same exclusive 3-scissor design as Draper's popular Scissor Lift (see tab at left), but features a compact side-folding scissor. The load is lifted by two 1" wide Kevlar® straps. Safety belt provides extra protection. Closed height of lifting unit is only 5" tall (not including projector, mounting mechanism or closure), so a minimal amount of overhead ceiling space is required.

Scissor Lift Series — SL & SLX

The original scissor lift with "store, show and service" positions.

Draper's Scissor Lift will retract your projector to ceiling level or above, and then lower it to the exact projection and service positions. Draper sets "show" position to your specifications at the factory, and adjustments are easy after installation.

Scissors on the left, right and back sides of the unit stabilize the projector from any sway both laterally and front-to-back.

Scissor Lift models SL4-SL10 feature a small footprint: 23" wide and 231/2" deep.

Projectors can be bolted directly to the lift's bottom pan, or mounted with the optional SMS Low Profile Mount (see tab at left). The movement of the pan is driven by a gearmotor with a powerful, reliable metal chain drive system. Each lift is equipped with a fail-safe inertial safety belt system and a cable management system that includes a pre-wired power cable on the back scissor, bringing 110v current right to your projector.

Operation is 115v; switching is 12v. Lifting capacity is 350 lbs.

SLX — Lowers projector up to 17'

Seven Scissor Lift SLX models offer "service" positions ranging from 11' to 17'. A slightly larger footprint (27" wide x 291/2" deep) allows for the extended travel with no loss of stability. Lifting capacity is 350 lb.

LCD Lift

Bomb bay doors and a slim cross-section distinguish the LCD Lift. Most popular LCD and DLP projectors fit inside this lift, which is available in two sizes — Model A and Model B. Bomb bay style closure doors or flat closure panel available.

Environmental airspace housing of aluminum is standard. Contains internal switched duplex receptacle, 115-volt AC, which is powered when the unit is fully down. The LCD Lift contains an innovative current sensor that delays closing of the unit until the projector lamp has shut off. Lifting capacity 65 lbs.

Revelation

You won't see or hear the projector.

The Revelation is totally different from traditional projector lifts and mounts. Draper's Revelation permanently conceals the projector — and its noise — above the ceiling at all times. Other lifts typically lower the projector into the room from a ceiling recess, or lift it into the seating area from a table hideaway.

You'll be astonished by what you see—and don't see—and don't hear—when your projector is mounted in a Revelation. You won't see or hear the projector—not before, during or after the show. You'll only see a hinged door in the ceiling, finished in white.

Available in two models, Revelation A and Revelation B both require only 13-5/8" of space above the ceiling, and both can be installed to fit within a 2' x 2' ceiling grid, or used with reveal-style grid ceilings (like Armstrong's Silhouette-style grid system). Together, these two models accommodate a wide variety of projectors, including those with offset lenses.

At the heart of the Revelation's dual first surface mirror system is two optical-grade glass mirrors that are 94% reflective. This mirror system provides for optimum flatness and reflectivity.

Combine the Revelation with a ceiling-recessed Draper projection screen and take your projection showmanship to a new level.

AeroLift 25, 50 & 150

Three models to lift up to 25, 50 or 150 lbs. With a simplified design, AeroLifts install in even the tightest spots. They offer a different look than the mechanical one of scissor lifts.

All three models are powered by strong tubular motors for a simplified design, and feature a stabilizing arm, which can be used for cable management. Built-in adjustability allows you to deal with job site conditions quickly and easily. Projector can be mounted flush to bottom pan, or with SMS Low Profile Mount. SMS Universal Bracket enables instant registration of projected image.

Note: The AeroLift 25, 50 and 150 can also be used to recess speakers, security cameras, videoconferencing cameras or document cameras.

Orbiter

You won't see the projector until it orbits into place.

The Orbiter is an exciting new projector mounting solution. Ingenious design allows the Orbiter to fit in small ceiling spaces. It is the only lift that can be installed in an angled ceiling, even into a wall, making it uniquely versatile. It can also be installed in a table top for the ultimate in concealment and design. The lift conceals the projector and quickly rotates it into the "show" position at the touch of a switch or wireless transmitter.

Two sizes available, Models A and B, to fit projectors up to 26 lbs. The Orbiter can also be used for videoconferencing cameras, speakers, etc.

The Orbiter can be operated by optional IR or RF remote control, standard wall switch, or integrated into your control system. The Orbiter motor is a DC – low voltage motor, 12v, which allows for easier control and wiring of the lift.

The Orbiter can also be used to mount small LCD flat panel displays into wall, concealing them when not in use. Then rotating open, revealing the display when needed.

Phantom

Hiding in the ceiling, or in a table top, only to reveal itself at just the right time.

The totally unique Phantom is a clever alternative to other video projector lifts. It quickly and quietly dips the projector out of the ceiling or table top and into the "show" position at the touch of a switch or wireless transmitter. The audience will think it materialized like an apparition.

The projector is mounted into a framework above the ceiling, or below a table or piece of furniture. When activated, a trapdoor lowers the projector into your room, or rises to show position from a table top, using a precision actuator with pre-set limits. The projector is easily aligned during installation to provide a direct light path onto your Draper projection screen.

The Phantom is supplied with a universal-style bracket that allows for easy attachment of a variety of projector models. Two Phantom models to choose from that fit most projectors up to 26 lbs. The Phantom motor is a DC – low voltage motor, 24v, which allows for easier control and wiring of the lift. The Phantom can also be used for videoconferencing cameras, speakers, etc.
