Calling all Designers -- This product is for you!

How many times has this happened --  after endlessly searching, you’ve finally found that perfect piece of art that ties the whole room together. The one that will sit right above the mantle and bring in just the right amount of blue but also gives that extra pop of color to make it a focal point. Then your client tells you they want the TV to go there instead. That’s where we can help! Our art and panel lifts are just what you need to merge the convenience of TV viewing without compromising the elegance of the room design. Our lifts use your long-searched-for piece of art to conceal the TV. At the push of button, the art moves left, right, up or down and reveals the TV for viewing. 

Have a brick fireplace or an area where there isn’t enough room to recess the TV into the wall? No problem! Our surface mount art lift was designed just for that. Both the TV and art are mounted directly onto the wall’s surface. No recess required.

We love collaborating! Have an idea but not sure how to make it happen? Call us! We want to help with your next design.

TV Lifts -- Not just for the living room and not just for TVs

The majority of our customers use our products to conceal TVs in the living room and bedroom, but we think there are more opportunities outside those rooms and not just for TVs.

Kitchen Cooking

Have you ever been watching a cooking show on the Food Network and wanted to cook right along with them? Or maybe you really want to watch that evening news segment, but need to start preparing dinner. Well why not install a TV lift right into the counter top? Our Pop-Up and Swivel option makes for easy viewing from anywhere in the room! 

Back-to-Back

Why not take it one step further and install two lifts, back to back. That way people can sit on opposite sides of the room and both be watching the same thing at the same time.

Swap the TV

Our lifts aren't just for TVs either. Think of all those kitchen appliances that you'd just rather keep out of sight. Maybe you'd like to hide an induction system underneath the counter. Perhaps that "morning row" of coffee machine, toaster and blender could be kept out of sight but immediately available at the click of a button. The possibilities are endless.

Let's collaborate. We love thinking of non-conventional ways to use our lift products. We've found so many uses for our lifts that go beyond the expected. Have you thought of a new way to use our lifts? Let's brainstorm some interesting ideas for your next project.

NEW! Surface Mount Art Lift

We are excited to announce our latest product, the Surface Mount Art Lift.

Our latest product brings a revolutionary design to the art lift category. This lift can be mounted directly onto the wall´s surface, so there is no need to recess the unit into the wall. However, it is multifunctional and can be installed either way. Our design even has a TV bracket built into the unit, so it's a one stop shop.

The surface mount art lift is extremely sturdy and quiet with a compact motorized drive. It uses less than 1 Amp 120 volts AC. With simple installation (holes 16" C-C), this lift has an art or panel weight capacity of over 50 pounds.

You can check our our website for the specifications or call/email us today for more information!
