lift mechanism

If you think our TV lift mechanism are meant only for TVs, you’re in for a big surprise. Read on to know what Doug at Artfully Rogue did with the lift! You can watch the video here.

Out of an entire range of TV lift mechanism sizes (from 25 to 46  inches), Doug chose a 25-inch lift for his project. The sturdiness of each lift is unbeatable, letting you choose whichever size you want, without any anxiety. Of course, common sense and specified weight limits are the only considerations. 

The motor and controller come ready to use. You don’t need any assembling. The mounting kit also contains screws to mount the TV onto the lift mechanism, but that is if you want to use it as a TV lift mechanism. Doug clearly had other plans.

Doug used metal tubing to make legs and rails. Next, he welded it all together to make a frame. Once the frame of the cabinet was made, he placed a metallic plate at the bottom, making a sturdy base, to place the TV lift mechanism on. Another metallic plate was used

Are you a “Do-it-Yourself” person?  Then perhaps building your own TV Lift Cabinet and installing our lift mechanism is the best solution for you.

One of our customers, who purchased our Uplift 3700 Lift mechanism, recently shared his project results with us.   He was able to convert a birch dresser cabinet into his own TV Lift Cabinet.  He removed the dresser drawers and installed a center compartment for his speakers.  In the back of the cabinet he installed our Uplift lift Mechanism directly behind the speaker compartment.  The end result is one impressive home-made TV Lift Cabinet!

This customer did, however, have a question regarding our 12-Volt Trigger feature.

Customer Question:

How does one use the 12-volt power outlet located on the lift mechanism?  I am trying to devise a way to get IR commands into the cabinet to activate a receiver, the lift mechanism and a 42-inch plasma TV.

Our Answer:

To use the 12 volt trigger you will need a 1/8” stereo jack.
