Product Overview
The Draper SL8 is a motorized scissor lift designed to support larger, brighter video projectors drawing up to 12 amps, with an 8-foot drop range. It is ideal for commercial AV installations with higher ceiling heights where the projector must be lowered a greater distance to achieve the correct operating height for throw distance. The SL series supports high-lumen commercial projectors that exceed the power ratings of the SLX series.
Product Description

The SL8 provides an 8-foot motorized drop to accommodate projector installations in rooms with high ceilings, mezzanines, or architectural situations requiring greater vertical travel. The motorized scissor mechanism is rated for projectors up to 12 amps, covering high-lumen commercial and professional projector models. Remote or low-voltage control integration is standard. When retracted, the projector is concealed flush with the ceiling. The optional Ceiling Closure Panel (300292) provides a finished ceiling appearance.
