Draper Scissor Lift SLX14 - 300251

Product Overview

The Draper SLX14 is a ceiling-mounted electric scissor lift for commercial AV installations requiring a maximum projector drop of 14 feet (168"). The SLX series is the standard for integrators specifying motorized projector lifts in conference rooms, auditoriums, lecture halls, and boardrooms where projector concealment above the ceiling line is required when the system is not in use. The scissor mechanism deploys and retracts on a quiet DC motor with a 150 lb payload capacity.

Product Description

The SLX14 uses Draper's scissor lift mechanism to deploy a ceiling-mounted projector through a ceiling cutout when the system is activated. When retracted, the projector sits flush above the ceiling plane with only a trim ring visible — the preferred specification for executive boardrooms, courts, and high-finish commercial spaces where a ceiling-mounted projector bracket is unacceptable.

The SLX14 offers a 14-foot (168") maximum drop — suited for installations in spaces with high ceiling-to-seating-area ratios, tall auditoriums, atriums, or multi-story lobby spaces where conventional scissor lifts with shorter drops cannot reach the required throw distance. A built-in lock-out relay prevents operation while maintenance access panels are open. LED status indicators provide visual confirmation of lift position. The RF remote is included for standalone operation, and the LVC-IV Low Voltage Controller is the standard integration path for Crestron, Extron, AMX, and Control4 systems.

Electrical: 110V single-phase. Installation requires a ceiling cutout sized to the projector footprint plus the scissor mechanism housing. Contact Creation Networks for rough-in dimensions specific to the projector model being integrated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why specify the SLX14 over shorter-drop SLX models?
The SLX14 is specified when the throw distance from the ceiling requires a 14-foot drop to achieve the correct projector-to-screen geometry. This applies to tall auditoriums, atriums, or spaces with high ceilings where shorter SLX models (SLX10, SLX14) cannot lower the projector far enough for proper image throw.

What projectors are compatible?
Any projector within the 150 lb capacity limit and within the footprint supported by the scissor housing. Contact Creation Networks for projector-specific compatibility and rough-in dimension requirements.

Does it work with Crestron or other control systems?
Yes. The SLX14 integrates with Crestron, Extron, AMX, Control4, and other AV control platforms via the LVC-IV Low Voltage Controller interface.

What is the warranty?
