Draper Scissor Lift SLX17 - 300252

Product Overview

The Draper Scissor Lift SLX17 is a heavy-duty commercial projector ceiling lift designed for venues with mid-to-high ceilings where projector stability and reliable access are priorities. With a 350 lb (159 kg) lifting capacity and a maximum extension of 17 feet (518 cm), the SLX17 is a practical choice for houses of worship, mid-size auditoriums, training rooms, and government briefing spaces. Three independent scissor assemblies keep the projector stable laterally and front-to-back across the full travel range, while two programmable show positions allow venue operators to set repeatable projection heights without manual adjustment between events.

Product Description

The SLX series is Draper's top-tier ceiling-mounted projector lift, hand-assembled and factory-tested in Spiceland, Indiana. The SLX17 is built for commercial AV environments where projectors support high-lumen output up to 12 amps and where maintenance at height is an ongoing operational need. Three scissor sets distribute the projector load laterally and front-to-back, reducing vibration that would otherwise affect image quality during extended presentations.

Two programmable show positions can be set for different event configurations while retaining full-up storage and full-down service positions. These settings survive power interruptions — the lift restores to programmed positions automatically, without technician intervention. Power is supplied to the projector via a built-in 115V or 240V UL-listed receptacle in the lift chassis, eliminating the need for a separate ceiling electrical run to the projector.

Optional accessories include Environmental Airspace Housing for plenum-rated ceiling installations, a ceiling closure panel (white standard, black available), a ceiling finish kit with trim ring, a universal projector bracket, and factory-installed video and control cable runs. Standard control is a wall switch and service key switch; optional IR enables integration with Crestron, Control4, and other commercial AV control systems.
