Draper Scissor Lift SLX21 - 300253

Product Overview

The Draper Scissor Lift SLX21 is a heavy-duty commercial projector ceiling lift designed for large-venue AV installations where high-ceiling access and projector stability are required. Supporting up to 350 lb (159 kg), the SLX21 extends up to 21 feet (640 cm) — a practical range for auditoriums, multi-purpose rooms, and university lecture halls with mid-to-high ceiling structures. Three independent scissor assemblies deliver lateral and front-to-back stability across the full travel range, and two programmable show positions enable repeatable projection placement 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 SLX21 addresses commercial AV installations where projectors are large and maintenance access at height is a recurring need. Three scissor sets distribute load laterally and front-to-back to reduce vibration, keeping the image stable during long-running presentations or services.

Two programmable show positions provide flexibility for venues that use the space in different configurations. Positions are memory-retentive and survive power interruptions — the lift restores to set positions automatically, requiring no technician intervention after power restoration. The SLX21 supports projectors drawing up to 12 amps and includes a built-in 115V or 240V UL-listed receptacle for direct projector power from the lift chassis.

Optional accessories include Environmental Airspace Housing for plenum-rated installations, a ceiling closure panel (white or black) for finished ceiling appearance, a ceiling finish kit with trim ring, a universal projector bracket, and factory-installed cable runs for video and control signals. Standard controls are a wall switch and service key switch; optional IR enables third-party AV control system integration.
