Draper Scissor Lift SLX24 - 300254

Product Overview

The Draper Scissor Lift SLX24 is a heavy-duty commercial projector ceiling lift built for large-venue AV installations requiring projector access at height. With a 350 lb (159 kg) lifting capacity and a maximum extension of 24 feet (732 cm), the SLX24 is suited for auditoriums, houses of worship, and university lecture halls where projectors are mounted high in the ceiling structure. Three independent scissor assemblies provide lateral and front-to-back projector stability across the full travel range, and two programmable show positions enable repeatable projection placement for different event configurations.

Product Description

The SLX series is Draper's top-tier ceiling-mounted projector lift, hand-assembled and tested in Spiceland, Indiana. The SLX24 handles commercial AV deployments where projectors are heavy, ceilings are high, and reliable maintenance access is required. Three scissor sets distribute the load laterally and front-to-back, reducing vibration and drift — important for installations that run continuously without a technician on-site.

Two programmable show positions can be set independently while retaining full-up storage and full-down service positions. Position memories survive power interruptions — the lift returns to set positions automatically after power is restored. The SLX24 supports projectors drawing up to 12 amps and can supply power directly via a built-in 115V or 240V UL-listed receptacle, eliminating a separate electrical run to the projector.

The optional Environmental Airspace Housing isolates the projector from HVAC airspace for plenum-rated installations. An optional ceiling closure panel (white or black) maintains a clean ceiling appearance when the lift is retracted. Factory-installed video and control cable runs reduce field labor. Standard controls are a wall switch and service key switch, with optional IR for third-party AV system integration.
