Jelco EL-65 EZ-LIFT Hydraulic Shipping and Display Case for 55-65" Touch-Screen Displays

Product Overview

The Jelco EL-65 is a hydraulic display lift case specifically designed for 55-65" touch-screen monitors used in commercial AV deployments. Unlike standard flat-screen cases, the EL-65 features a deeper custom foam interior to accommodate the added depth of touch overlays and interactive panels common in digital signage, wayfinding, and conference room applications. ATA-300 rated case construction protects these higher-value displays through commercial freight, and the hydraulic lift mechanism raises the panel for presentation without any electrical power.

Product Description

Touch-screen displays are among the most damage-sensitive panels in a commercial AV inventory, combining the fragility of a large flat-panel screen with the vulnerability of an exposed touch overlay or bezel-mounted sensors. The EL-65 addresses this with a custom foam interior cut specifically to the depth profile of your touch-screen panel—specified at time of order—to immobilize the display and prevent contact between the touch surface and the case foam. The ATA-300 rated case shell provides the structural protection required for air and ground freight.

On-site, the EL-65 uses the JELCO EZ-LIFT Frame System with shock mounting to raise the touch panel to a workable presentation or interactive height with one person operating the hydraulic column. This eliminates the need for a separate stand and the associated setup time at tradeshow booths, conference rooms, or live event venues. The case rolls on 4" heavy-duty locking casters and includes a cavity cover to protect the interior when the panel is deployed. A display mounting bracket is included. The system is TAA compliant, made in Wheeling, IL, and carries a 1-year limited warranty on the case and 5-year on the lift mechanism. Lead time is approximately 3 weeks. Accessories include custom logo drape kits, EL-21 hanging shelf, and EL-26 stabilizer plate kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the EL-65 and the EL-60?

A: The EL-65 is designed specifically for touch-screen monitors, while the EL-60 is built for standard flat-screen panels in the same 55-65" size range. The EL-65 features a deeper foam profile to accommodate the additional depth created by touch overlays and interactive bezels. If your display is a touch-screen or has an interactive overlay, the EL-65 is the correct model.

Q: Does the EL-65 protect the touch surface during shipping?

A: Yes. The custom foam interior is cut to the depth profile of your specific touch-screen panel, preventing the touch glass or overlay from contacting the case foam or other surfaces during transit.

Q: Does the EL-65 require electrical power to operate?

A: No. The hydraulic lift is manually operated and requires no power source of any kind.

Q: How is the custom foam ordered?

A: Provide the make and model of your specific touch-screen display at time of order. Jelco cuts the foam to that display's exact dimensions and depth profile. Lead time is approximately 3 weeks.

Q: Is the EL-65 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. It is manufactured in the USA and meets TAA requirements for government and institutional procurement.

Q: Can the EL-65 be used for interactive kiosk deployments?

A: Yes. The case raises the touch panel to an appropriate interactive height and locks in position, making it well-suited for tradeshow kiosks, digital signage, and customer-facing interactive applications.

Q: What is the warranty?

A: 1-year limited on the case, 5-year limited on the hydraulic lift mechanism.
