Jelco EL-98 EZ-LIFT Hydraulic Lift Case for 90-98" Displays

Product Overview

The Jelco EL-98 is a hydraulic flat screen lift case designed for commercial transport and display of 90-98" flat-panel screens. Built to ATA-300 case construction standards, it ships your display safely and converts to a fully functional display stand—no electrical power required. Purpose-built for tradeshow exhibitors, rental and staging companies, and corporate AV teams deploying large-format digital signage, the EL-98 is Jelco's largest standard EZ-LIFT model and one of the most capable one-person flat panel lift cases available for screens in this size class.

Product Description

The EL-98 EZ-LIFT combines a commercial-grade ATA-rated shipping case with a patented hydraulic lift mechanism that raises and lowers the display without tools, ladders, or a second technician. The case ships with custom foam interior molded to your specific display model—specify your display at time of order—so the screen arrives protected from shock, vibration, and handling damage. Once on-site, the JELCO EZ-LIFT Frame System with integrated shock mounting holds the display securely during transit and positions it at presentation height with one person operating the hydraulic column.

The EL-98 rolls on 6" heavy-duty locking casters rated for the weight of large commercial displays, and includes a cavity cover to protect the interior when the display is deployed. Stabilizer legs are included and deploy quickly to prevent tipping during use. A display mounting bracket is provided, and the system is fully TAA compliant. Optional accessories include custom logo drape kits, a hanging shelf (EL-21), and a stabilizer plate kit (EL-26). The EL-98 is manufactured in Wheeling, IL, and carries a 1-year limited warranty on the case and a 5-year limited warranty on the lift mechanism. Lead time is approximately 3 weeks as each unit is customized at time of order.
