ELEVATOR - SUNROOF SYSTEMS

Please install Flash and turn on Javascript.

These systems let you conceal scenery, or in the case above, a pooltable beneath the floor. In the video, watch for the cue ball as the table moves - there's no shake, no roll, no nothing. It just sits there, dead solid.

Our 'sunroof' mechanisms are simple, sturdy, and reliable. They are driven by wire rope, and guided by precision ball rails. They integrate nicely with our elevators.

The lock systems use a pair of pins, driven by ball-screws, to engage with receivers on the lift. The receivers are adjustable, plus or minus a 1/2", to allow for perfect tuning of the lid position. They work really well. As the tapered pins engage the plastic receiver blocks, the lid is pulled into perfect alignment.

Our elevators are simple, sturdy, compact, and reliable. They use high-quality ball-rail guides, sturdy steel frames, and are actuated with wire rope. The system includes the guide towers, lifted platform, deadhaul winch, and manual controls. The system breaks down for compact storage, and is quickly and easily assembled. We customize these for travel and platform dimension. There are many options, please contact us with your specific requirements. The price shown is for a #2,500 capacity lift, see below for examples of other sized units we've built.
