Auton Leads the Way With New Plasma-TV Lifts

The Plasma TV Lift represents yet another first from Auton Motorized Systems of Santa Clarita, the world's first and largest manufacturer of motorized television lifts.

Specially designed for the new, plasma-screen televisions that have recently hit the consumer market, the Plasma TV Lift is ideal for use practically anywhere, even aboard that 85-foot yacht! Featuring a rack-and-pinion design make of welded-steel construction, there are no breakable plastic or aluminum parts or pop rivets that can loosen or come out over time.

With the Plasma TV Lift, users can conceal and reveal a thin-screen television in a cabinet with the touch of a button.

No special wiring is required -- the lift operates from a 120VAC/60Hz outlet -- and the unit is shipped completely assembled for easy installation.

Features include a manual-override switch in case of a lost or damaged remote; adjustable limit switches to control the stopping point of the lift; an electronic box that can be mounted away from the unit for easy serviceability; gear guards to prevent objects or wiring from getting caught between the gears and tracks; and two electrical outlets on the platform.

The Plasma TV Lift is available in two styles: ceiling pop-down and the up-and-down lift. The ceiling pop-down is strictly a custom item, while the up-and-down model's standard dimensions are 46"W x 32"H x 9"D, though custom sizes are available.

Since its inception in 1955, Auton has been providing motorized lift systems for architects, designers and fine-furniture makers, opening up a whole new array of design options! Auton lift systems are installed throughout the world in fine homes, offices, hotels, yachts and aircraft, just to name a few examples.

Most popular for its use in motorized furniture, other uses include ceiling pop-down televisions and projectors; motorized screens; pop-up liquor cabinets; variable-height coffee tables; pop-up displays and collections; and lift panels.

In the kitchen, Auton has motorized pop-up spice racks; oven hoods; and a "smart waiter," which brings up the groceries from the downstairs garage.

Unlike the old-fashioned "scissor-type" lifts, Auton's specially designed lifts eliminate wobble and can easily lift uneven loads. To assure the quality of the company's systems, all of Auton's lifts are made in the United States and backed by a one-year warranty.
