Chief SMART-LIFT Automated Projector Mount for Fixed Ceilings

The Chief SL236FD is a ceiling-mounted projector lift that makes it easy to reveal or conceal your projector with the press of a button. Designed for home theaters, boardrooms, classrooms, and hospitality venues, it moves smoothly and quietly so presentations start without distraction and movies begin without mechanical hum.

The lift needs only 11 inches of space above the ceiling, yet it can travel downward as much as 36 inches. Three programmable stopping points let you set precise drop heights that match different screens or room configurations. When retracted, the projector sits completely out of sight for a clean, professional ceiling line.

Control is flexible. You can operate the SL236FD with an infrared remote, an RF remote, or integrate it into a larger control system through low-voltage connections ranging from 5 to 30 volts AC or DC. The unit is plenum-rated, which means it meets safety requirements for use in air-handling spaces, a key consideration for many commercial installations.

Fine-tuning the image is straightforward thanks to fore-and-aft and left-and-right positioning adjustments built into the mechanism. A quick-disconnect feature lets installers remove the projector for service or trade show transport without having to disassemble the entire mount. The lift accommodates projectors or other equipment that fit within a 9.5 by 20 by 23.25 inch envelope, and the assembly itself weighs 85 pounds.

Whether you are creating a high-end home cinema or outfitting a corporate training room, the Chief SL236FD provides a reliable, low-profile solution that keeps the projector secure, aligned, and tucked away until needed.
