Compact Side Fold Engineering—Why Draper Lifts Install in Tight Spaces

In today’s world, projectors aren’t just for big theaters. They’re now seen in classrooms, meeting rooms, home cinemas, and even fancy hotel lobbies. But while the screens have become more stylish and projectors more powerful, there’s still one common headache: where do you put the projector when there’s barely any ceiling space?

That’s where the Draper projector lift really shines.

What’s the Big Deal About Tight Ceilings?

Let’s be honest—ceilings are crowded. Between the air conditioning ducts, lights, speakers, and wiring, there’s often not much room left for anything else. Some people try to squeeze in a regular projector mount, only to find out it blocks something or hangs too low. It ends up looking messy and doesn’t feel safe.

In places like boardrooms or luxury homes, that won’t fly. People want things to look clean and work smoothly. That’s why compact projector lifts matter.

Draper’s Smart Design: Folded, Not Bulky

The special thing about Draper lifts is how they fold sideways instead of just dropping straight down. This side-fold movement is what makes them perfect for tight or tricky ceilings. It doesn’t take much room when tucked in but still reaches down far enough when you need it to.

Even better? It folds away neatly when not in use. That means no projector blocking your ceiling view. It hides away as if it were never there.

The Micro Projector Lift—Small But Does the Job

If you’re working with minimal space, Draper’s Micro Projector Lift is worth a look. It fits right into a standard 2×2 ceiling tile—no need to break open the roof or add anything fancy.

It can carry up to 35 pounds and lowers the projector smoothly with strong straps and a safety belt. It’s perfect for small classrooms, home theater rooms, and small offices. Just press a switch, and it comes down. When you’re done, it goes right back up.

The AeroLift Series – For a Bit More Power and Style

If you need something a little stronger but still want a neat look, the AeroLift range is a great fit. These lifts also remain hidden in the ceiling when not in use. When it’s showtime, they drop down quietly and do their job.

There are three main versions:

• AeroLift 35 – Small and light. Best for tight spots.
• AeroLift 100 – Can handle heavier projectors.
• AeroLift 150 – Strongest of the three, but still sleek.

All three keep your space clean, modern, and free of ugly wires or bulky gear.

Got a Big Room? The Scissor Lift Series Handles That

Now, let’s say you’re working in a huge hall or auditorium. You’ve got a big projector, one of those high-brightness beasts. You’ll need a lift that’s not just strong but stable too.

That’s where the Scissor Lift SL and SLX come in. These are serious pieces of equipment. They can hold over 350 pounds and drop down as far as 28 feet. That’s like lowering a projector from a third-floor window!

Even with its considerable size, Draper still ensures it folds neatly when stored. Even in a large venue, you achieve a clean, ceiling-like look.
