October 10, 2007—Motion Control Systems has introduced Starlift, a multi-use lift for easy and safe installation of items up to 16 feet high.
Starlift is a portable, electric lift with four sturdy, adjustable legs that can be used in uneven applications such as stairs and pitched sidewalks. One leg can even retract for close positioning against walls, notes the company.
The solid, telescopic mast is made of aluminum alloy and has a built-in level, insuring stability in all situations. A remote control handle controls the variable lifting speed, allowing the operator to stand away while raising or lowering the lift. The electric motor has an emergency shut-down and a hand-operated override crank.
Businesses that install signs, awnings, fixed canopies, sheetrock, heating and air conditioning units, garage doors and other cumbersome items are finding it drastically cuts installation time, according to the company. It safely holds the equipment steady for a one-person installation at any height up to 16 feet.
Starlift sets up in minutes without tools. Depending upon the model, and for safety reasons, it is not recommended to lift over 200 pounds more than nine feet or over 120 pounds more than 11 feet.
Motion Control Systems is a supplier of motors and controls for rolling shutters, retractable awnings, interior window treatments and lifting needs. For more information on Starlift and Motion Control Systems, visit the Web site.
