Designed Around Your Requirements

Some Projects Cannot Be Solved With a Standard Lift.

Ultralift Australia designs and manufactures custom motorised lift systems, concealed mounting mechanisms and bespoke AV movement solutions for projects where off-the-shelf products are not enough. If a screen, projector, camera, panel, enclosure or specialist piece of equipment needs to move, lift, lower, rotate, tilt, slide, conceal or deploy in a specific way, our team can help develop a system around the project.

Custom work is often required when the space is unusual, the equipment is oversized, the movement is non-standard, or the design intent leaves no room for a conventional bracket or mount. It may also be needed when the lift needs to integrate into detailed joinery, a ceiling cavity, a floor structure, a wall system, a road case, an outdoor enclosure or a broader AV control environment.

Ultralift works with architects, builders, AV integrators, cabinet makers, designers, engineers, venue operators, project managers and specialist contractors to develop practical movement systems that suit the equipment, the space and the way the installation needs to function.

Our custom and bespoke systems are commonly used in:
  • Architect-designed homes
  • Luxury residential projects
  • Boardrooms and executive spaces
  • Defence and government environments
  • Hotels, clubs and hospitality venues
  • Education and training facilities
  • Retail and showroom displays
  • Museums, galleries and exhibition spaces
  • Outdoor and coastal installations
  • Marine and transportable AV systems
  • Specialist commercial fit-outs
  • Prototype and one-off project requirements

Built around the project, not the catalogue

A bespoke system starts with the outcome: what needs to move, where it needs to go, how it needs to operate and what constraints are in the way.

That might mean a television lifting from below floor level, a projector disappearing into a ceiling, a display travelling through custom cabinetry, a camera lowering into position for conferencing, a panel opening to reveal equipment, or a transportable display system that protects the screen during transit and deploys on site.

In some cases, the challenge is mechanical. In others, it is architectural, environmental, spatial or operational. The solution needs to consider structure, load, clearances, access, cables, controls, finishes, user operation, safety, servicing and long-term reliability.

Because Ultralift manufactures locally in Australia, we can work closely with project teams to modify existing systems or develop a purpose-built solution where the application requires it.

Common custom design challenges

Design Challenge

Ultralift Solution

Non-standard screen sizes or weights

Challenge

Large displays, specialist screens or unusual mounting arrangements may not suit a standard lift or bracket.

Ultralift solution

We can assess the equipment dimensions, weight, mounting pattern and movement requirements to determine whether an existing product can be modified or whether a custom system is required.

Tight architectural constraints

Challenge

High-end residential and commercial projects often involve limited cavities, custom panels, precise shadow lines, premium finishes and very little tolerance for visible hardware.

Ultralift solution

Custom systems can be designed around the available space, access points and finish requirements so the mechanism works with the architecture rather than against it.

Unusual movement requirements

Challenge

Some projects need equipment to move in more than one direction, tilt to a specific angle, rotate, slide, rise, drop or deploy from a concealed position.

Ultralift solution

Ultralift can develop bespoke mechanisms for specialised movement sequences, depending on the load, space, safety requirements and control method.

Integration into joinery or built form

Challenge

Cabinetry, walls, floors and ceilings often need to be designed around the lift from the beginning. If the lift is considered too late, compromises are almost guaranteed.

Ultralift solution

We can provide technical input early so builders, joiners and AV teams understand the clearances, fixing requirements, service access and movement envelope.

Outdoor, marine or corrosive environments

Challenge

Coastal homes, marine settings and outdoor installations may expose equipment to salt air, humidity, heat, insects, dust and corrosion risk.

Ultralift solution

Material selection, powder coating, ventilation, drainage, access and enclosure design can be considered as part of the custom solution.

Transportable or temporary AV systems

Challenge

Some projects need AV equipment to be moved between sites, protected during transport and deployed quickly when required.

Ultralift solution

Custom road cases, mobile display systems and transportable lift mechanisms can be developed for training, events, demonstrations, Defence, education and commercial use.

Specialist equipment positioning

Challenge

Not every project involves a TV. Cameras, projectors, monitors, signage, sensors, panels and other equipment may also need controlled movement or concealment.

Ultralift solution

We can design and manufacture lift or mounting systems around the actual equipment, rather than forcing the equipment into a standard AV category.

Bespoke systems we can assist with

Custom TV lifts

Purpose-built lift systems for televisions that need to rise, lower, tilt, rotate, conceal or deploy from unusual locations, including ceilings, floors, walls, cabinetry and architectural features.

Modified standard products

In many cases, a fully bespoke product is not required. An existing Ultralift product may be modified to suit the equipment size, travel, finish, control method or installation environment.

What we need to assess a custom project

The earlier we are involved, the better the outcome. For custom and bespoke work, useful information includes:

What equipment needs to move
Equipment dimensions, weight and mounting pattern
Required movement, including lift, drop, tilt, slide, rotation or travel distance
Installation location, such as ceiling, floor, wall, cabinet, enclosure or mobile case
Available space and clearances
Drawings, sketches, photos or site measurements
Desired finish, panel detail or concealment method
Power, cabling and control requirements
Structural support and fixing points
Access for servicing and future replacement
Environmental conditions, including outdoor, coastal, dusty or public settings
Project timeline and installation constraints

Designed and manufactured in Australia

Ultralift Australia has been designing and manufacturing motorised lift and mounting systems in Melbourne since 1999. Local manufacturing allows us to work closely with project teams, respond to unusual requirements and support products beyond the initial sale.

Custom work requires honest technical discussion. Sometimes a standard product can be adapted. Sometimes a different approach is needed. Sometimes the project constraints need to change for the system to work properly. Our role is to help identify the practical path before the build reaches the point where changes become expensive.

Need a custom lift or bespoke AV solution?

If your project needs a screen, projector, camera, panel or specialist item to move in a specific way, contact Ultralift Australia early. We can help assess the requirement, recommend a suitable product or explore a custom-built solution
