Ultralift expertise and answers
What is anti-ligature AV design and where is it required?
Anti-ligature AV design aims to reduce accessible points or features that could be misused in a managed environment. It is relevant to behavioural-health, mental-health, justice, corrections and other secure settings. Product selection must follow the facility risk assessment, clinical or operational brief and project requirements.
Ultralift designs and fabricates its systems in-house in Melbourne.
Ultralift has focused on motorised AV lift and mounting systems since 1999.
In-house engineering and CAD support are available before construction details are locked.
Final suitability depends on equipment, structure, movement, access and the project brief.
The product does not replace the risk assessment
An anti-ligature product forms one part of the room and operating environment. Equipment, fixings, gaps, access, cleaning, inspection, maintenance and the surrounding construction must be considered by the responsible project and facility team.
Plan access and maintenance early
Protected equipment still needs installation, inspection and service access. These activities should be planned so the finished installation supports the intended environment without creating an avoidable operational problem.
Frequently asked questions
Where are anti-ligature TV mounts used?
They are commonly considered in mental-health, behavioural-health, justice, corrections and other managed or secure environments.
Does an anti-ligature mount certify the whole room?
No. The complete room and operating environment require their own risk, design and compliance assessment.
What information should be provided to Ultralift?
Provide the facility type, risk and operational brief, screen or projector details, wall or ceiling construction, access requirements and relevant project standards.
