UK - 5 Star Cases has launched a new version of its established Powerlift system, designed to widen choices in the ever-expanding LCD and plasma screen market. 5 Star's Keith Sykes comments, "We've been building cases for this type of application for some time, and saw great potential in offering a standard, highly flexible 'out-of-the-box' system which is quick, easy and painless to rig and set up."

The Powerlift consists of one of 5 Star's Tour Grade cases together with a recently launched, electrically powered lifting mechanism. The lift has been custom designed for the specific requirements of lifting LCD and plasma screens. It features a small footprint and a robust all-steel construction.

The 24V motor drive is coupled to a high quality lead-screw jacking system that has both upper and lower limit settings for fine tuning and adjustment. A wireless hand-held remote for the raise/lower function is provided as standard in addition to a wired control.

The Powerlift system is designed for LCD and plasma screens of up to 50" wide, with a total weight of 75kg, and can be specified with or without speakers attached.
