Here we show you how to use a lifting device for furniture carcasses

With an electric lifting device for a furniture carcass, you can extend furniture carcasses from a piece of furniture. This allows you to lift levels in the furniture on which the coffee machine, a food processor or another kitchen appliance is placed. The lifting system for furniture carcasses is available in various stroke lengths and lifting forces.

Hide cupboards in the furniture

With an electric lifting device for a furniture carcase, you can, for example, extend a cupboard, a shelving unit from a cooking island or from a kitchen worktop. This allows you to make optimum use of corners or corner areas by lowering them into the kitchen. In this way, you utilise unused space in the furniture and have more room to store things.

This is how much a lifting system for furniture can lift

The lifting devices for furniture can lift up to 500 kg and more, depending on the design. The lifting systems receive their power from the internal threaded spindle and its pitch. The lateral forces are absorbed by the outer casing. Depending on the extension path and weight load, the lateral forces can be stronger or weaker. For light loads, you can, for example, use theseLifting systems for furniture carcassescan be purchased. For heavy-duty applications, we haveheavy-duty lifting systems for furniture carcasseswhich you can order online. If you require even heavier loads or load distribution, you can use up to 16 drives in multi-parallel operation. In this case, 4 control units with 4 drives each are connected together using multi-parallel cables. The 4 control units then control the exact synchronised movement.

How to achieve the best weight force distribution

To achieve the best lifting values, we recommend realising the electric lifting device for furniture with two to four lateral drives, depending on the weight to be lifted. This allows you to achieve an ideal "centre of gravity" for the drives when absorbing the force for the furniture body. The weight load is centred so that no tilting or bending moments occur (even when extended). The furniture carcase then extends upwards without warping or tilting. If you use four drives in the corners of the carcase, you will never have tilting moments, even with uneven loads (due to additional loads), as the load forces in the carcase are then fully absorbed at the corners. The use of 4 drives in each corner is the optimum solution.

Optimum positioning of the carcase lifting system in the unit

You can also place the lifting device for furniture behind the carcase so that it is concealed by the carcase. In this application, however, very high bending moments occur depending on the weight of the carcase and the load. For this reason, the total weight of the carcase and load must not exceed 30 kg. However, if you require this drive positioning with a higher payload, please contact us so that we can recommend the right lifting system for furniture carcasses.

Installation height

The electric lifting device is available in different installation heights. For example, we offer lifting devices that only have a very low installation height. These are called mini lifting devices.
