Flatlift has relied on LINAK multi-column technology since day 1 - quiet, powerful, in use worldwide since 2005. Invisible technology perfectly integrated.
Flatlift & LINAK - A technological partnership since day 1
Flatlift has developed TV lift systems based on LINAK Deskline lifting columns from the very beginning. Multi-actuator systems were already part of the portfolio in the early years and have been continuously refined, scaled and transferred to new architectural concepts. The following timeline shows the path from the first functional prototype to large-format moving panels such as those in the Federal Press Conference.
2005 - Company foundation & basic technical development
Foundation of Flatlift. First TV lift prototypes are created directly on the basis of LINAK Deskline lifting columns. Already at this time, multi-column setups are tested to ensure high stability and precise guidance.
2006 - Global shipping begins
Flatlift delivers worldwide - right from the start. Furniture makers, architects and project customers from Europe, the USA, Canada and the Middle East put their trust in the combination of LINAK actuator technology and Flatlift mechanics early on.
2006-2008 - Multi-actuator systems ready for series production
Multi-column systems are part of the standard portfolio right from the start. Sascha Rissel develops his own fittings to securely connect LINAK columns to TV brackets. Motorized and manual swivel mechanisms become possible.
2008 - Rotating, swivel & special fittings
Introduction of the first rotating systems - electric & manual. Flat screen televisions can be extended, swiveled or rotated in the furniture.
2011 - High-end contract solutions
Flatlift wins project access in the luxury sector, on yachts, in hotels and premium residences. LINAK impresses in continuous operation with its smooth running and long service life.
2014 - Extended lifting mechanism with four columns
Optimization of multi-column systems for large & heavy displays. Thanks to special fitting geometry, Flatlift doubles the lifting distance - systems reach up to 1300 mm.
2017 - Technology disappears into the room
Development of concealed ceiling and wall solutions. Moving panels & hidden TV become a design category in their own right.
2020 - After-sales worldwide via Lineardirect.eu
Global supply of LINAK spare parts, controls and components. Flatlift becomes central contact for Deskline spare parts & support.
2022 - Large format TV integration
Solutions for 85-98 inch displays. Multi-column systems become the foundation of large panel & conference technology.
2023 - The 7 meter moving panel of the Federal Press Conference
One of the most visible projects in the company's history. A massive panel wall retracts & reveals 4 large displays - powered by LINAK technology.
Today - World leader for hidden TV & kinetic architecture
Flatlift realizes projects in residential architecture, hotels, authorities & government buildings. LINAK Deskline remains the technical heart muscle - unchanged and reliable for 20 years.
Multi-columns from the start. LINAK since day 1. Flatlift - when invisible technology visibly moves big things.
Als Psychologie-Studentin und Mitarbeiterin im Familienunternehmen unterstütze ich meine Eltern Sascha und Anja Rissel im Bereich Social Media, Content-Erstellung und Blogredaktion. Neben meinem Studium arbeite ich aktiv an der inhaltlichen Aufbereitung unserer Themen und kümmere mich um die Planung, Umsetzung und Pflege unserer Online-Inhalte.
In diesem Blog schreibe ich über Design-, Wohn- und Techniklösungen rund um versteckte Fernseher, moderne Raumkonzepte und intelligente Möbelintegration. Dabei verbinde ich psychologisches Wissen über Wahrnehmung und Wirkung von Räumen mit praxisnahen Anwendungsbeispielen aus unserem Unternehmensalltag.
Sollten Sie Fragen zu unseren Lösungen oder zu konkreten Einsatzmöglichkeiten haben, unterstützt Sie unser Team gerne mit fachkundiger Beratung und individueller Planung.
