42″–65″ Motorised TV Lift – 1000mm Travel (SMLFT-S1000)

SureMount 42″–65″ Motorised TV Lift – 1000mm Travel (SMLFT-S1000)

The SureMount SMLFT-S1000 Motorised TV Lift provides a clean and discreet way to conceal your television inside custom cabinetry, then raise it smoothly into viewing position at the touch of a button.

Designed for 42″–65″ TVs, the SMLFT-S1000 provides an impressive 1000mm of vertical travel, extending from 737mm when fully lowered to 1737mm when fully raised. This additional travel makes it particularly well suited to larger televisions and taller cabinetry where greater vertical movement is required.

Its powerful 1000N actuator supports televisions weighing up to 80kg when floor mounted, while providing smooth and quiet operation at less than 50dB.

Control is simple using either the supplied wireless remote control or wired RJ45 control panel. Programmable minimum and maximum height settings allow the lift’s travel to be tailored to your television, cabinetry and preferred viewing position.

The SMLFT-S1000 is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, boardrooms, open-plan spaces and custom furniture installations where the television needs to disappear neatly out of sight when it isn’t being used.

For even greater flexibility, the optional SMLFT-SWIVEL conversion kit allows the raised television to be manually rotated through up to 360°, making it particularly useful where the TV needs to serve multiple viewing areas.

For smaller or larger installations, SureMount also offers the SMLFT-S650 and SMLFT-S1300 motorised TV lifts.

📌 Important Installation Note

⚠️ Cabinetry is not included.

The SMLFT-S1000 is supplied as the motorised TV lift mechanism and control system. A suitable cabinet or enclosure must be designed and constructed by your cabinet maker, builder or installer to suit the dimensions of your television, lift and required movement.

⚠️ Safety Warning – Keep Clear While Operating

The SMLFT-S1000 is a power-operated lifting mechanism. Always keep hands, fingers, clothing and other objects clear of the lift and all moving components while it is operating.

Particular care should be taken when a cabinet lifting plate or lid is attached to the lift, as pinch and crush points can be created between the moving plate, television, lift mechanism and surrounding cabinetry.

✔ Ensure the lift has a clear and unobstructed path of travel before operating.
✔ Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts and closing gaps.
✔ Do not allow children to operate or play around the lift.
✔ Stop operation immediately if the lift or television encounters an obstruction.
✔ Cabinetry should provide appropriate clearance around all moving components.

Never reach into the cabinet or attempt to adjust the television or lift mechanism while the lift is moving.

🔌 Dry Contact / Home Automation Control

The SMLFT-S1000 can also be operated using dry-contact control, allowing the lift to be integrated with compatible home automation, AV control systems, relays or external switches.

The lift is activated by momentarily connecting the appropriate control conductor to the common conductor:

🟢 Green/White stripe — UP
🟤 Solid Brown — DOWN
🟠 Orange/White stripe — COMMON

Operation:

• Connect UP to COMMON to raise the lift.
• Connect DOWN to COMMON to lower the lift.
• No external voltage should be applied to these control wires — they are intended for voltage-free/dry-contact switching only.

⚠️ Important: These wire colours are based on the RJ45 control lead configuration used with the SureMount SMLFT lift system. If using a third-party RJ45 lead or custom wiring, confirm the conductor positions before connection, as cable colour conventions can vary.

🔄 Optional 360° Manual Swivel Upgrade – SMLFT-SWIVEL

Add even more viewing flexibility with the optional SMLFT-SWIVEL 360° Manual Swivel Conversion Kit

Once the television has been raised, the swivel kit allows it to be manually rotated through up to 360°. This is particularly useful in open-plan living areas, bedrooms and commercial spaces where the TV may need to face different viewing positions.

🔄 Up to 360° manual rotation
🏋️ Maximum TV weight with swivel: 60kg
📏 Adds approximately 47mm to overall lift height
🏠 Ideal for open-plan and multi-directional viewing
⬆️ Designed for floor-mounted lift installations

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – SMLFT-S1000

1️⃣ What size TV is the SMLFT-S1000 designed for?

The SMLFT-S1000 is designed for most 42″–65″ televisions with VESA mounting patterns between 200×200mm and 400×400mm.

Some larger televisions may also be suitable provided their weight, VESA mounting pattern and physical dimensions are within the lift’s limits.

2️⃣ How far does the SMLFT-S1000 travel?

The SMLFT-S1000 provides 1000mm of vertical travel.

The tower measures approximately 737mm when fully lowered and extends to approximately 1737mm when fully raised.

3️⃣ How much weight can the SMLFT-S1000 support?

The SMLFT-S1000 supports televisions weighing up to 80kg when floor mounted.

The maximum load is reduced to 60kg when ceiling mounted or when the optional SMLFT-SWIVEL conversion kit is fitted.

4️⃣ Can I set how high and low the TV travels?

Yes.

The SMLFT-S1000 has programmable minimum and maximum height settings, allowing its stopping positions to be tailored to your television and cabinet.

You therefore don’t have to use the entire 1000mm travel range if your installation doesn’t require it.

5️⃣ How is the TV lift controlled?

The SMLFT-S1000 includes both a wireless remote control and wired RJ45 control panel.

It can also be configured for dry-contact up/down control, making it suitable for integration with compatible home-automation and AV control systems.

6️⃣ Can the television swivel?

Yes.

The optional SMLFT-SWIVEL conversion kit allows the television to be manually rotated through up to 360° after it has been raised.

When the swivel kit is installed:

🔄 Rotation: Up to 360°
🏋️ Maximum TV weight: 60kg
📏 Additional lift height: Approximately 47mm
⬆️ Installation: Floor mounted only

7️⃣ Can the SMLFT-S1000 be ceiling mounted?

Yes.

The SMLFT-S1000 can be installed in a ceiling-mounted configuration, with a maximum TV weight of 60kg.

⚠️ The optional SMLFT-SWIVEL cannot be used with a ceiling-mounted installation.

8️⃣ Is the lift noisy?

No.

The actuator operates at less than 50dB, providing smooth and relatively quiet operation suitable for bedrooms, living areas, offices and meeting rooms.

9️⃣ Does the SMLFT-S1000 include a cabinet?

No.

The SMLFT-S1000 is supplied as the motorised lift mechanism and control system only.

The surrounding cabinet or enclosure should be custom-designed by your cabinet maker, builder or installer to accommodate your television and provide sufficient clearance throughout the complete range of movement.

🔟 What safety precautions should I take when operating the lift?

Always keep hands, fingers, clothing and other objects clear of the lift while it is moving.

Extra care is required where the lift operates a cabinet lifting plate or lid, as the moving components can create pinch or crush points as the TV enters or leaves the cabinet.

Always ensure the lift has a clear path before operating it.

1️⃣1️⃣ Which SureMount lift should I choose if I need less or more travel?

For smaller televisions and installations requiring less travel, consider the SMLFT-S650, which provides 650mm of movement.

For larger televisions and installations requiring greater travel, the SMLFT-S1300 provides 1300mm of movement.
