55″–75″ Motorised TV Lift – 1300mm Travel (SMLFT-S1300)

55″–75″ Motorised TV Lift – 1300mm Travel (SMLFT-S1300)

The SureMount SMLFT-S1300 Motorised TV Lift is the largest lift in the SMLFT range, designed for discreetly concealing and smoothly raising medium to large televisions from custom-built cabinetry.

With a generous 1300mm of vertical travel, the SMLFT-S1300 is particularly well suited to larger TVs and installations where additional lift height is required. It is ideal for home theatres, living areas, bedrooms, boardrooms, bars and entertainment spaces, as well as custom motorhome and marine installations.

Powered by a strong 1000N actuator, the lift provides smooth, quiet operation at less than 50dB and travels at approximately 30mm per second. It supports TVs weighing up to 80kg when floor mounted, with VESA mounting patterns from 200×200mm through to 600×400mm.

Control is simple using the included wireless remote or wired RJ45 control panel, while programmable height limits allow the upper and lower stopping positions to be set to suit your installation. The SMLFT-S1300 also supports voltage-free dry-contact control, allowing integration with compatible home automation systems, AV control systems, relays and external momentary switches.

For even greater flexibility, the optional SMLFT-SWIVEL manual swivel conversion kit allows the raised television to rotate manually through up to 360°.

📌 Important Note:
⚠️ Cabinet not included. A custom cabinet must be built by your cabinet maker or builder to suit your TV and installation.

🏠 Dry Contact / Home Automation Control

The SMLFT-S1300 can be controlled using voltage-free dry-contact inputs, allowing it to be integrated with compatible home automation systems, AV controllers, relays or external momentary switches.

This allows an automation system to operate the lift UP or DOWN without relying on the supplied wireless remote.

🔌 RJ45 Dry Contact Connections

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

Operation is achieved by making a momentary contact between UP and COMMON or DOWN and COMMON.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: DRY CONTACT ONLY — DO NOT APPLY EXTERNAL VOLTAGE.

This feature makes the SMLFT-S1300 particularly suitable for integrated home theatres, boardrooms and automated entertainment systems where the television lift can form part of a larger AV or home-automation sequence.

---

🔄 Optional Manual Swivel Upgrade (SMLFT-SWIVEL)

Add even more flexibility with the optional 360° manual swivel conversion kit.

Once the television has been raised, it can be manually rotated through up to 360°, allowing the screen to be directed towards different viewing positions.

✔ Manual 360° swivel rotation
✔ Maximum TV weight with swivel: 60kg
✔ Adds approximately 47mm to the overall lift height
✔ Ideal for open-plan living areas, bars, meeting rooms and multi-purpose spaces
✔ Suitable for floor-mounted lifts only

⚠️ The SMLFT-SWIVEL cannot be used when the lift is ceiling mounted.

✔ Maximum TV weight: 80kg
✔ Compatible with optional swivel kit
✔ Ideal for cabinetry and entertainment-unit installations

⬇️ Ceiling Mounting

The SMLFT-S1300 can also be configured for ceiling mounting, allowing a television to lower from a purpose-built ceiling enclosure or overhead structure.

✔ Maximum TV weight: 60kg
✔ Suitable for specialised residential and commercial installations

⚠️ The supporting structure must be capable of safely carrying the lift and television.

⚠️ The SMLFT-SWIVEL cannot be used when ceiling mounted.

🧮 TV Lift Height Calculator

Use our TV Lift Height Measurement Calculator to help determine which SureMount lift is suitable for your television and how the TV will sit when installed.

The calculator can help determine:

✔ Which SMLFT model best suits your TV
✔ Approximate height of the TV when lowered
✔ How far the television will sit above the lift tower
✔ Approximate clearance below the television
✔ The effect of adding the optional swivel conversion kit

⚠️ Important: Calculations are based on average TV dimensions and assume the mounting holes are approximately centred vertically on the television. Some TVs have their VESA mounting points positioned closer to the bottom of the screen, which will cause the TV to sit higher.

Always check the actual television dimensions before cabinetry is manufactured.

---

⚠️ Safety Warning – Keep Clear While Operating

The SMLFT-S1300 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 be designed to provide appropriate clearances around all moving components.

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

💡 Installer Tips

🔧 Design the cabinet around the actual television
Don’t rely solely on the advertised screen size. Two 75″ TVs can have different overall dimensions and mounting-hole positions.

📏 Check the VESA mounting-hole position
If the mounting holes are positioned towards the bottom of the TV, the television will sit higher on the lift.

↕️ Allow for the full lift movement
Ensure the TV, mounting rails, cables and lift tower have adequate clearance throughout the required travel.

🔌 Allow sufficient cable movement
Power, HDMI and other cables must have enough free length to move with the television without stretching, snagging or becoming trapped.

🪵 Plan the cabinet opening carefully
The television must have sufficient clearance to pass freely through the cabinet opening.

🏠 Planning home automation?
Run the required control wiring during construction. The SMLFT-S1300’s dry-contact inputs can then be connected to compatible automation or AV-control equipment.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — SMLFT-S1300

1️⃣ Will this lift work with my TV?

Check three main things:

📺 Screen size: Designed primarily for 55″–75″ TVs
⚖️ Weight: Up to 80kg when floor mounted
📐 VESA pattern: 200×200mm to 600×400mm

Screen size is a guide. The actual weight, overall dimensions and VESA mounting pattern of the television are the important factors.

---

2️⃣ How far does the lift travel?

The SMLFT-S1300 provides 1300mm of vertical travel.

📏 Retracted tower height: 907mm
📏 Fully extended height: 2207mm

---

3️⃣ Can I set where the lift stops?

Yes.

↕️ The lift has programmable minimum and maximum height limits, allowing you to determine where the lift stops at both ends of its movement.

This is particularly useful when the installation does not require the complete 1300mm of available travel.

---

4️⃣ Can I connect the lift to a home automation system?

Yes.

🏠 The SMLFT-S1300 supports voltage-free dry-contact control for integration with compatible home automation systems, AV controllers, relays and external switches.

🔌 UP: Green/White stripe
🔌 DOWN: Solid Brown
🔌 COMMON: Orange/White stripe

⚠️ Dry contact only. Do not apply external voltage.

---

5️⃣ Can the SMLFT-S1300 be ceiling mounted?

Yes.

⬇️ The lift can be configured for ceiling mounting, but the maximum television weight is reduced to 60kg.

The supporting structure must also be capable of safely supporting the complete lift and television assembly.

⚠️ The optional swivel kit cannot be used when ceiling mounted.

---

6️⃣ Is there a swivel option?

Yes.

🔄 The optional SMLFT-SWIVEL conversion kit allows the television to be manually rotated through up to 360° once raised.

⚖️ Maximum TV weight with swivel: 60kg
📏 Adds approximately 47mm to the overall lift height

---

---

8️⃣ How fast does the lift move?

⚡ The lift travels at approximately 30mm per second.

Using the complete 1300mm travel, a full movement takes approximately 43 seconds.

---

9️⃣ Does the lift include a cabinet?

No.

🪵 The cabinet is not included. The SMLFT-S1300 is designed to be incorporated into custom cabinetry built specifically for your TV and installation.

Your cabinet maker or builder can therefore design the unit to suit the room, television and required finish.

---

🔟 Can I use a 75″ TV?

Yes.

📺 The SMLFT-S1300 is designed to accommodate many 75″ televisions, provided the TV remains within:

⚖️ 80kg maximum weight when floor mounted
