opening, the cover catches on the ceiling allowing the springs to hold it tight.
Lift shuts off automatically up and down.
Q. HOW DOES THE LIFT GET LEVEL WITH MY ATTIC FLOOR???
A. There are Four Springs in each of the legs of the Basket that travels Into your attic. The Ceiling Panel closes on the
garage ceiling sheetrock, and the lift continues to travel up through the opening until it is Level with the Attic Floor, at
which time it automatically shuts off. These springs will allow for 20
” depth.
Thus we don’t care if you have 2 x 8’s, 2 x
12’s, or 18” “I” joists, the spring will stretch and hold the cover tight against the ceiling. You can also apply some foam
insulation tape to the lift door to seal it off from really cold climates. You could also drape a blanket or cover over the
lift when in up position to protect the attic or garage from cold air.
