Bed lifting mechanism

Mechanism 1 Bed mechanism complete
From this ..........
............to this


You want a lifting mechanism that will create space to bed space and back again.  The 12V power bed lift has been designed with both form and function in mind.  The slim profile and clean appearance has the safety engineered in, with no pinch points and a catch free design.

At the flick of a switch, the bed is ready to use, simply raise and lower the bed to the desired height, no pins or components to lock into place, set up or store.

The mechanism is safely shrouded in a heavy gauge steel “U” channel framework.  It is tough enough to support 2 queen beds and their occupants, open enough to change the bed configuration with ease.

The chain drive system has the strength to support 270kg dynamic load.  The chain is nickel plated for corrosion resistance and has a food-grade lubricant for cleanliness and safety, thus it makes the power bed lift virtually maintenance free.

The system needs less than 8 amps in the single bed configuration and 12 amps in the bunk mode.  In case of emergency, power can be drawn from a standard power tool battery.

Frequently asked questions:

Q.
How big can the bed base be?
A
The bed base support bracket is 1525 wide and the drive rod is 2225.  This can be altered by cutting the drive rod to the required length.  The rod would need to be cut and welded to the correct length.  Remembering to weld it into the same position as the hexagon shaped rod needs to be lined up with the opposite end.  You will need to purchase R angle steel approximately 50 x 50 x 3mm thick cut to the length of your bed.  Because of the width you will need to support the middle with R angle steel also.  By doing this you require 2 sheets of ply or whatever you choose for your bed base.  If you wish to make the bed width smaller you cut the bed base support bracket to suit.
Q.
How are the vertical legs supported?
A
The legs must be fixed to solid structure to the motorhome in a vertical plumb position - making sure that the legs are parallel with each other.  Legs can be fastened onto structure such as cupboard sides, toilet walls, or any other internal structure available.  If there is not sufficient fixing, support the legs by fastening to solid posts.  These in turn would have to be secured to floor and ceiling.
Q.
How does it operate?
A
A spring switch actives the 12V motor which is mounted at the top end of one set of vertical legs.  The opposite vertical legs are connected by the drive rod.  The whole system is driven by chains.  The wiring diagram is very easy to follow and only needs double cable wire to power the system.
Q.
What height does it come down to?
A
The height is varied to the height of internal furniture eg arm rests of chairs, bench tops etc.  The height can be determined by the individual.  
Q.
How much head height will I loose?
A
If the vertical legs are secured at the highest point, then it is only you mattress thickness that will determine distance from ceiling.  Anything from 200 -300mm.  There are adjustments on travel brackets.
