ASCENT LIFT, from Accuride, is a mechanical lift for televisions up to 14-1/2 lbs., 17-1/2" tall and 22" diagonally.

The lift rises in less than two seconds and does not require power to operate, according to Accuride. The lift's movement is controlled through weights, which are added to counterbalance the screen. The main support column swivels left and right 112.5 degrees to expand viewing angles and the hole pattern provides a wide range of bracket- and screen-mounting options.
