Draper Brings Back Acrobat AV Lift
Posted on Monday, August 11, 2025
Draper Brings Back Acrobat AV Lift

Sometimes an idea is so good it keeps coming back. That’s just what happened with the Draper Acrobat – a utility lineset used to suspend AV products including projection screens from the ceiling.

The 1,000-pound lifting capacity also allows Acrobat to easily handle many different AV and other products, including projection screens, lights, speakers, and LED Video Walls.

“A couple of years ago we decided to phase out the Acrobat and concentrate on other products,” said Jim Hoodlebrink, Consultant Relations and Pro AV Products.” “But time after time, people kept bringing us situations where we would say to ourselves, ‘The Acrobat would be perfect for this’.”

Acrobat’s streamlined design makes it easy to order and install. It can be ordered as a complete assembly or in select sub-assemblies to address unique jobsite requirements. Each Acrobat is made to order with the drive pipe cut to size. Universal mounting brackets can be mounted parallel or perpendicular to steel beams or using 4” diameter steel pipe. Only two cable drops are required when attaching electric projection screens.
