CONCORDVILLE, Pa. — Southco will present a product information session on its newly acquired Lift-A-Syst product line at the 2016 International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta, on Thursday, August 25 at 11:30a.m at the Technology Theater.

"Take the Effort Out of Lifting Flip-Up Countertops will be presented by Southco’s own Lou Mintzer, Business Development Manager, CounterBalance, who will also exhibit at Booth# 2824, Building A, from August 24-27.

 

Southco acquired CounterBalance Corporation, a U.S.-based manufacturer of modular torsion spring systems, in February 2016, adding the Lift-A-Syst series to its portfolio of access hardware solutions. The Lift-A-Syst Series is designed to make flip-up counter applications safe and reliable by neutralizing the weight of the countertop and providing motion control for opening and closing. 

 

Southco’s Lift-A-Syst units are engineered specifically for controlling the exact weight of heavy flip-up countertops weighing up to 150 lbs and offer a tested, repeatable cycle life validated for 100k cycles of operation. With a low profile, one-piece design and aluminum and stainless steel construction, the Lift-A-Syst series provides a robust solution that can be easily mounted to a variety of countertops, including quartz, granite, marble, wood and metal.

 

“Lift-A-Syst provides precise control of heavy countertops by neutralizing the weight,  allowing the user a level of control not found or provided by any other hardware manufacturer,” said Mintzer. “With our Lift-A-Syst series, there is no risk of performance decreasing over time, even when exposed to fluctuations in temperature or the harsh environments of institutional, industrial, commercial and hospitality installations.”

 

Southco is the leading and trusted global source for engineered access hardware solutions, including a variety of latches, locks, captive fasteners, quick access fasteners, hinges, handles, inserts, electronic access solutions, and other accessories for applications in the networking, telecommunications, computer, automotive, aerospace, mass transit, off-highway/construction, RV/caravan, industrial machinery, marine and HVAC industries. www.southco.com
