Have you ever noticed how in home magazines you never see appliances on the kitchen counter tops or center islands. That's right the toaster, blender, kettle and so on are all taken out of the frame before those pictures are taken to give the kitchen that fresh brand new clean look. Uncluttered, no wires, simple and fresh is what publishers and photographers are looking for when it comes to that photo shoot.

Well now thanks to linear Actuator technology, a motorized electronic kitchen appliance lift system is now available for your home. And not only can these lift systems lift heavy appliances out of cabinets, but they can also drop them downwards for those people that want the appliance hidden away higher up and dropped down into view when required.

 A kitchen appliance lift system is a column lift actuator thats used to lift up and down a cabinet or drawer that sits vertical inside a cabinet, that when energised the lift system drops down or up the drawer or cabinet into view.  Appliances are placed inside these drawers or cabinets so that they are readily available for use, but then at the click of a button, hidden away out of sight when not required, leaving the kitchen to look clean and tidy.  Typically if installing a brand new kitchen you would work with the cabinet maker of the kitchen to tell them what type and size of garage appliance you wish you have.  The thing to remember is that when the cabinet lift is closed it consumes space inside the main cabinet still. So in the case of the picture below you can see that drawers are not as deep as regular drawers because the appliance garage lift consumes some of the space  when its is lowered back down into the main cabinet.
