BannerDrop® FAQs

How much does the BannerDrop® weigh?

How is the BannerDrop® built?
The machines consist of a tubular motor inserted into an aluminum tube and a mechanical system that controls galvanized steel cable coiling upon the tube. All of this is enclosed into a 5" x 5" x 48" Aluminum Pocket.

A Heavy Duty model is available that can lift 140 libs.

Battery-Operated machines are available as well, but are limited to a 15 lb. lifting capacity.

How is a banner attached to the BannerDrop®?
Two cables hang down from the unit to connect to the banner or poster. The unit will come with a standard aluminum extrusion which accepts a 1/4" diameter dowel rod inserted into pocket at the top edge of the banner.

How do you control the BannerDrop®?
The units are operated with a small handheld RF Transmitter similar to a garage door opener.  Top limits, bottom limits and one pre-set display height can be programmed and pre-set.
