Most of the LIFT-ette's mechanics are different from other units currently available. The lifting mechanisms, a double row ball screw, is secure at the bottom via a flexible mount bearing, and at the top by a self-centering high quality bearing, which also supports the driven pulley. The motor, brake, solenoid and controller are all located at the top of the tower to make servicing the unit easier. Access is gained through a removable access panel located toward the top of the tower front panel.

The guiding system is one of the more important innovations. Support for the tower and guiding is accomplished through four, round vertical members, two per side. There are no rolling members. The typical guide wheels have been replaced with four side blocks per side.

The side plates house the dual broken screw safety. This safety is unique to lifts of this type. If there should be a failure of the screw, nut, or other part of the lifting mechanism which should cause a decrease in tension on a sensing plate, the safety dogs will engage the vertical supports, hold the platform, and disconnect power to the motor.

All LIFT-ettes feature removable tower base legs. With the legs in place, the tower is approximately 40' wide. When removed, the tower is only 24" wide, which allows the unit to pass through a normal doorway. In addition to strut supports, eight-, ten- and twelve-foot units have brackets for attaching the tower to a structure.

LIFT-ette's control station features a key-switch, an up/down paddle switch, emergency stop control and an alarm.
