Configure Your Lifting Column System

Build your setup around the number of columns your project requires. Compatible LG modular lifting columns can be configured in systems with one to four legs using an appropriate FLTCON control box and compatible remote.

Select your column model, number of legs, control box, and remote together. Check compatibility and the components included in your configuration before ordering.

Lifting Columns for Furniture and Workstations

Add powered height adjustment to custom tables, concealed furniture, and workstations. Compare retracted height and mounting dimensions for installations with limited space, and check the extended height and travel distance against your project requirements.

Explore the LG-11 for a compact retracted height or the LG-13 for a slim column profile.

Heavy-Duty Lifting Columns

For heavier platforms and equipment, compare the LG-03 and LG-07, each rated for up to 440 lbs of lifting force per column, or the LG-12, rated for up to 1,300 lbs per column.

Select a system based on the complete moving load, load distribution, mounting arrangement, and control compatibility. Confirm the required capacity for your installation before ordering.

Modular Configurations

Choose a compatible configuration with one, two, three, or four columns. Match your FLTCON control box to the selected column model and number of legs.

Compatible Remote Options

Choose from compatible wired remotes and supported wireless options for your control system. Features such as memory presets and travel limits depend on the remote and control box selected.

Lifting Capacity for Your Project

Compare model-specific lifting capacities, from 67 lbs per column for the LG-14 to 1,300 lbs per column for the LG-12.

Check the complete system requirements, including load distribution and mounting, before choosing a configuration.

What is an electric lifting column?

An electric lifting column is a motor-driven telescopic unit that raises and lowers a supported structure. Its extending sections provide guided vertical movement for adjustable-height furniture, workstations, and custom lifting systems.

How do I choose the right lifting column?

Start with the total moving load, including the platform or tabletop and everything it supports. Compare lifting capacity, retracted and extended heights, travel distance, mounting dimensions, speed, and duty cycle. Then confirm the compatible controls and number of columns required for your setup.

Can multiple lifting columns move together?

Yes. Compatible LG modular lifting columns can operate synchronously using an appropriate FLTCON control box and compatible remote. Choose the control box for your column model and number of legs, and follow the installation and reset instructions for the complete system.

Can I use lifting columns for custom furniture?

Yes. Lifting columns can provide height adjustment for custom tables, concealed furniture, and other supported structures. Check the available installation space, required travel, load distribution, and mounting arrangement before selecting a model.

What is the lifting capacity of your columns?

Capacity varies by model. The LG-14 is rated for 67 lbs per column, while the LG-12 provides up to 1,300 lbs per column. Check each product’s specifications and confirm the complete system’s capacity before ordering. Multiple-column installations also require appropriate controls and load distribution.

What control box and remote do I need?

The required controls depend on your column model and the number of legs in your system. Compatible LG modular columns use FLTCON-series control boxes with compatible remotes. Review the selected configuration to confirm which components are included.

Can I use third-party controls or remotes?

Compatibility with third-party equipment is not guaranteed. Connectors, pin assignments, and control requirements may differ. Contact our technical team before connecting a lifting column to a third-party control system.

How many lifting columns do I need?

Choose the number and placement of columns based on your surface size, total moving load, load distribution, and mounting structure. A wide workbench and a compact central platform have different support requirements. Confirm the complete system design rather than selecting column count from weight alone.

Which FLTCON control box should I choose?

Choose a controller with the required number of channels, then confirm it supports your exact column model and power source. FLTCON models require programming for the connected product before shipping. Review the FLTCON channel configurations and complete the programming form on the selected controller’s product page.

Setup and Troubleshooting

How do I set the maximum/minimum heights for my Lifting Column setup?

NOTE: The steps below may vary depending on the remote model that you have. The following instructions were made for the popular RT-11 remote. To set the maximum height for your system, go to the desired height you would like to set and follow the steps below:

1. Press M and see [5 -] indicated on the display

2. Press the UP button and notice [5 -] blinks

3. Hold the M button until you see [999] on the display

4. The maximum height has now been set

To set the minimum height for your system, go to the desired height you would like to set and follow the steps below:

1. Press M and see [5 -] indicated on the display

2. Press the DOWN button and notice [5 -] blinks

3. Hold the M button until you see [000] on the display

4. The minimum height has now been set

To reset the limits, follow the steps below:

1. Press M and see [5 -] indicated on the display and release

2. Hold the M you see [555]

3. Limits have been reset

I have to hold down the remote buttons to get to my pre-set height. Is there a way to do this with only one press?

NOTE: The steps below may vary depending on the remote model you have. The following instructions were made for the standard RT-11 remote.

If you have to hold down the remote’s buttons to get to your pre-set height, this means that your control box is in momentary control. To set your remote to non-momentary mode, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure that there is nothing underneath your system, as we must enter the reset procedure

2. Press and hold the DOWN button until the display shows [ASr]

3. Once [ASr] is shown, press and hold down [1] and you may see two values:

a. 10.1 = Non-momentary Mode

b. 10.2 = Momentary Mode

4. Complete the reset procedure by holding the DOWN button until your system slightly lowers and rises.

My remote is showing an error code on the display? What should I do?

We have some troubleshooting steps for you to take if you see any of the following error codes on the remotes that come with an LED display.

How to Select and Install Your Lifting Columns

Check the required lifting force

Include the tabletop or platform, equipment, and working load. Compare the required lifting force with the selected model’s rating and account for uneven load distribution.

Check the installed height range

Confirm that the retracted and extended positions fit your installation. Allow for the base, mounting hardware, and surface thickness.

Confirm the mounting arrangement

Review the model’s drawings and mounting dimensions against your structure. Column placement and load distribution affect the requirements of a multi-column installation.

Connect and initialize the system

Follow the installation manual and wiring diagram for your selected columns, controller, and remote. Complete the specified reset procedure before operating the system.

FLTCON control systems

Choosing a FLTCON Control Box for Lifting Columns

Our FLTCON control boxes operate compatible 24 VDC lifting columns with Hall effect feedback. Multi-channel models use that feedback to synchronize matching columns. Select the controller for your column model, number of legs, and available input power.

FLTCON control boxes require programming for the connected product model before shipping. Confirm your column model, current requirements, connections, and input voltage through the programming form on the controller product page. For a two-column system powered by 24 VDC, review the FLTCON-2-24VDC.

Choose Your Remote

The RT-11 wired remote provides four memory positions with compatible FLTCON controls. Save frequently used working heights, then return to them from the handset. Other remote features depend on the model selected.
