Looking to get the most out of your Lift Mate system? Adding an additional limit switch sensor is a simple but powerful upgrade that unlocks full-range automation and smoother operation.
Every Lift Mate unit comes standard with one limit switch sensor that helps detect the storage position. This sensor enables the “down to service position” feature—perfect for bringing your lift to a convenient, accessible level for maintenance or use.
However, if you want to take full control of both lift directions, adding a second proximity limit switch is the way to go. Installed at the lower limit position, this sensor activates the “up to service position” feature, giving you hands-free operation from bottom to top with precision and ease.
It’s important to understand that these devices are not mechanical limit switches themselves. Instead, they’re smart limit sensors that work in conjunction with your existing limit switches—acting as a bridge between mechanical movement and electronic control. They “tell” your Lift Mate when a limit has been reached, ensuring safer, more accurate motion.
If you're operating in a marine environment, the boat limit switch sensor is especially valuable. Whether you’re lifting a boat for storage or maintenance, this sensor helps automate the process, reduce wear on your system, and improve safety.
