ultimateaccesscase

Draper Inc. (C8725) Last year Draper redesigned their Access/Series E and V screens with a steel case, and also introduced a smaller case version called the Access FIT. This year they’ve expanded those improvements into larger Access XL screens. The XL now includes the same re-engineered Access bottom closure panel which is easier to attach, and has an improved overall engagement with the screen housing. An improved “T” bracket engagement allows the panel to hinge downward for service, eliminating the need to make extra trips up and down the ladder carrying the closure. The XL case also includes removable hoisting brackets to make it easier to use block and tackle or a winch to lift the screen out of the shipping carton and into the final mounting location. Many of those same improvements have also been carried over to the Ultimate Access/Series E and V. In addition, improvements to internal components enabled Draper to create the all-new, larger Ultimate Access XL, which is available up to 22 feet wide. The newly redesigned Ultimate Access and Ultimate Access XL retain a separately motorized trap door which opens up into the case, a unique feature among recessed screens.
