MechoShade®’s optional Lift-Assist Mechanism™ (LAM™) enables users to lift heavy,

oversized or multibanded manual shades weighing between 10 and 20 lbs. (4.5 kg
and 9.0 kg) or more. In many cases a shade that formerly required motorization can
now be lifted with the Lift-Assist Mechanism. The Lift-Assist Mechanism can also provide
exceptional lifting capacity for shades less than 10 pounds. An important consideration
for the frail or infirmed.
The LAM system is comprised of a spring assembly inside the shade tube and one
of a wide range of LAM idle-end brackets designed to wind the spring in the proper
direction for regular or reverse roll for both right-hand or left-hand drive. LAM’s are
available for the Mecho®/5 in Wide, Pocket and Extended sizes and the Mecho®
SlimLine™ Bracket.
