If you or someone in your family has arthritis, or any disability that limits hand dexterity, a lifting system may be the only way you can raise and lower the blinds and shades. If your window treatments cover cathedral windows, skylights, or any hard-to-reach area, a motorized lifting system enables you to open and close your coverings. Finally, our lifting systems, whether manual or motorized, eliminate cord hazards, a safety advantage if you have small children or pets.

Motorization, remote control and innovative manual lifting systems are available for many Hunter Douglas window treatments. Below is a listing of the different lifting systems we offer. You'll also see the specifics for each individual product inside the Our Products section.

Our lifting systems include:

Motorized options:

• Our PowerRise^® battery-operated, remote control system allows you to raise or lower shades at the touch of a button, thus eliminating the need for cords.
  
  
• PowerGlide^® is a sleek, hand-held remote control for Luminette^® Privacy Sheers.
  
  
• Motorized Simplicity™/Skyrise^® skylight systems are lifting systems specifically manufactured for rectangular windows and especially suited for skylights. Manual systems also available.
  
  
• The PowerTilt™ motorized tilt system easily tilts slats open or closed by remote control. It's a battery-operated, wireless system that controls blinds from up to 25 feet away and can operate three separate window treatments.
  
  
• Motorized Remote Control and Switch Control systems are hard-wired solutions designed for ease of operation and precise control.

Innovative Manual options:

• The UltraGlide^® system uses a single retractable cord mechanism to raise, lower and tilt the shade.
  
  
• Easy Glide^®, with its continuous cord loop and clutch assembly, is the convenient and affordable way to raise and lower larger Brilliance^® pleated shades.
  
  
• The LiteRise^® touch system allows you to raise or lower a blind with a single touch. The blind raises or lowers evenly to the desired position and then holds that position, locking in automatically.
  
  
• The Vertiglide™ vertical pleat system is the ideal choice for side-to-side openings, sliding glass doors or as a room divider.
  
  
• The EasyRise™ continuous cord loop system is the easy way to lift and lower Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades.
  
  
• SoftGlide™ is a clutch-operated, continuous cord system ideally suited for large windows and other difficult-to-lift applications.
  
  
• SoftRise^® is a revolutionary spring-assist clutch system that gently raises the shade to the top of the window, or any point in-between.
  
  
• LiftMaster^® is a continuous cord loop system that provides a mechanical advantage for large and heavy blinds, or difficult-to-lift situations.
  
  
• The PermaTilt^® wand control system combines both tilt and traverse functions in one easy-to-use control, providing a safer environment for children and pets by completely eliminating the standard chain and cord.
  
  
• Vertical blinds outfitted with the PermAssure^® safety wand eliminate looped pull cords completely, replacing them with a wand that remains safely out of a child's reach.
  
  
• Lantana™ is a patented gear-driven system for one-touch control.
  
  
• Palmetto™ is a traditional tilt-bar system that presents a more classic shutter look.
