If you’re an experienced weaver you already know that weaving ain’t for sissies. In fact, weaving is probably the most repetitive and physically demanding of all the crafts. It’s not much of a problem when you’re twenty; but, if you’re someone with a million lifts behind you, chances are your knees are beginning to protest. At AVL we look for ways to take the strain out of weaving, because contrary to the old adage, we just don’t believe you should suffer for your art.

Consider our pain-saver, the AVL E-Lift II. It’s an electrically powered workhorse that raises your harnesses for you. So, even when confronted with what would ordinarily be a treadle-grinding, joint-wrenching, twenty-four-shaft lift, you simply touch your toes to a switch and up-go-your-shafts / down-go-your-shafts. Touch the switch again; up-they-go / down-they-go. Or, if you like, select a one-touch open-close-open pattern. It’s really that simple, that easy, and that effortless. The E-Lift II is quiet, and compact, and because we designed the system around newly available components, it’s more capable and -- amazingly -- more affordable than our earlier power harness systems. In fact, at $2,614.00 the new AVL E-Lift II costs nearly 35% less than its predecessor, the E-Lift I.

Don’t let the strain of lifting harnesses drive you away from weaving. Call (800) 626-9615 ext. 236/+1.530.893-4915 ext. 236 or e-mail AVL today for more information about the new E-Lift II -- And remember, the only part of the loom we can’t replace, is you!
