Summary: 
A young Austrian company invented a unique bed lift ((inter)nationally patented) to be installed in different sorts of vehicles, boats and tiny houses. Its seven adjustment mechanisms make it a functional & versatile piece of furniture entailing multiple benefits: Thus, e.g. with respect to vehicles, a van can be easily transformed into a camper. In order to sell its innovative product internationally, the SME currently seeks commercial agents & distribution partners in Switzerland and the UK.
Description: 
The innovative start-up situated in Southeast Austria has in-depth knowledge and expertise in the development of versatile camping equipment. Hence, the company's main principle is to invent and design products that are as compact, flexible and practical as possible to optimise the use of rooms and efficiently utilise the available space. The recently developed bed lift for vans, trailers and/or tiny houses for which a(n) (inter-)national patent had been granted follows this philosophy. Due to its free hanging construction the bed lift is highly adjustable and conveys its users the feeling of lying in a hammock. The high-quality bed lift mechanism enables the bed to be adjusted to any desired height, either manually - using a hand crank - or electrically - using a cordless drill. The free hanging construction with its flexible straps further allows to align the bed horizontally, which guarantees a comfortable sleeping position as if you were at home. An additional rope winch even allows to fix the bed to the side walls of a room so as to ensure a peaceful sleep. Thanks to the simple mechanism this can be done at any desired height and inclination. The bed's underside offers creative storage options, thanks to the galvanized steel covers and magnets. Thus, for instance in vans/transporters it is possible to transform the underside of the bed into a bathroom in a few simple steps. The power supply for the LED lights is provided by a spiral cable and can be controlled with the existing cargo space lighting. With the on-board electrical system in a vehicle, the LED lights can be switched on permanently and, if desired, additional electrical components such as a 12V socket can be installed. The bed lift is available in 140 cm and 120 cm width and is compatible with standard mattress sizes (140x200 or 120x200). The mattress disappears almost entirely in the bed frame, so that you gain additional headroom underneath the bed. As the bed is not permanently built into the room, there is no need to typify nor to obtain approval for the product. Thanks to the various mounting brackets the bed lift can be installed in every common transporter and trailer, but the minimum size of the ceiling must be at least 120cm x 230cm. Technical details of the bed lift system: - load-bearing capacity: max. 230 kg - dead weight: 54 kg - LED light: 12V - application areas: vans, trailers, boats, tiny houses, mobile homes, caravans, campers Wishing to cooperate with relevant distribution partners and/or commercial agents in Europe (especially Switzerland and UK), in order to establish an international business, the company primarily seeks to establish agreements with firms active in the automotive and commercial sectors (camping and outdoor).
