Co-Lift DLX Side Mount
Product Overview
A proven choice for hot tub owners who need a durable, side-mounted cover lifter that handles heavy covers without bending.
The Co-Lift DLX Side Mount from Life Essentials is a standard specification for square or rectangular hot tubs up to 96 inches.

Unlike generic alternatives, this model includes non-corrosive composite mounting brackets and foam protectors on the top rail to prevent cover wear.

Minimal Clearance Requirements
This side-mount design is ideal for tight spaces, requiring only 14 inches of clearance behind the spa and 5 inches on each side for full operation.
Corrosion-Resistant Hardware
Utilizing stainless steel hardware and plastic encapsulated pivots, this lifter is designed to withstand the high-humidity environment of a hot tub area.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Technicians often check the safety locking pin during routine maintenance to ensure it engages smoothly, as this prevents the cover from accidentally closing during high winds or while the tub is in use.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much space do I need behind my hot tub for the Co-Lift DLX?

Can this lifter handle a heavy, water-saturated hot tub cover?
Yes, the Co-Lift DLX is engineered to hold weight up to 200lbs, which is significantly higher than many entry-level lifters that often fail when covers gain weight from moisture absorption.

This lifter is designed to fit most square or rectangular hot tubs up to 96 inches in width, making it a versatile option for standard residential spa models.
