Spa Cover Lifter | Up to 2800 x 2800mm | One-Person Operation
Getting in and out of your spa shouldn't be a two-person job. This spa cover lifter makes removing and replacing your spa cover a smooth, one-person operation - no straining, no awkward folding, no leaning the cover against the fence. Attach to both sides of your spa, lift, and you're in.
Adjustable to fit spa pools up to 2800 x 2800mm, it suits the vast majority of NZ residential spa pools. Once installed, you'll wonder how you managed without it.
Important: This lifter requires 500-600mm of clearance at the rear of the spa for the cover to fold back fully. Measure your available rear clearance before ordering.
