Granberg CENTERLIFT 6490HA Height Adjustable Kitchen Island Lift Frame – Anthracite Sablé

Granberg CENTERLIFT 6490HA Height Adjustable Kitchen Island Lift Frame – Anthracite Sablé (YW359F)

The Granberg CENTERLIFT 6490HA is a heavy-duty motorised lifting system for creating a bespoke height-adjustable kitchen island with storage on one side and open knee space on the other.

Designed for accessible and inclusive kitchens, the system allows the complete island worktop, cabinets and associated furniture to move together through a 400 mm height range, creating a comfortable working height for standing and seated users.

The CENTERLIFT 6490HA is supplied as the lifting system rather than a complete finished kitchen island. This gives kitchen manufacturers, cabinet makers, contractors and designers the freedom to integrate their own cabinets, fronts, worktops, sinks and appliances around the Granberg lifting frame.

The system can be integrated with kitchens from virtually any kitchen manufacturer and is particularly suited to bespoke accessible kitchen projects where both generous storage and wheelchair-accessible knee space are required.

The Anthracite version is finished in AkzoNobel Sablé powder coating (code YW359F), providing a dark, textured finish that coordinates with a wide range of kitchen furniture and worktop décors.

Important: This product is supplied as the CENTERLIFT lifting system. Kitchen cabinets, decorative furniture panels, worktops, sinks, taps and appliances are not included unless specifically stated.

Designed for Accessible Kitchen Islands

CENTERLIFT 6490 combines two different working zones within the same island. One side can accommodate storage cabinets, while the opposite side remains open to provide knee space for seated working.

The complete island raises and lowers electrically, allowing users of different heights and abilities to share the same preparation, cooking or washing area.

This makes the CENTERLIFT particularly suitable for accessible domestic kitchens, occupational therapy projects, adapted housing, care environments and bespoke commercial installations.

Available Widths

The CENTERLIFT 6490HA is available in multiple frame widths from 990 mm to 3290 mm in 100 mm increments, allowing the island to be configured to suit different kitchen layouts and project requirements.

The selected frame width forms the basis for the associated cabinetry, end panels and worktop dimensions. We will contact you before manufacture to confirm the thickness of the decorative end panel being fitted at each end of the lift. The worktop must cover the top of both end panels, so the finished worktop width will be confirmed once these details have been agreed.

Height Adjustment

• Adjustment type: Motorised and stepless
• Vertical adjustment range: 400 mm
• Frame height excluding worktop: 700–1100 mm
• Lifting speed: 20 mm/sec
• Maximum lifting force: 400 kg

Open Knee-Space Design

The open side of the CENTERLIFT provides dedicated knee clearance for seated users and wheelchair users.

The aluminium structure on this side has a low front profile, helping retain usable clearance beneath the worktop while allowing the complete island to move vertically.

• Front height on open side: 103 mm
• Open knee-space side suitable for seated working
• Optional furniture and drawer solutions can be incorporated where appropriate

Cabinet & Storage Side

The opposite side of the lifting system can accommodate kitchen cabinets and storage, allowing the island to retain practical everyday storage while remaining fully height adjustable.

Because the cabinets move with the lifting frame, storage remains integrated with the island throughout its full adjustment range.

Safety System

Integrated safety switches help protect the user and surrounding furniture during height adjustment.

• Safety protection beneath the cabinet section
• Safety protection beneath the front of the knee-space section
• Movement stops if the safety system comes into contact with an obstruction

Controls

A control button on the cabinet side is supplied as standard.

A control for the knee-space side can be selected separately where control from both sides of the island is required.

Additional compatible Granberg control accessories may also be specified depending on the project requirements.

Electrical & Plumbing Connections

• Electrical connection: 2 x 230 V plugs
• Maximum electrical load: 5 A
• Motor and electronics system: Plug & Play
• Plumbing connections: Flexible hoses
• Protection class: IP20

Optional Made-to-Measure Laminate Worktops

A custom-made Granberg laminate worktop can be purchased with the CENTERLIFT 6490HA lifting system as part of your selected set. The M-BSC range offers 30 mm thick worktops in finished depths from 901 mm to 1200 mm, with the length made to suit the agreed island dimensions.

Choose from seven modern, stylish and practical décors for this product:

• White K1040 UN
• White laminate
• Grey Dust
• Lava Dust
• Virrvarr Antracit
• Svartvit Granit
• Block Board Beech

Each worktop is made to order to the confirmed dimensions and finishing specification. Your selected worktop is an optional addition to the lifting system and is only included where specified in your order.

Custom-made worktops are non-returnable and non-refundable once manufacturing has started, except where faulty or not made to the agreed specification. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

Worktop Planning

The finished worktop dimensions are determined by the selected CENTERLIFT frame and the furniture panels being fitted. We will contact you to confirm the thickness of the end panel at each end of the lift before finalising the worktop width and authorising manufacture.

• Finished worktop width: Lift width + thickness of the left end panel + thickness of the right end panel
• The worktop covers the top of both end panels, with its ends flush with their outer faces unless a different overhang is agreed
• Worktop depth: 1106 mm lift depth + thickness of front cover + required overhang

The final worktop depth and edge specification will also be agreed before manufacture. Please provide your kitchen drawings and end-panel details so that the worktop can be coordinated with the complete island.

The generous frame depth allows the island to be designed around preparation areas, suitable sinks, compatible cooking appliances and storage according to the requirements of the individual project.

Cover Panels

A cover panel can be used on the open side to conceal services and installations beneath the worktop.

• Cover panel width: Corresponding to lift width
• Cover panel height: 510 mm
• Suitable panel thickness: 12–20 mm

What is the height adjustment range?

The lifting frame adjusts steplessly through 400 mm, from 700 mm to 1100 mm above floor level excluding the worktop.

What is the maximum lifting capacity?

The CENTERLIFT 6490HA has a maximum lifting force of 400 kg.

Does the island have a safety system?

How is the finished worktop width confirmed?

We will contact you to confirm the thickness of the end panels being fitted at both ends of the lift. The worktop covers the top of these panels, so their combined thickness is included when confirming the finished worktop width.
