can it be used with a drop ceiling?

Probably not. It screws into the ceiling so it will need to anchor to something.

I don't think it will. The Planet rotation will be hampered by the ceiling wall.

I would be hesitant about hang anything from a drop ceiling. I would still try to attach to the actual ceiling with a pole or to a beam. Hope this helps.

Yes. It is very simple to install. I installed it after I put in my drop ceiling.

Actually, the Whisper Lift II can also be used in a drop-down application. We have tested it to run in the fashion and have many customers using it to drop a TV out of the ceiling. Please note, the maximum weight of the TV has to be less than 75lbs to be used in this manner.

It is specifically designed for a drop in ceiling. To mount it otherwise would require some substantial cobbling.

I also did a dropped ceiling. I left 6 1/2" because of the angle the long side had to slide in the hole. The more room you can leave the better.

I would think the answer would depend on the height of the ceiling but in any case I would not recommend it

Yes and no. If by false ceiling you are referring to a drop ceiling with the tiles it could work but you would need to remove a tile and use the above joist to mount against. I would recommend finding something very solid for the top to come in contact with because you have to screw the top up until it is tight and sturdy. Hope this helps. I love mine and them bought a second for my kids bikes. :)

I have not tried it. My guesstimate is that if the ceiling is flat and smooth it could work (light weight items only) worth a try with cautiongood luck

It can, but you might not have enough room in the canopy and may need to place it inside the ceiling next to the mounting bracket. You might have this problem even with downrod as its pretty large.

No, it's structure wouldn't allow that. I think you'd have to build an angled box that provided a level place on the ceiling to mount it.

Yes, I believe it could. There are 3 down rods included with the fan and one of them is very short. I used the longest one, because the ceiling in my family room is 9 ft. high. It's a beautiful fan and I'm very pleased with it.

It would not work best on a sloped ceiling. The pulley system controls both pulleys upon lift.

Yes you can with extension tube. It has a pivoting feature that automatically plums straight down. Easy to mount on sloped ceiling. �

This device could certainly be installed (attached) to a steel frame as long as the steel frame can support the weight. If the "steel frame" you are referencing is the metal structure holding up the drop ceiling panels then the answer is no.

I imagine you could mount to a dropped ceiling tile if you distribute the weight. I would use a 1x1 piece of wood the same length of the tile distribute the weight. No problems so far with the backup battery.

It is very light and I believe could easily be mounted to or above a drop ceiling.
