Overview

The Chief CMS060 is a fixed extension column designed to lower projectors or flat panel displays up to 60 inches from the ceiling. It is ideal for spaces with high ceilings such as auditoriums, atriums, and large conference rooms where achieving the right viewing height is essential. Constructed from aluminum, this column balances lightweight handling with the strength to support equipment weighing up to 500 pounds, making installation both manageable and secure.

Its threaded 1.5-inch NPT ends allow seamless attachment to any compatible Chief ceiling plate or accessory, ensuring smooth integration into existing mounting setups. The built-in cable-management port keeps power and signal cables neatly concealed, maintaining a professional and clean appearance in environments like boardrooms, classrooms, and home theaters.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
