HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
The Four-Fold door moves horizontally rather than vertically, this allows an apparatus to move quickly and safely.
As a result, the door is visible throughout the opening and closing motion allowing the driver to know the precise second the doorway is clear to exit.
It is common with overhead sectional and coiling steel doors for vehicles to begin driving through the door opening after losing sight of the bottom of the door, only to hit the bottom panel as the y move through the opening.
A collision of this type will make it impossible to operate the door (especially with telescoping and coiling steel doors, which cannot tolerate any denting or deforming of the slats).
MANUAL OPERATION
Manual operation is available with the Four-Fold door system. With the simple pull of a cord, manual operation is quick and easy. It requires no springs under tension, time consuming chain hoists, or heavy lifting.
SAFETY FEATURES
Standard features include:
- Fail-safe bump edges that sense obstructions that the photo eye and interior presence sensors may miss.
- Exterior light curtain photo eyes that provide continuous protection from the floor to 72” in height to sense both objects and personnel in that area.
- Torque sensing safety which is compliant with UL 325 safety standards
- UL compliant spacing between all panels and conventional pinch points
Optional features include:
- Center-mounted presence sensor that provides sensing of pedestrians with 3 independent sensing fields for opening and closing
- Audio/Visual warning beacon that provides a horn, strobe, and audible annunciator to provide warning prior to automatic closing and during the opening and closing motion.
MAINTENANCE
Standard preventative maintenance (PM) on Four-Fold doors includes applying grease to hinges and operators. With general yearly PM, Four-Fold door operators and components are designed to perform over 1.5 million cycles. Conventional sectional and coiling doors require constant spring and cable maintenance and replacement to keep them in safe working condition. Failure to keep up with costly PM on sectional and coiling steel doors can result in door failure, which can cause both damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
