EUROFOLD - Folding Lift Shutter

Bolton Gate's Eurofold folding shutters have become the standard in the lift industry for reliability and strength. Their compact folding action ensures that as much of the opening width is utilised - a distinct advantage over sliding doors.

Their double picket construction makes them inherently strong and ideally suited to the needs of cargo lifts, a fact which is borne out by thousands of successful installations worldwide.

STANDARD SPECIFICATION

Gate Frame
Eurofold's extra strength is gained from the gate frame which is formed from unique double channel vertical pickets made from galvanised steel, 1.2mm thick. These are interconnected by 2mm thick galvanised cold formed lattice bars.

The gate frame is top hung from a ball bearing pulley connected to the picket by zinc plated pulley brackets. At the bottom, the frame is fitted with zinc plated bottom guide pieces designed to run in a bottom track.

Leading Edge
Roll-formed galvanised steel 117mm wide prepared for locks, latches or interlock beaks. Number 10 bow handles are fitted as standard.

Shutter Leaves
The shutter leaves are rolled from galvanised steel and are available in the standard width of 152mm with 102, 229 and 305mm versions also available.

Top Track
The standard top track from which the shutter is suspended is constructed from two galvanised steel sections 90mm deep, bolted together to give a strong smooth running section for the shutter thus minimising friction. Only a small amount of headroom is required for the top track and variable packing is provided to allow adjustment in height during longer term service requirements.

Bottom Track
The bottom guide pieces are retained within a 25 x 25mm galvanised steel channel bottom track.

Fire Resistance
Landing doors are supplied in a fire-resisting version when specified. The door has been tested to BS 476 Part 22 1987 for up to four hours fire resistance.

ELECTRICAL OPERATION
All Eurofold doors can be electrically operated using the Mercury drive system via a steel drive chain which is guarded by a galvanised fascia. In the event of power failure, a disconnection to manual operation is included. For added safety, a built in torque limiting device is fitted which stops the door automatically should it meet an obstruction.
