Specification Summary:
The Bolton Gate Company Eurofold folding shutter door has long been established as the standard within the lift industry for strength and reliability.
Coupled with the Bolton Gate Company reputation for long lasting quality engineering the Eurofold’s robust construction makes it the product of choice for cargo lift car and landing doors around the world.
The shallow top track and compact folding action of the door ensures that much of the opening is available for use and thus providing a distinct advantage over sliding panel type doors.
All the necessary testing and design considerations have been undertaken to ensure the door satisfies the requirements of EN81 Part 20 and Part 50 when specified.
Whilst traditionally utilised on goods lifts for supermarkets, shopping malls, retail stores and warehouses the Eurofold Lift Door has been installed on a much broader range of projects both in the UK and around the world including power stations, diamond mines, art galleries and museums.
The remit for it’s use are limitless even to inclusion within the Royal Yacht, QE2, now a floating hotel in Dubai.
The Bolton Gate Company Eurofold Lift Door is a manually operated door system.
Despite it’s heavy duty construction, the sliding folding gate frame allows the door to be pulled or pushed into position with the minimum of effort.
The Eurofold’s intrinsic strength is gained from the rigidity of it’s gate frame which is formed from unique double channel vertical pickets made from 1.2mm thick galvanised steel. These pickets are interconnected by 2mm thick galvanised steel cold rolled lattice bars. The gate frame is top hung from a ball bearing pulley connected to the picket by zinc plated pulley brackets.
Additionally, at the base, the frame is fitted with zinc plated guide pieces designed to engage within the bottom track.
A 127mm wide pressed steel leading edge is provided. This leading edge can be prepared for optional locks, latches or interlock beaks etc. A Number 10 bow handle is fitted as standard for ease of operation.
The shutter leaves are rolled from galvanised steel and are available in a 152mm standard width. A 229mm leaf option is also available.
The shutter is suspended from a top track constructed from two 90mm deep galvanised steel sections bolted together to provide a smooth running carrier for the gate frame. Being compact in design only minimal headroom is required for the top track.
The bottom guide pieces are retained within a 26 x 26mm galvanised steel channel type bottom track.
If existing bottom tracks or cills are to be re-used, specially milled guides can be supplied to suit the existing track dimensions.
Mainly galvanised steel with remaining components finished with a coat of primer paint.
