Specification/construction

The FTS electric folding door with rigid door panels consists of one or two door leaves, a stable upper beam, on which the electric drive unit is mounted. Each door leaf is built up of two frames made of tubular sections. These frames can be infilled with various materials. On the closing side the door leaves are connected to the guide rail of the upper beam by means of a sliding trolley. This heavy-duty trolley has PVC guide rollers, thus ensuring extremely smooth and low-noise operation of the door.
