- Tracked gear offers smoother operation with lower maintenance and is ideal for electric operators.
- All doors over 2438mm (8' 0") wide are supplied on tracked gear.
- All doors supplied with Maxi-mizer Double or Heavy Gear depending on the size of the garage door.
- Wessex tracked door gear should be fitted to weather beaded 70mm x 70mm (2' 3/4" x 2' 3/4") standard timber goalpost frame (not supplied).
- Alternatively Maxi-mizer gear may be fitted to a Wessex quick-fit steel tracked frame - 68mm (2' 2/3") wide by 60mm (2' 1/2") deep all round.
- Doors supplied with double or heavy gear can also be supplied with an optional steel frame kit not pre-fitted to the door. Dimensions: 68mm (2' 2/3") wide x 75mm (3") deep.
NOTES
- In use, lifting gear reduces drive through width by up to 130mm (5' 1/4").
- With Maxi-mizer gear there is no reduction in the drive-through width up to 1048mm (3' 5. 1/4") from the ground on 1981mm (6' 6") high doors (1200mm (3' 1. 1/4") on 2134mm (7' 0") high doors.
- IF DRIVE THROUGH CLEARANCE IS CRITICAL, PLEASE TELEPHONE FOR HELP.
FITTING FRAMES TO THE BRICKWORK
- Frames may be fitted within or behind the brickwork as per the drawings shown. Fitting behind the brickwork, if the garage length allows, will increase drive through width by up to 114mm (4'.1/2")
- A 20mm x 20mm (4/5" x 4/5") weather bead should be fitted to the underside of the door frame lintel in front of the door. This feature is integral on the Wessex steel frame
