Durable drive
solution for sliding doors | |||||
ST drives are available in sizes from 90Nm to 800Nm, allowing doors
weighing up to a massive eight tonnes to be driven. Ideal applications
would be aircraft hanger doors, extra large loading bay doors and
supermarket delivery gates.
The ST drive links seamlessly with
additional equipment to enhance door performance and security. It can be
used alongside an external inverter to increase the speed of operation. An
electro-magnetic brake can also be fitted. This gives added security to
premises as it locks the door and drive unit in the position you require
and prevents the door from being manually pushed open.
You
can download the ST Drive datasheet
here. For technical support and
advice on the right drives to suit your application please contact our
technical sales team on 01926 452452.

GfA
has been chosen by Travis Perkins plc, the UK’s leading supplier of
building materials, to support a major review of roller shutters and
overhead sectional doors across a large swathe of its 2,000-unit
estate.
GfA is sole drives and controls supplier for the review. Gary Soars,
who is managing the project for Travis Perkins plc, said: "We wanted to specify
a reliable product for our upgrade programme. We chose GFA
because of their reputation as the leader within the door
industry. GFA not only manage to be cost-effective without impacting on
either safety or quality, but offer the support and guidance needed to
help us in standardizing all industrial
doors throughout the groups sites".
The impetus behind the review, to ensure all trade and retail site
shutters are fully functional and compliant with standards, was Travis
Perkins plc’s ‘Stay Safe’ initiative. This programme is a cornerstone of
how the organisation operates and is an inherent part of its culture. The
‘Stay Safe’ programme ensures the safety of its 26,000 employees as well
as its customers and suppliers.
Travis Perkins plc is the UK’s leading supplier of building materials
to the construction and home improvement markets with leading brands
including Travis Perkins, Wickes, Toolstation, City Plumbing and BSS
Industrial.
GfA National Sales Manager Peter Whittles says: ‘We are very proud to
be working with Travis Perkins plc. I’m sure the functionality and
usability of our products, added to our team’s in-depth knowledge of the
standards, technical know-how, and ability to specify the right equipment
will provide invaluable support for Travis Perkins and the door companies
on the project.’ | |||||
The board will allow the customer to show the TS 971 in action to his
mainly trade customers and train them on its use and application. The move
came about after GfA conducted training for the customer. Seeing the
value, he asked for our help in bringing the experience to life for his
users.
The TS 971 control panel board is available to buy from the GfA
product catalogue. It is attached to a working drive unit and available as
a showpiece demonstrator or for training purposes. Contact your account
manager to discuss if a similar proposition would work for
you.
