Sliding door, 2-step with upper rail – Where there is lack of space sideways

 

All Axelent’s guard doors fulfill the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC’s requirements for movable guards on the market. From our range of safety doors, the sliding door, 2-step with upper rail is ideal in cases where large openings are desired but where space is lacking sideways. Instead of the door leaves being pushed sideways, they overlap each other and are connected. In the open position, the parked door leaves need only limited space.

A sliding door, 2-step with upper rail can be used when there is no space to open the door like a normal passage door. The door can be adapted to different opening dimensions. 

The advantage of all doors in Axelent's range - the sliding door, 2-step with upper rail is no exception to this - is that you do not need any specific panels for the doors. Fixed fencing panels can be converted into a sliding door.
