Alimak are set to unveil a new extra-large door at ConExpo this year. Developed to further increase logistics, the new door will also improve productivity for construction companies and rental fleet owners.
This new extra-large vertical sliding door can be mounted on the long side of the construction elevator to improve logistics and productivity further. The door can be furnished for the new Alimak Scando 650 FC-S construction site hoist with 5 meters car length. With an opening width of 4.2m and an opening height of 2.5m it’s 30% larger than the largest door of any previous Alimak construction elevator. Enjoy an increased door size and rigid threshold allowing for larger and heavier loads.
Ease of use has been incorporated into this new design for more streamlined unloading from a truck into the construction site hoist car with a forklift and less storage at ground level which is advantageous on sites where space is restricted allowing the tower crane to work on other jobs.
The vertical guided door also features mechanical locking and is electronically monitored. The lightweight moving door blades consist of aluminium profiles for ease of operation. Door counterweights are placed on the rear side of the hoist car for maximum protection. A modular design also allows for more flexibility, and five different car doors are available for the Alimak Scando 650 construction hoist range.
