Typical applications
Racks are fitted along the gate leaf of self-supporting sliding gates, where the drive pinion engages the teeth. Steel racks suit outdoor use thanks to their galvanised surface. Plastic racks with a steel core suit installations near residential buildings, where quiet operation matters.
