Description
Eltrak ED24 Double Overhead Support Bracket – 200 kg Director Series
Overview
Designed for the 200 kg rated top-hung sliding door systems in the Director Series, the ED24 Double Overhead Support Bracket provides a robust mounting solution for parallel track installations. It allows two tracks to be fixed overhead in a stable, aligned fashion, simplifying door support and installation.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Designed for dual-track overhead support – accepts two tracks side by side in an overhead configuration, ideal for installations where twin sliding doors or wide spans are used.
-
200 kg load-rating (Director Series) – engineered to meet the capacity of the 200 kg sliding door system, making it suitable for smaller industrial or large shed doors.
-
Heavy-gauge construction – fabricated from 3.0 mm heavy gauge steel with dimensions of approximately 210 mm × 115 mm, zinc plated for corrosion resistance.
-
Simplified installation for overhead mounting – provides a strong, reliable fix-point for the track header, aiding alignment and reducing installation complexity.
-
Australian-market support – part of the localised Eltrak product range widely used in Australian industrial and shed-door applications.
Typical Applications
-
Overhead sliding doors in workshop, shed, agricultural, or light industrial buildings where the door system is up to 200 kg.
-
Paired or twin-door configurations requiring parallel track installations overhead.
-
Retrofits or rebuilds where overhead clearance exists and underside mounting is preferred for improved clearance or aesthetics.
-
Environments where overhead bracket alignment and track stability are critical for smooth door operation.

Why Choose the ED24?
When specifying a sliding door system in the 200 kg class, the bracket supporting the track is a critical component. The ED24 offers a robust overhead mounting point, specifically tailored for dual-track setups and simplifies the installation of parallel sliding doors. Choosing this bracket ensures reliable alignment, structural integrity and compatibility with the Director Series track system — reducing issues like misalignment, excessive wear or door binding over time.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
-
Verify that the structural header or beam to which the bracket mounts is rated to support the bracket plus the full door load (including dynamic forces when the door moves).
-
Ensure the bracket is level and square before fixing tracks, as any misalignment may lead to early wear of rollers or track.
-
Use recommended fixings (bolts, welding or anchors) as per structural engineer and application.
-
After installation, inspect periodically (at least annually) for signs of corrosion, loosening bolts or deformation, especially in exposed or industrial environments.
-
For installations in coastal, marine or chemically aggressive environments, consider additional protective coatings or stainless fasteners to extend service life.
