Why Choose the EH12LP?
When you’re specifying a sliding door system with significant weight and frequent use, every component matters. The EH12LP carriage offers a combination of high load capacity, rugged construction and proven performance. By selecting this carriage, you’re choosing hardware designed for long-life service in demanding environments — supporting smooth operation, reducing downtime and minimizing maintenance.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
-
Ensure the track system (beam, header, supports) is engineered to accommodate both the carriage and full door load.
-
Use two carriages (minimum) per door to evenly distribute load and maintain smooth travel.
-
Align track carefully before installing door — misalignment can lead to excessive wear on wheels or bearings.
-
Periodically inspect wheels, bearings, and thrust caps for signs of wear or damage, especially in heavy-use or exposed environments.
-
In corrosive or dust-laden environments (e.g., agricultural, coastal, chemical), consider additional protection (e.g., stainless fixings or protective coatings) to extend service life.
