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.
