How the Right Rail System Enhances Door Performance
The rail system is the backbone of any industrial door. The rail is responsible for bearing the weight of the door and ensuring smooth, reliable operation. Apply it on frequent-used doors for a busy warehouse or a temperature-controlled cold storage room. The right rail system can mean the difference between one that functions flawlessly and one that causes frustration.
At Gaspack, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality rail systems with a competitive price/quality ratio. We provide a fair price for a product designed to stand the test of time.
Our systems are simple in design—with as few parts as possible for hand-operated systems. They are are lightweight and featuring anodized aluminum finishing caps. This simplicity translates to easier installation and long-term durability, with little to no maintenance required over the years.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Rail System?
Choosing the right rail system involves more than just matching it to the type of door. Several factors come into play:
- Size & Weight: The number one factor is always the weight. Whether it’s a single door leaf or a set, you need a rail system that can handle the load. Our rail systems handle door weights up to 400kg. No door leaf is too high or wide for our system as long as the weight is within range.
- Environmental Conditions: from cold storage facilities to food processing plants, different environments place different demands on your rail system. In hygiene-sensitive sectors like slaughterhouses or fish processing, constant cleaning is necessary. Our FlexTrack rail system is ideal for these environments. Made of stainless steel, it stands out for its durability and hygiene compliance. It is durable, corrosion-resistant, and designed to maintain hygiene standards while withstanding heavy use.
- Manual vs. Electric : Some building developers initially opt for manual doors to save on costs, but with automated doors, you can ultimately gain more benefits, such as ease of use and improved traffic flow. Here’s the beauty of our systems—you can easily upgrade to electric operation later. The rails stay in place, and the only adjustment needed is switching the hood to accommodate the motor. A comprehensive solution offering both flexibility and future-proofing.
- Maintenance Needs: Our rail systems are designed to be as low-maintenance as possible. With no external damage, these rails can last for decades—making service parts unnecessary. If you want reliability, you’re in the right place.
- Space Constraints: In environments where space is limited, our rail systems offer a compact solution without compromising on functionality. Installation is straightforward and fast, saving valuable time for both the customer and the end user. And in the end you can always reach our support team.
