Energy-saving, maintenance-free hydraulic door systems
The FBS Fidelity® system comprises a hydraulic cylinder operated by an electro-hydraulic motor to effortlessly, simply, efficiently and silently lift the door providing years of maintenance-free operation. With the Fidelity® system there are no unsightly springs or grease marks from lubricants.
Fidelity® hydraulic powering is not affected by the weight of each panel and can meet a wide range of design requirements. Safety is also enhanced due to the low centre of gravity. If obstacles are in the door path and the operator is distracted, the cables will not fleet and cross over – as in the case of electromechanical powering when the motor keeps operating, unwinding the cables from the drums and causing cables to break the next time the door is opened, if they have crossed over.
Due to the increasing operating costs associated with logistics and transport, end users are increasingly committed to lowering their cost base, and with this in mind over 75% of all Fen-Bay Services projects include the Fidelity® sectional overhead door.
The initial cost of an FBS Fidelity® hydraulic powered door can be recovered in the first two or three years of use, with no maintenance costs. In each following year, savings can be made as no maintenance is needed – another benefit on top of the effectiveness, ease-of-use and stylish design.
