Grooved Drive Rail
The grooved drive rail has become the standard for all new SlideDriver gate operator installations.
In this manual, several illustrations show the non-grooved, anged drive rail which is no longer available unless a
Solenoid Lock option is installed.
The grooved drive rail replaces the non-grooved, anged drive rail.
A section of the two different drive rails is shown in the illustration.
Standard grooved drive rail Non-grooved, flanged drive rail
No anges
Grooves on the underside
NOTE: Solenoid Lock option
requires anged drive rail
Grooved versus non-grooved, flanged drive rail
The small grooves on the underside of the new drive rail improve traction in slick or wet conditions and provide
more pulling and stopping power in SlideDriver installations. The three underside anges have been eliminated
which reduces drive wheel wear and drag in misaligned gate installations. Additionally, the no-ange drive rail
stacks better for shipping which reduces the likelihood of freight damage.
NOTE: The grooved drive rail is standard and will be on your order unless you specify otherwise. The non-
grooved, anged drive rail is still available for use with the Solenoid Lock option. The Solenoid Lock option
requires an outer edge ange and therefore must be installed with the non-grooved, anged drive rail.
