Trac‑Rite 988 door specifications

Design type

Dead axle design with torque-tube assembly. Rotates on a fixed axle during operation.

Torque‑Tube Assembly

Axle is high‑yield schedule 80 structural tubing with 1‑5⁄16" outside diameter. Drums are 12" diameter spiral x 1‑½" wide, 16‑gauge, zinc‑coated steel with grease‑filled ball bearings mounted in the center of the drum to promote smooth operation. EP3 springs are helical torsion, oil tempered, and coated to halt corrosion and increase life. Axle, drums, and springs are enclosed in a 26‑gauge galvanized spiral tube to provide even curtain support.

Tensioning System

Springs come with a zinc‑coated cast steel tension wheel and winding bar for ease of adjusting spring tension.

Curtain

Roll‑formed sections, factory‑seamed from 26‑gauge, Grade 80 galvanized steel. Siliconized polyester finish in 13 standard colors. Full‑length 2" felt tape located at each drum.

Bottom Assembly

Zinc‑coated steel bottom angle mounted to corrosion‑resistant aluminum extrusion with stainless steel bolts. TPE blade astragal also included.

Brackets

Universal mounting brackets are interchangeable for mounting on the left or right side. 10‑gauge, cold‑formed, galvanized steel, embossed for added strength.

Guides

16‑gauge, zinc‑coated, 2‑¾" deep. Featuring polypropylene guide runners to assure smooth operation and prevent steel‑on‑steel contact.

Chain Hoist

8:1 reduced‑drive. Mounts directly to the axle on either the left or right side.

Interior Lock

12‑gauge, zinc‑coated steel slide bolt engages a lock strike attached to the side guide. Two locks per door fasten to the bottom assembly and are suitable for padlocking.

Mounting Fasteners

Steel or wood fasteners included. For masonry openings, mounting clips and anchoring system are sold separately:

Bracket: ¼" x 7⁄8" self‑drilling screws
Jamb: ¼" x 7⁄8" self‑drilling screws
