Trac‑Rite 988WL

The Trac-Rite 988 Model Roll Up Door is specifically designed for Large Door Openings in a wide range of Heavy-Duty Industrial & Commercial applications. The Trac-Rite 988WL Door is based on the 988 Model and is ideal for the same range of uses - but the 988WL features WindLocks to provide Maximum Wind Load Capability.

Engineered For Heavy-Duty Performance With Maximum Wind Load Resistance
The 988WL features a 26-gauge rigid-rib steel curtain and dead-axle design with torque tube assembly that allows even the largest door to reliably operate with ease. The door is available in a variety of colors in large custom sizes from 11'W x 8'H to 16'W x 16'H in 1" increments.
The Trac-Rite WindLock System
When wind blows against the 988WL steel curtain, the door's WindLocks engage with the door guide to produce a strong interlocking grip that maintains the curtain securely in it's guide to provide Maximum Wind Load Resistance.
We've installed very large custom-sized doors in many commercial and industrial operations all across Western New York, and our experts are here to help you choose the right overhead door for your large opening.
