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.

Trac‑Rite 988WL 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.

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 mounted on each drum for smooth rolling and reduced marring.

Bottom Assembly

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

Curtain WindLocks

10‑gauge, zinc‑coated steel, secured to door with two 3⁄16" rivets.

WindLock Bar

Galvanized 12‑gauge with holes for fastening to jamb every 4 inches. Placed inside the guide.

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.

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.

Saddle with Tensioner

Easily adjustable one‑piece saddle accepts 1‑5⁄16" diameter axle. Double cams lock the axle in position and maintain tension on the springs.

Guides

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

Mounting Fasteners

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

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

Wood:
Bracket: 5⁄16" x 1‑5⁄8" lag bolt
Jamb: ¼" x 1‑½" self‑drilling screws

Masonry: Clip type system with 5⁄16" diameter expansion anchors for both brackets and jambs (sold separately)
