r-tec PULL 1200

Overview

PULL 1200 is the reinforced variant in the same family, designed for sites where the standard PULL 1000 runs out of headroom: it lifts the pulling force class from 1 000 N to 1 200 N. It finds its place on applications that push the PULL 1000 too hard — large sectional garage doors up to 2.5 m in height, apartment shared garages or small-facility garage doors.

PULL 1000 vs PULL 1200 vs PULL 1200L

Model	Pulling force	Drive length	Target door
PULL 1000	1 000 N	Standard	Residential garage up to 2.5 m
PULL 1200	1 200 N	Standard	Residential + heavy garage up to 2.5 m
PULL 1200L	1 200 N	Long	High ceiling / large door

→ PULL 1000 for standard-height small garage; PULL 1200 for up to 2.5 m or heavy spring-balanced door; PULL 1200L for sites requiring high ceiling + long rail up to 3.1 m.

Garage motor standard package (PULL 1200)

• Overhead motor unit — 230 V AC input, built-in control board + receiver
• Drive chain (console mechanism) — 2.5-3.5 m standard based on door height
• LCD display — Parameter setting via menu (limit, speed, obstacle sensitivity)
• Integrated LED torch — Stays on for ~3 minutes when door opens
• Emergency release cord — Hangs from ceiling, pulled during power outage for manual mode
• 2-button 433 MHz rolling code remote — Spare handheld or in-vehicle
• 2 photocell channels — Opening + closing safety direction

Spring balance — critical condition

The garage door motor requires the door to be balanced by its own torsion spring system. PULL 1200’s high pulling force may temporarily operate a door with disturbed spring balance, however:

• Motor strains continuously → thermal protection trips frequently
• Drive chain has high tension at drive ends → rapid wear
• If the spring breaks, the motor alone cannot hold the 60-80 kg panel → safety risk

Authorised technician check is mandatory — motor is not installed without correcting the spring balance.

Target projects

• Apartment shared garage entrance (up to 2.5 m height)
• Large villa garage sectional door
• Small facility or workshop garage
• Spring-balanced industrial mini-sectional
• Renovation — sites where PULL 1000 falls short

Field discipline

• Overhead unit + rail + spring balance are adjusted according to manufacturer instructions
• Ceiling height — Standard overhead motor protrudes 30-35 cm below the ceiling; if ceiling is insufficient, switch to PULL 1200L long-rail variant
• Drive length — Door height + 30 cm safety buffer
• Emergency release cord accessibility — In a position reachable from inside the vehicle
• Periodic maintenance — Once every 12 months chain tension + rail lubrication + spring balance check
• Obstacle sensitivity setting — Calibration via LCD menu for child + pet safety
