r-tec PULL 1200L (Long)

Overview

PULL 1200L is the long-rail variant that takes the PULL 1200 motor into taller garages: it keeps the same 1 200 N output while extending the console (rail) size from a standard 3.1 m to 3.7 m, raising the maximum door height from 2.5 m to 3.1 m. That reach makes it suitable for high-ceiling garages, double-vehicle wide sectional doors and large-height commercial garage applications.

PULL 1200 vs PULL 1200L

Feature	PULL 1200	PULL 1200L
Pulling force	1 200 N	1 200 N
Console (rail) size	Standard 3.1 m	Long 3.7 m
Max. door height	2.5 m	3.1 m
Target door	Residential/apartment	High ceiling, commercial
Ceiling height	Standard	Min 3.7 m recommended

→ PULL 1200 is sufficient for standard residential garage; PULL 1200L is mandatory for high ceiling or sectional doors above 2.5 m.

Long rail — installation difference

The standard overhead motor + rail usually comes in 2 pieces. The long variant is 3 pieces, with rail ends joined during installation:

• First piece — From motor unit towards door upper frame, first metre
• Middle piece — Main drive area (1-1.5 m)
• Last piece — Up to door upper limit switch

Parallelism is critical at joints — curved or crooked joints squeeze the drive chain/belt, causing rapid wear.

High ceiling requirement

PULL 1200L overhead motor + 3.7 m console requires min 3.7 m ceiling height:

• 3.1 m door height
• Rail tip + motor body (console size 3.7 m)
• Safety buffer (driver head-bumping risk)

If ceiling is insufficient, alternative solution: side-mounted motor (tube motor) — outside the PULL series, switch to NORMTOR industrial sectional + I-380 control combination.

Target projects

• High-ceiling commercial garage (hotel valet, shopping mall parking)
• Double-vehicle wide sectional door
• Minibus / minivan parked commercial facility
• Apartment shared garage — high ceiling
• Industrial showroom garage (aesthetic priority)

Field discipline

• Ceiling height check — Min 3.7 m verified in site survey; if missing, standard PULL 1200 or alternative motor recommended
• Rail joint parallelism — 3-piece rail joints must be straight; curved joint causes early wear
• Drive chain tension — Chain has tendency to sag on long rail; periodic tension adjustment mandatory (every 3-6 months)
• Emergency release cord — Cord distance increases on long rail; PVC-covered extension used if extension required
• Periodic maintenance — Once every 6 months rail lubrication + chain tension + spring balance check (more frequent than standard PULL 1200)
