Supralift air powered operator installed beside the exit door at Northdale Oil's North location

Built for the environment

A proven design for wet, high-cycle environments.

Car washes, truck washes, and lube bays put overhead door equipment through demanding conditions. Supralift II uses an air-powered dual-cylinder assembly and a chain drive to turn the door’s torsion shaft.

The operator mounts alongside the door track. Corrosion-resistant materials and cushioned movement make it a practical choice for commercial facilities where moisture and frequent cycling are part of the job.

Know what you are ordering

Choose the operator. Add the controls you need.

Every height option includes the standard operator hardware below. Selecting Yes adds one SLA20-24 control box to each operator.

Standard operator hardware

  • Dual-cylinder operator assembly matched to your door height
  • Standard nickel-plated drive chain
  • Chain turnbuckle and shaft sprocket
  • Stainless mounting hardware and quick-connect fittings
  • Standard flow control kit

Complete your installation

  • Controls: add the SLA20-24 above or confirm your existing controls are compatible
  • 3/8-inch polyflow airline
  • Point-of-equipment inline dryer
  • Safety reversing device, pusher springs where required, and optional timer
See SLA20-24 control-box details

Plan the installation

A better fit starts with the details.

Have a trained door professional confirm the door, air supply, controls, and safety requirements before installation.

Supralift II Air Powered Operator Specifications
Door height choices8 ft, 10 ft, or 12 ft
Regulated compressed air40 to 90 psi
Minimum side room8 inches
Torsion shaft1-inch solid keyed shaft
Minimum usable shaft projection5 inches beyond the bearing plate
Drive arrangementTrack-mounted chain drive to the torsion shaft

Use a properly balanced door. Pusher springs are required for standard lift and high lift below 16 inches, and are sold separately. Do not use an air-line oiler. Follow the full installation manual. A reliable safety reversing device is required. The manual cautions that omitting a point-of-equipment inline dryer may void warranty coverage.

HOW IT WORKS

Air power. Chain drive. Door movement.

Mounted beside the door, Supralift II uses compressed air to move its cylinders. A chain transfers that motion to the door's torsion shaft to open and close a properly balanced sectional door.

  1. Controls direct the air. The control assembly routes compressed air through the air lines to operate the cylinders.
  2. The cylinders move the chain. The track-mounted dual-cylinder assembly drives the chain up and down beside the door.
  3. The chain turns the shaft. The chain engages a sprocket on the torsion shaft, turning the shaft to raise or lower the door.

Drawing shows the operating arrangement. The control box and installation accessories are separate selections. See the installation manual for mounting, air supply and safety requirements.
