Aluminium Tracks for Gates & Sliding Door Systems
Aluminium Channels provide the running surface and structural support for sliding gate and overhead door hardware. Selecting the correct channel ensures smooth movement, accurate alignment and reliable long-term performance while supporting the rollers, guide systems and other hardware that make up the complete installation.
Richmond offers channels for cantilever gates, overhead sliding doors and suspended door systems in a range of sizes to suit different opening widths, door weights and operating requirements.
Product Types by Application
Cantilever Gate Channels
The range includes 68mm, 100mm and 140mm wide Cantilever Gate Channels, each supplied in 5.8 metre lengths for fabricating cantilever sliding gates.
Different channel sizes allow the gate system to be matched to varying gate dimensions and load requirements while providing a strong running track for cantilever rollers.
Overhead Sliding Door Tracks
Available in 35mm and 50mm widths, Aluminium Overhead Sliding Door Tracks provide a durable guide for suspended sliding door systems.
These tracks are suitable for commercial buildings, workshops, warehouses and industrial applications where floor-mounted tracks are not practical.
Hanging Roller Channels
The 60mm Hanging Roller Channel is designed to support compatible hanging roller assemblies used in overhead sliding door installations.
Its aluminium construction provides corrosion resistance while delivering reliable support for smooth door operation.
Slide Block Guide Channels
The Aluminium Slide Block Guide Channel provides accurate lower guidance for sliding gate systems.
By maintaining gate alignment during operation, guide channels help reduce movement, improve stability and minimise wear on associated hardware.
Track Kits
Richmond supplies complete 50mm and 60mm Overhead Sliding Door Track Kits with track joiners for straightforward installation.
These kits provide compatible components that simplify installation while ensuring reliable alignment between track sections.
