PVC Strip Curtain Swivel Hinge Rail 300mm 56% Overlap | Heavy-Duty Industrial & Commercial UK

Swivel Hinge Rail — 300mm width with 56% overlap configuration, designed for heavy-duty PVC strip curtain installations at loading bays, train sheds, agricultural buildings, and large industrial doorways. The swivel hinge mechanism allows the entire rail and curtain assembly to swing away from the opening, providing unrestricted vehicle and machinery access before returning to position to restore the barrier.

Use Cases

• Loading Bays & Dock Doors: The swivel hinge allows the curtain to swing fully clear of the loading bay opening during HGV, lorry, and delivery vehicle access, then swing back into position to restore the thermal and dust barrier.
• Train Sheds & Rail Maintenance Facilities: Used in train shed and locomotive maintenance environments where the curtain needs to be swung aside to allow rolling stock and maintenance vehicles through the doorway.
• Agricultural Buildings & Farm Doorways: Allows large agricultural machinery, tractors, and farm vehicles to pass through without manually removing or dismantling the curtain.
• Industrial Factories & Manufacturing: Suitable for large factory openings where heavy machinery, overhead cranes, or wide loads require unrestricted access while an effective barrier is maintained between operations.
• Cold Rooms with Vehicle Access: Allows forklift trucks to access large cold stores while maintaining a swinging curtain barrier that returns to position automatically after each access event.
• Warehouses with High-Traffic Doorways: Provides efficient access control at busy warehouse doorways where the curtain needs to open completely for large vehicle movements without manual adjustment.

About the Swivel Hinge Rail System

The swivel hinge rail system is the preferred choice for industrial installations where vehicle or machinery access requires the curtain to move completely clear of the opening. Unlike hook-on or QuickMount systems, the swivel hinge allows the entire curtain to swing away as a single unit, making it the most practical solution for high-throughput loading bays and large vehicle access doorways.
