WHAT SETS IT APART

Key Features

  • 01CE-certified and compliant with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 — homologated for the European market without exception.
  • 02Engineered for an industrial-grade lifespan with minimal maintenance — 200,000-cycle endurance.
  • 03Quick installation with multilingual technical documentation, CAD templates and a dedicated integrator support line.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Sheets, manuals, certificates — all at hand.

TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE

Under the hood — motor, shutter, integration.

MOTOR

Twin-motor 32 V, 195 mm/s idle.

Dual redundant motor architecture: if one motor fails, the second completes the opening in degraded mode. Torque maintained over the full travel, soft start to preserve the shutter and the kinematics.

ALUMINIUM SHUTTER

Extruded profiles, micrometric tolerance.

Extruded aluminium slats, polymer seals, stainless steel runners.

Product FAQ

Frequently asked questions about this product

  • The DL-6 is a retrofit motorisation kit for any existing roller door — installable by a qualified bodybuilder. The AluLIFT is a full door system: modular aluminium panels, vertical and horizontal rails, centred balancer, integrated drive. The AluLIFT falls under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and must be integrated by a trained, qualified bodybuilder, with a CE Declaration of Conformity for the final assembly. Motor, sensors and control box parts are common to both ranges.

  • The AluLIFT is intended for light commercial vehicles, trucks and trailers with a cargo compartment, providing motorised cargo opening and closing. Two connection-plate variants are offered: insulated for refrigerated vehicles, standard for dry boxes. Operation is strictly limited to a stationary vehicle — driving with the door open is forbidden. Insulated trucks or trailers need a roof reinforcement before rail mounting.

  • VanDOOR does not perform installation itself. AluLIFT integration must be carried out exclusively by qualified, trained bodybuilders or integrators, in accordance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and best practice. The integrator guarantees regulatory compliance of the final assembly, verifies correct operation, commissions the system, and supplies the end user with the manual and CE Declaration of Conformity for the integrated equipment.

  • A door balancer averages 15,000 to 25,000 cycles, i.e. 1.5 to 2 years at 40 cycles/day. The spring fatigues, the wire corrodes and loses effective diameter. Monitor it: if the door takes more force to open than to close, increase tension. If the reverse, reduce it. Past 2 years, schedule a preventive replacement — a spring breaking in service is dangerous and immobilises the vehicle.

  • The AluLIFT offers 5 push-button references: DL-8000810 (up/down, stainless cover, rear frame); DL-8000811 (optional cab button, open-only, wire 2); DL-8000814 (stainless NO pair, up/down, rear frame); DL-8000815 (NO held-pressure, two-hand dead-man control); DL-8000816 (NO open from inside the box). All five connect via the 8-wire auxiliary harness on the control box. The DL-6 offers a single standard button option.

Field essentials

Two essentials to know before anything else

Critical procedures to stay operational — emergency release and installer qualification.

  • External release procedure: (1) insert the DoorLIFT key into the lock cylinder at the centre of the intermediate or top panel, outside face; (2) turn the key 90° clockwise and firmly pull the lock and cable out of the cylinder — the system disengages; (3) reinsert the cable and cylinder into the door lock housing, then operate the door by hand. On the AluLIFT, an internal release is available: pull the red sleeve marked 'EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE' to disengage the motor lever from inside the box.

  • VanDOOR does not perform installation itself. AluLIFT integration must be carried out exclusively by qualified, trained bodybuilders or integrators, in accordance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and best practice. The integrator guarantees regulatory compliance of the final assembly, verifies correct operation, commissions the system, and supplies the end user with the manual and CE Declaration of Conformity for the integrated equipment.
