In the last two decades, parking jacks have been used in many homes. Parking jacks operate by electricity and open and close the door using various components that play a complementary role in their operation. In the following, you can learn about the components, types and benefits of parking jacks.
In response to the question, what is a garage door jack? It should be said that parking jacks are in the category of automatic doors. By installing this device to the parking garage doors, you can open and close the parking garage doors without the need to get out and bother. Parking jacks are classified in different ways. In many residential, office and even commercial places, different types of jacks can be installed depending on the conditions, weight and width of the door.
As mentioned above, the parking jack has components that play a complementary role. If there is a disturbance or lack of any of them, the function of the jack will face problems. The components of the parking jack are:
Due to the different conditions that exist for installing the automatic door jack. Manufacturing companies produce them in two forms, arm and rail jacks. Arm and rail jacks do not differ from each other in terms of efficiency, but both of them are used to open and close the garage door automatically. The thing that causes the difference is the way these two work.
Arm jacks have two arms that are placed behind each door leaf. They are produced by different brands with the ability to bear different weights. Arm jacks can carry garage doors of different widths and lengths according to the power of the motor that the manufacturer has planned for them.
Rail jacks are suitable for spaces where the door cannot be opened and closed normally. Installing a rail parking jack on such doors partially solves the problem of lack of space. In these cases, the rail motor (rail jack) causes the door to move horizontally on the ground and be pulled. Usually, rail jacks can carry heavier doors compared to arm jacks. For this reason, rail jacks are also used for shed doors.
