frame and rollers

Two photos of the bare frame. It has a dropside built in which is opened and closed by a motorised linear actuator.

The roof is pushed back and forth by a garage door chain drive system and has a fully programmable digital controller which also triggers the drop side.

Also 2 photos of the captive rollers. Getting the frame square and levelled is very important for the rollers to do their job.
