SCISSOR PULL SYSTEM FENCE
Contents
The professional main curtain system
The FENCE scissor pull is the result of decades of experience in processing and moving heavy theater and opera curtains. Its innovative mechanism combines extremely smooth running, precise movement sequences and maximum operational reliability - for an excellent opening appearance that is used in theaters, opera houses and TV studios worldwide.
Since 1997, GERRIETS has supplied over 146 scissor lifts with a total length of over 3000 m worldwide.
Perfect opening pattern - harmonious. Uniform. Reproducible.
The design is optimized for large and heavy curtains and ensures a uniform pleat pattern across the entire width for both Greek and Italian openings.
The system consists of a split scissor made of aluminum or steel profiles whose axes are guided in durable, maintenance-free sliding bushes. When opening and closing, the distance between the pleats changes automatically and evenly.
Special guides and double rollers prevent the rollers from coming off the track and an integrated running surface made of abrasion-resistant plastic ensures that the curtain is guided in a stable, quiet and low-vibration manner.
Why is FENCE the best choice?
- Highest operational reliability - proven worldwide
- Perfectly harmonious pleat pattern
- Ideal for heavy and large-format curtains
