| A Note From Schweiss, |
"U.S. Patent No. 6,866,080"
"U.S. Patent No. 6,199,617" |
When our patented lift-strap system became such a popular choice with door customers, it was only logical that the competition would come out swinging,
especially if cable system is the only system they offer. New Technology is wonderful, even in the door business.
What is the competition saying:
• |
Cable systems are more durable, more reliable, and safer than straps. |
What do we say:
• |
NOT SO! In fact, our "Lift-Strap" system beats the competition on all three of those factors.
However, Schweiss continues to offer cable doors should the customer want a cable system. We believe in offering the option.
You see that in many other features available to our customers.
|
The bottom line:
• |
Why bother with cables? Lift Straps are faster, safer, simpler, and quieter. End of debate. |
• |
Our Lift-Strap system out lifts, out lasts and out sells any cable system. |
• |
Today, 80% of Schweiss Bi-Folds are ordered with Lift Straps |
• |
Since we introduced our Lift-Strap package, cable systems have become hard to sell. |
Why are Schweiss Lift Straps the best way to lift Bi-Fold Doors?
• |
Faster---Gear Ratio changes as the door opens. |
• |
Safer-----29,000 lb. Tensile Strength, compared to 7,900 lbs. Cable. |
• |
Easier---Install a strap, or install a cable. What a difference. |
• |
Simpler--Never will lift straps tangle. How can they lift? They wrap onto themselves |
Specific Facts on Straps:
• |
Straps outlast cable. |
• |
Straps are very low maintenance. |
• |
Straps are clean, neat looking. No abrasive strands. |
• |
Straps will stretch with use, so we designed a simple strap tightener. Give it one or two clicks and your strap is tight again. How simple does it get?
|
WE TOOK THE WORK OUT AND PUT SAFETY IN BY KEEPING
THE PROPER TENSION ON OUR LIFT STRAPS
--- IT'S WIN-WIN FOR THE CUSTOMER.
We have yet to sell a REPLACEMENT LIFT STRAP! They simply last, and last and last. And that is time, labor and $$$'s saved for the door owner.
The 29,000-Lb. Tensile strength is a tremendous safety factor. That is why the Schweiss Lift-Strap System has a
NEW 7-YEAR WARRANTY!!
SOFT START / SOFT STOP:
The 'mechanics' of our lift-strap system are uniquely simple: As the strap wraps on the lift drum the door quietly opens quicker until it reaches the automatic stop position.
Should you stop the door at any position, the door GENTLY comes to a stop. You get a Soft Start and a Soft Stop. It doesn't get any better.
Let me wrap up with a few customer comments:
• |
Smoothest door opening mechanism I've ever seen. |
• |
A really trouble free lift system. |
• |
Anything is better than those cable doors. |
• |
We installed lift straps 3 years ago and have never had to adjust the straps. |
• |
I'll never buy a cable door again. |
• |
We feel the lift strap system is much safer. |
• |
I don't know why anyone would buy a cable when you can buy lift straps. |
Now you understand why we are proud of our bi-fold doors and our patented unique lift-strap system. It's simply a BETTER BUY.
Thank you for your interest in Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors.
