Rolling Roof

Sellers Engineering have developed a rolling roof system which answers all of the criticisms of previous types and designs of this system.

The system comprises of two sections, each rolling on tracks. The front section rolling back over the rear section to allow the front of the container to be filled, the rear section rolling forward under the front section to allow the rear of the container to be filled. The main advantage of the rolling roof container is that it can be filled from above as with the open container, yet the contents remain dry and secure.

The curved shape is aesthetically pleasing and also means that the number of joints in the roof plates can be reduced to a minimum.

The steel rollers on which the roof moves are specifically designed to resist binding and ‘crabbing’ and can be removed for quick and easy maintenance.

The solid tracks form part of the longitudinal top members of the container and profile plates that wrap under the track plate preventing the roof from ‘lifting’ in high wind conditions.

The roof has a lightweight steel skin supported by hollow box section ribs giving strength and rigidity.

These are six handles per container, two on the inner roof, four on the outer roof, these are not only used to operate the roof but are also used as a safe means of locking.

These designs features mean that the roof requires very little effort to operate. The rolling roof container has proved to be highly successful in several industries especially those dealing in animal feed and those with involve the transportation of waste paper. The roof can be fitted to any size of container which can be built either in the conventional style with channel ribs or alternatively with smooth sides.
