Servo roll-forming line with blue tooling rafts

Technologies

One portfolio. Every technology labelled by how you can access it.

Door systems that remove components, cost and installation time; roll-forming automation that keeps steel building lines running at full speed; and surface imaging that makes metal look like anything. Each carries a route tag: Licensed, Equipment supplied or Partner technology.

01Door Systems

Patented door technologies and the automation to manufacture them.

From a linear synchronous drive that eliminates springs, chains and cables to composite springs produced in-house and robotic door production lines, Tractive’s door technologies reduce component counts, manufacturing costs and installation time.
