PASSENGER CONVENIENCE SYSTEM

TOP & BOTTOM MOUNTED BUS DOOR SYSTEM


our vision our mission
World leaders in the mass To identity the market need and to
transport convenience help satisfy the same by constant
system innovation and development of the
most user friendly and interactive
passenger convenience systems.

ROTEX has brought a revolution in the bus door mechanism by making it simple to install and easy to
maintain. What may be seen simple to look, is as complicated as aligning the doors-both top to bottom and
sideways. All the parts of the door opening mechanism have been made by ROTEX for an easy assembly. This
is one of the (USP) of the product for simple and easy installation of the entire assembly, Special parts are
designed for specific need and functionality. Rotex busdoor systems are tested for more than a million
cycles. Most of the systems are running at different STUs in India & internationally successfully since 2004/
2005

INTRODUCTION
BRIEF INTRODUCTION : Electric folding
door mechanism is the technology
introduced by Japan, a new improved
driving mechanism for opening/closing
by the folding door of buses. The
benefits are - compact structure, fine
performance and long life service . It also
has anti-clamp feature to overcome the
seizure of cylinder piston rod movement
to water condensation in cold areas. This
electrical door mechanism is ideal for
buses with no air supply & have foldable
doors.

ROTEX Retractable Foot Step


RRFS
OPERATION PRINCIPAL
ROTEX Retractable foot step is designed
for high floor Buses.
It is a new type of stepping structure with
features such as Closeness to ground,
safe, stable and reliable in service.
It is installed on vehicle floor for
passenger convenience.
Step is retracted while bus is in motion.
Control will be at drivers console and
interfaced with door opening/closing
A movable foot-step for a vehicle is
operable by a mechanism including a
guide device below the floor of the
vehicle for extension of the step outside
one side of the vehicle in an
outwards/downwards movement and
retraction in the opposite direction. The
foot-step comprises a support structure
over which an endless mat is stretched,
and means for retaining a portion of the
mat in the direction of movement of the
foot-step, but not in the vertical
direction.
