APPLICATION REFERENCE
Food Trailers
Two linear actuators open and close an upward-hinged serving hatch on a food trailer. One actuator is installed on the left side and one on the right side.

Equipment Motion Requirements
- The actuators act on opposite sides of the same hatch. Their attachment points and movement must be considered together.
- The confirmed photograph marks the left installation as 1 and the right installation as 2.
Actuation & Integration
Evaluate both actuator positions through the complete hatch movement. Select the actuator configuration and control arrangement for the hatch load, geometry and operating requirements. Use the installation photograph to identify the left and right actuator positions when preparing the equipment layout.
Equipment & Installation References
Engineering Considerations
- Hinge position and actuator leverage through the opening arc
- Matched movement on the left and right sides
- Cable routing and clearance around the serving opening
- Required feedback, limits and controller compatibility
Application suitability depends on the actuator configuration, installation geometry and operating conditions. Contact Fergus for technical evaluation.
