This is its lighter duty range, and is rarely supplied to new customers. Airbench says its FN type can be purchased at comparable prices for comparable sizes, and is a heavier duty unit, the FN type is welded and powder coated so is also a more robust product and the company thinks it offers better value and solves the same range of issues. Airbench says it does have some stock of parts, so current users of the EX type who would like to add to their installation while stock lasts should contact the company for latest pricing. t| 01206 791191 e| sales@airbench.com Retirement of EX range dp DOORS & SHUTTERS says it is now a legal requirement in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 98/79/EC and the workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulation 1992 that all power operated and automatic doors must be subject to a controlled and regular maintenance and service procedure with emphasis on the safety features.
