The ReadyForce Counterweight System
Made for the Doors That Never Stop
ReadyForce's proprietary and patented counterweight system is built for the doors that work hardest. A parking garage door can cycle 400 to 500 times a day, and that load wears out ordinary hardware fast. On steel sectional and wood flush doors, the counterweight system carries that duty with less maintenance and a longer service life.
- Heavy-duty 11-gauge steel hardware, stronger than the common 13 or 14-gauge
- Through-bolt construction that stays solid under vibration and lowers maintenance
- Solid steel, sealed, high-pressure bearings for smoother, longer performance
- Fits steel sectional and wood flush doors alike

Counterweight Door Types
Where Does a Counterweight Door Fit?
When a door section is too large or heavy for a spring system to balance well, a counterweight design carries the load.
Vertical-Lift Counterweight
A door section that lifts straight up, balanced by counterweights, for tall openings with headroom above.
Oversized and Heavy Doors
Large, heavy sections that standard spring systems cannot balance well, handled by a counterweight system.
Custom Builds
Doors built to unusual sizes and loads for underground parking, plants and specialty facilities.
Motorized Options
Motorized operation with heavy-duty operators sized to the door.

How It Works
From the First Call to a Door That Runs
Site Assessment
We measure the opening, headroom and side room, and look at how the door is used.
Scope and Fixed Quote
We spec the door, track and counterweight package and price it before the work starts. The quote is the invoice.
Scheduled Around You
We book the install around your shipping and production, including nights and weekends.
Install and Full Test
Factory-trained crews install, align the track, set the counterweight balance and run a full operational test.
Documented and Warranted
You get the paperwork for compliance and warranty, and one number to call.
Ongoing Service
Optional preventative maintenance keeps it running and catches wear before it becomes a shutdown.
Preventative Maintenance
We Keep You Ready for the People Who Count on You
A door that fails without warning becomes an emergency call you have to explain. Scheduled maintenance catches the wear early, so it does not happen.

You stop watching the door. We are watching it for you, on a schedule.
Continuous Operation
Trucks keep moving and the building keeps running, with no surprise downtime.
Predictable Costs
Planned care and a set price, instead of emergency invoices you did not budget for.
