Stacking Layouts


Where and how you want the panels to stack.

Lotus utilises a number of proven tracking and trolley systems. Choice of the most suitable is a specialised issue and depends on stacking needs, panel details and the track layout. The specification below focuses on the stacking requirements and Lotus will advise the best suited track and trolley system.


Centre Stack Side Stack Remote Stack
A simple straight track. Each panel is suspended from a central trolley and typically hinged in pairs. Often closed by a jamb hung pass-door. Single panels are suspended from 2 carriers at the top corners of each panel. Panels stack with one carrier remaining on the main track and the other in the side track. Panels have omnidirectional carriers to negotiate X, L or T junctions and panels are stacked completely away from the main track, sometimes in a cupboard or recess.

PROS: PROS: PROS:
Economical, quick to set up. Beam work is straight forward. Single panels are easier to move. Flexibility to stack to the side of the track and to negotiate junctions. Panels can be stacked away from the main track, useful in complex layouts.
CONS: CONS: CONS:
Panels have to remain stacked on the main track. Beam work is needed over side track. Extra tracking and beamwork required. Inexperienced users can get panels out of order on larger installations.
