In the world of industrial doors and automation, small improvements can make a significant difference. A bracket pack that arrives ready to install can save valuable time on site. A safety system that is easier to integrate can simplify a new installation or retrofit. And having the right control components readily available can mean one less delay when a job needs to get moving.
That practical approach is behind several new additions to Ellard’s door accessories range, with the latest launches focused on three key areas: installation efficiency, safety and availability.
And with further product developments planned throughout 2026, these latest additions offer a first look at what is shaping up to be a busy year for the company.
Cutting Installation Time with the New BP-L Bracket Pack Range
For installers, time spent preparing and assembling components on site can quickly add up. Ellard’s new BP-L Bracket Pack Range, designed for JMs up to 1000Nm, has been developed to remove some of that unnecessary work.
The Full Solution Bracket Packs are supplied with pre-assembled end plates, reducing on-site assembly and helping installers get doors operational sooner.
The design also addresses a common challenge where installation space is limited. With an inboard configuration, the BP-L range is suited to applications where there is little or no side room, giving manufacturers and installers greater flexibility when specifying and fitting the system.
The attention to detail extends to the installation itself. The bracket packs are pre-drilled for straightforward fitting and supplied in an anthracite grey finish, providing a clean and consistent appearance once installed.
The result is a solution designed around a simple principle: less preparation, less assembly and more time getting the job done.
A Smarter Approach to Door Safety with the E-LC Light Curtain
As automated doors become increasingly sophisticated, safety systems need to keep pace. Ellard’s new E-LC Light Curtain Range has been introduced to provide continuous protection around automated industrial doors, shutters and curtain installations.
The compact system uses a grid of infrared beams across the door opening to detect people or objects entering the protected area. If the beam is interrupted, the system signals the door controller to stop or reverse the door, helping to protect pedestrians and reduce the potential for impact damage.
Crucially, the E-LC has been designed with installation flexibility in mind.
The emitter and receiver edges can be installed directly into guide rails or mounted to the front and rear of the door, making the system suitable for both new installations and retrofit applications.
Its intelligent blanking technology is another key feature. The system can recognise the moving door as it travels through the detection area, helping to prevent nuisance activations while maintaining continuous protection.
The range is available with protection heights of 1.8m, 2.0m and 2.5m, a maximum operating range of 10 metres and support for door speeds of up to 1.6m/s.
For installers, that combination of compact design, flexible mounting and intelligent detection provides a practical safety solution that can be integrated across a wide range of door applications.
Keeping Essential Controls Close at Hand with the Geba Master Rocker Switch
Sometimes, improving the customer experience is less about developing something entirely new and more about making the right products easier to get hold of.
That’s the thinking behind the addition of the Geba Master Rocker Switch to Ellard’s stocked range.
The 230V, 16 Amp switch provides simple, dependable control for industrial door applications, with two-way operation and a central off position. Designed for use in commercial and industrial environments, it offers straightforward operation in a robust package.
Perhaps just as importantly for installers, the switch is available for immediate dispatch.
By bringing another established industrial door control component into its stocked range, Ellard is making it easier for customers to source the products they need from a single supplier, helping to keep projects moving and minimise unnecessary delays.
