English term or phrase: to root open and rooter/lifter door
Hi all!
I'm not sure about the translation of "root" and "rooter". Here's more context:

Lifting (top-hinged) gates require that a hog use its nose to root or lift open the door.
I'm not sure if translating root as "abrir" is enough.

Door designs include the guillotine/drop door, spring/swing door, and rooter/lifter door.
I'm not sure if translating rooter/lifter door as "puerta de elevación" is enough.

Thank you all in advance!!!
