Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Gate or garage door operators
German term or phrase: mitfahrenden Motorwagen
Das System des mitfahrenden Motorwagens ist einmalig und weltweit patentiert. Es gibt keine bewegte, umlaufende Kette oder Zahnriemen und somit auch keine Verschleißteile wie Umlenkrollen.

This is about a gate operator or garage door operator.

agree  Andrew D: travelling motor unit - sounds good, but the picture definetly shows the travelling chain and other Verschleissteile (low wear contra no wear) which the new gear does without // keine Verschleißteile sounds like - no parts which are subjected to wear
12 hrs
  -> but how could it open a door without a chain? The manufacturer claims *low wear* and not *no wear*
