Nylon with steel core · 300–1,200 kg
Quiet, rust-free and lubrication-free; it is screwed on, no welding. For home and apartment-block gates, heavy intensive-use gates, cantilever and non-standard gates.
Sliding gate racks nylon and galvanised steel
The right sliding gate rack for every weight, from 300 to 4,000 kg. Two families: nylon with steel core, patented in 1988, and galvanised steel for industrial entrances.
Nylon or steel
The gate weight decides the material.
Up to 1,200 kg nylon does everything iron does, with no grease and no rust.
Galvanised steel · 1,200–4,000 kg
For industrial entrances, ports and customs, over 1,200 kg. Module 4 and 6, screw-on or weld-on. Needs periodic lubrication.
Stagnoli patents
Two ideas that changed gate racks.
We invented them ourselves, in Desenzano and then in Lonato del Garda.
1988
Nylon with steel core
Moulded around a steel bar: the lightness of nylon with the straightness of metal. It is still the most widely used rack on sliding gates worldwide.
2016
Three Points fixing
Each fixing point is secured in three places instead of one: the load is spread and bending drops. With elastomer-modified polyamide, capacity rises by 50%, up to 1,200 kg.

Frequently asked questions
Sliding gate racks, in practice.
Which sliding gate rack should I choose?
The gate weight decides: up to 1,200 kg the nylon rack with steel core, from 1,200 to 4,000 kg the galvanised steel rack. The "Which rack?" calculator suggests the codes from the weight and type of gate.
Nylon or steel: what are the differences?
Nylon does not rust, needs no lubrication, is quiet and is screwed on. Galvanised steel carries up to 4,000 kg, comes in module 4 and 6 and must be lubricated periodically.
What module are Stagnoli racks?
All nylon racks are module 4. Steel racks are module 4, except ACRM6, which is module 6.
Are there racks for cantilever gates?
Yes: aluminium or galvanised steel profiles for cantilever gates, up to 300 kg.
