  • a drive shaft can be provided.
  • the drive shaft can be arranged either on one side of the door or on both sides. It might be also possible, to provide more than one drive shaft on each of the sides of the door, in particular two drive shafts for driving heavy load doors.

  • at least a pair of rotatable elements is provided, which are preferably arrangeable on substantially opposite sides of the drive shaft.
  • the at least two rotatable elements are adapted to be brought into contact with the drive shaft on each side of the center axis of the drive shaft. Since there is one rotatable element on each side of the drive shaft, the contact between the drive shaft and the rotatable elements will be more stable and reliable, as the rotatable elements can be arranged in a position with respect to each other, in which the drive shaft is urged therebetween. Further, the carriage can be driven in the opposite direction with maintained performance, i.e. in both directions with the same driving force.

Additionally or alternatively, at least two rotatable elements are distributed over the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft, whereby the at least two rotatable elements are arranged offset in different planes, which are substantially oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft. In other words, rotatable elements are arranged at the carriage, which are distributed in a generally lengthwise direction of the drive shaft. Thus, higher loads can be evenly distributed over the rotatable elements thereby relieving pressure on single rotatable elements.
  • biasing means for biasing the at least one rotatable element against the drive shaft are provided.
