Door-supporting device as opening aid

The problem

Opening large hinged doors radically alters a case’s center of gravity, placing an excessive strain on the hinges and causing structural stress, with the risk of toppling the unit over if it is not secured to the floor.

The standard solution

The remedy is usually to use suction cups to attach a wheeled mobile device to the case to assist with opening the door.

Goppion’s innovation

Goppion has invented a unique, reliable and particularly versatile version of this device that uses a lever to grip the bottom edge of the door to support its weight. Fitted with one or more suction cups and a spring-loaded wheel to absorb any unevenness in the floor, this light, stainless steel instrument requires no special training to operate.
