Ventura Systems was the first company to develop a Plug Sliding door system for heavy-duty transit buses. With years of continuous product improvement and field experience from around the world, the Plug Sliding door has become the pinnacle of Ventura engineering. This carefully thought-through system is all about improving passenger safety and maximising uptime.
The outward motion of the Plug Sliding doors creates a completely clear passageway, allowing passengers to easily enter and exit the bus simultaneously, improving passenger flow. Unlike inward swinging doors, the Plug Sliding doors don’t take up interior space or prevent passengers from standing in front of the door for a quick exit.
This makes it ideal for all-door boarding, which can significantly reduce dwell times.
It also gives wheelchair users more room to manoeuvre inside the vehicle and gives vehicle manufacturers more flexibility in vehicle layout.
Safety features and door behaviour are controlled by our in-house developed Door
Control Unit, which allows the operation of the door to be parameterised according to the customer’s requirements.
The Plug Sliding door comes in an easy to install kit and its clever modular design
allows for a high degree of customisation. The door system is available with pneumatic or electric drive and can be tailored to fit any bus.
With well over 1.5 million test cycles, we pride ourselves on the unparalleled quality and durability of our door systems. The Plug Sliding door is designed to last
the life of the bus, providing the lowest life cycle cost and maximum uptime.
