Drive automation systems for swimming pool covers, telescopic enclosures and movable decks
A wide range of models for all telescopic enclosure and moving deck systems.
AKIA System has been designing and manufacturing wheel-drive automation systems since 1993. Since 2008, AKIA System has also designed and supplied a range of drive systems for telescopic swimming pool enclosures, suitable for all applications, from the lightest to the largest structures. These scalable drive systems can meet all requirements.
- A range of models for all types of telescopic enclosures and moving decks
- Quick and easy installation
- Fast operating speed
- Autonomous operation with solar panel and battery system
- Non-load-bearing drive wheel design
- Excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces
- Compensates for surface irregularities and level differences
The core technology of our drive systems, proven in operation for years on the heaviest gates and in the most extreme conditions, together with the principle applied, enables us to offer a 5-year manufacturer warranty, identical to that of our gate automation equipment.
With the development of rolling decks for swimming pool covers, we can, subject to review, provide you with the drive system best suited to your structure
The key advantages of AKIA SYSTEM technology for swimming pool telescopic enclosure automation
The key advantage of AKIA System drive systems lies in their non-load-bearing wheel technology.
The traction generated by wheels mounted on articulated arms ensures excellent grip, while absorbing surface irregularities, level differences, and minor obstacles.
This technology ensures smooth and consistent movement on both sides of the enclosure. It compensates for any surface deformation or degradation, guaranteeing reliable operation over many years.
Soft rubber wheels provide excellent adhesion on stabilised surfaces, whether dry or wet, and on various materials, including wooden slats.
Gas struts ensure continuous and even pressure of the wheels against the ground.

A drive system based on a load-bearing wheel loses traction and driving efficiency as soon as slight depressions appear on the running surface. It can also interfere with embedded rail guidance, and this type of system is not well suited to enclosures with sliding tracks that cannot be lifted, leading to recurring operational issues.
When encountering even minor obstacles on the running surface, a load-bearing wheel drive system may lift the entire side of the enclosure, provided sufficient driving force is available to overcome the obstacle. Otherwise, one side may become blocked, potentially causing deformation of the enclosure structure.
AKIA System’s drive technology, based on articulated arms, enables obstacles to be cleared without affecting the smooth and consistent movement of the enclosure.
