Possibly when the "entrance" is open as the door is retracted

I suspect there is no corresponding concept in English, and that the notion of refoulement is simply overcome by the terminology used in English. While French has porte sectionnelle à refoulement au plafond and porte sectionnelle à refoulement latéral , we have 'overhead sectional door' and 'side-(opening) sectional door'.

La porte sectionnelle à refoulement au plafond est composée de sections horizontales adaptées à la hauteur d'ouverture.La porte est actionnée au moyen de galets de roulement tandem et de galets de guidage vers le haut ou vers le bas dans les rails de guidage du dormant latéral . La porte s'ouvre vers le haut, suit les rails de guidage en courbe et est poussée tout en haut vers l'arrière dans les rails de guidage au plafond

The Overhead Sectional Door comprises horizontal sections cut to the correct opening width.The door is fitted into the side architrave tracks with the tandem pulleys and the top and bottom guide pulleys. The door opens upwards via the track cams and is guided up and back along the ceiling tracks

Of course this begs the question "What is meant by refoulement horizontal?" Do they mean the door is horizontal in the overhead position, or does it move horizontally to a lateral position?

Either way, I can think of nothing better than 'for (horizontal) parking'.

"So what would happen is when the door is 100% up, and in the "parked" position, both cables would be tight."

"The first thing to do is to check the safety sensors. As the name implies, these are meant to stop the door from moving and return it to its parked position if the system senses something in the way."

When my brother, formerly of Christchurch Garage Door Services (New Zealand), comes on line, I'll see what he has to say.

Peer comment(s):

neutral SafeTex : Hello Bourth. I'm sure you are right as to what this means, but "a garage door in the parked position"? We just would not say this. I have suggested "retracted" but even if you don't like that, "open" is more likely than parked IMHO

unloading

I think we're talking about the dumping of materials.
Peer comment(s):

neutral SafeTex : Horzontal dumping? Dumping up to 3500 mm? it's very rare that I give a disagree when I have a suggestion up but I would have disagreed in normal circumstances
