High-Speed Fabric Doors Keep Manufacturing Warehouse Facilities Moving

Manufacturing Doors

When selecting a door for a manufacturing warehouse, several important factors to consider include logistics, cost, ease of use, durability and longevity. Quality, performance and reliability are also required to maintain efficient, round-the-clock operations.

High-speed fabric doors can help warehouses increase productivity, reduce energy costs and improve safety and traffic flow compared to older sectional doors or less reliable fabric doors.

  • Indoor and outdoor use – These doors can be used in both internal and external applications. For external use, they can be equipped with ribs or bars for additional wind resistance.
  • Fast speeds – Opening speeds up to 100 inches per second help manufacturers keep raw materials, components and finished products moving – fast.
  • Self-repairing – Most manufacturing environments use forklifts and other vehicles. In the event of a vehicle-door collision, high-performance doors equipped with quick-repair features make it possible to have doors back in action in a matter of minutes.
  • Control the environment – High-speed doors reduce air exchange between comfort-controlled interior environments and the weather outside.
  • Highly reliable – Reliable, high-performance doors are engineered to withstand the daily rigors of use for millions of operating cycles.
