Why the Bantam®

The Bantam is an economical vinyl roll-up door alternative to other high-maintenance loading dock doors. The durable vinyl roll-up design accommodates most dock applications. Manual operation is standard via a pull-chain hoist, with optional motorized operation. When looking for dependable, low-maintenance and easy to operate roll-up shop doors or loading dock doors, look no further than the Bantam.
