Fast Equipment High Performance Doors

The best high-speed doors operate up to 100” per second—a direct contrast to the average 8” per second of conventional doors. The impact of such hardware dramatically increases workflow and reduces energy consumption. They also have fewer maintenance needs as conventional doors are not designed for such a heavy workload. Efficient opening and closing also benefit security and environmental control.

Thanks to their speed, high-performance doors allow traffic to flow unimpeded. This is hugely beneficial to product movements, meaning higher levels of productivity are achieved. Optimizing traffic flow, improving working conditions, and increasing facility throughput are crucial ways to maximize working practices—something that every logistics manager is always striving to improve.

Fast opening and closing speeds play a significant role in keeping cool or heat in the place it’s meant to be.  In turn, this positively impacts power requirements, meaning facilities pay less energy bills to keep an ambient temperature. The same holds true for humidity control. The shorter the time a door remains open, the less exchange of air, heat, and moisture takes place.

Every time a door opens represents a potential opportunity for a security breach. This could be unauthorized people or even rodents—something that can wreak havoc on any product inventory and have serious health implications. Fast, efficient access and egress are vital elements of any facility’s blueprint, making it essential to fit doors that are fit for purpose in high traffic areas.
