High Speed Doors
Our high speed doors are the perfect solution for both light and heavy-duty use in demanding industrial environments. From factories and warehouses to distribution hubs and cold storage facilities, these high speed doors offer rapid operation that helps maintain optimal temperatures, cut energy loss, block out dirt, pests, and noise, and streamline logistics for maximum efficiency.
What is an Industrial High Speed Door?
A high speed door is a large, motorised door used in industrial and commercial buildings. Similar in concept to a large roller blind that you would generally see on windows in a domestic kitchen or bathroom, these doors open and close quickly to accommodate high-volumes of traffic. Our high speed roller shutter doors are typically automated, making them ideal for environments where efficiency and environmental control are crucial.
Are High Speed Doors called by different names?
Yes, there are various names for this type of door, including:
- Rapid rise door
- Fast roller door
- Quick action door
- Rapid roll door
- Speed door
- Fast acting door
The terminology High Speed Door is the most popular.
What Are They Used For?
High speed doors are required for segregation of different areas in industrial or commercial buildings, usually where environmental control is required. These high speed roller shutter doors accommodate various types of traffic, including pedestrians, forklifts, pallet trucks, and conveyors. Common uses for our high speed door products include:
Environmental Control
Preventing heat loss, cold air ingress, and contamination in temperature-sensitive areas (i.e. +5°C to -22°C).
Hygiene Maintenance
Maintaining positive or negative air pressure between areas to uphold stringent hygiene standards.
Automation & Conveyors
Sealing openings where automated systems or conveyors pass products between different temperature zones, such as from ambient to chilled or chilled to freezer areas.
Ingress Control
Controlling contamination by keeping out birds, vermin, insects, noise, and dust, thereby ensuring compliance with industry audits.
What Are The Benefits of High Speed Doors?
