A fast acting door is a high-speed roll-up door that minimises heat loss and climate control in industrial environments. It can be used in a variety of applications from avoiding heat loss in warehouses to protecting refrigerated rooms, and it’s ideal for businesses that require rapid access for goods coming in and out.
These doors are typically powered by a counter-balance system with spring or weight mechanisms within the side frames, allowing them to open up and close quickly and easily with minimal downtime. They are available in a variety of materials, but the best choice for most environments is a steel fast action door that’s hard-wearing and designed to resist damage.
Maximizing Productivity with a Fast Acting Door
Depending on your business, it may be necessary to protect sensitive areas from unauthorised persons or ensure authorised persons can move freely around the premises at all times. In this case a steel or aluminum fast-action door is the perfect solution. These doors can be fitted with a number of security features including anti-pinch and breakaway technology that ensures the curtain will not rub against obstacles, helping to keep both people and product safe.
A fast door opening and closing process also means that your building can remain functional in harsh weather conditions, unlike slow doors. This is a great benefit for businesses that need to keep moving with no delay and will also help to save energy costs – keeping warm air in while the cold stays out will significantly reduce your companies electricity bills.
