When you think of industrial doors, you often think of external
doors at the rear of warehouse loading bays.
However, internal high speed doors are also widely used – just think of
retail stores which need to separate the public section of the shop from the
commercial storage area, or perhaps industrial food preparation spaces which
need to isolate specific areas.
Fast Action
Retail stores and warehouses are very busy environments and
time is precious. Workers therefore need
to keep the amount of time they spend waiting for an industrial door to open to
an absolute minimum, which is why they could benefit from having a Zip Speed
Door fitted. These doors can
operate at up to 2 metres per second, therefore cutting the time which the
workers may have previously had to wait to move from one area to another. The fast action door will also help to
prevent the risk of a customer mistakenly wandering into a private area, where
their safety could be put at risk.
Safety
Health and safety is of paramount importance for employers
and store managers – not only do the staff need to be protected from potential
risk, but customers and visitors to the premises will also need to be too. Internal high speed doors can be brightly
coloured, standing out clearly within a retail store in order to alert
customers to the fact that they need to keep away from the door area. The doors contain a safety photo cell which
will immediately stop the door from closing should there be an obstruction.
Vision Windows
Clear vision windows incorporated into the panel of the door
will allow workers to view between areas if necessary. This allows staff to look
out for a potential obstruction prior to them opening the door. Once they can see that a doorway is clear,
they can then proceed to open the door in a safe manner.
Pest Control
Many warehouse struggle with managing pests such as rodents
or birds, but the Zip Speed Door can help to reduce the flow of vermin between
areas within a building. The pests are
more easily contained in a particular area of the premises, therefore making
pest control measures much simpler.

of beneficial features and can be used for a number of different environments. To find out more about whether they would
