Keep Your Customers and Staff Safe With A Zip Speed Door

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.
