Also searched as double acting swing door, impact door and self-closing traffic door.
A self-closing swing door that takes repeated impact from trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts and swings straight back into place — flexible impact-absorbing panels, full vision and no power needed. Built to your opening, from prototype to full production runs.
One idea: a doorway that traffic passes through hundreds of times a day — pushed open by hand, trolley or forklift, then closing itself behind — without a motor, a sensor, or a panel that cracks on the first hit.
In food plants, warehouses and process areas, certain doorways never stop moving. A rigid door there either stays propped open — defeating hygiene, climate and insect control — or gets battered until the panels crack and the hinges sag. An impact traffic door is built for exactly this duty: double-acting leaves swing both ways on spring or gravity hinges, flexible panels absorb the impact of trolleys and loads, and the door self-closes every time to keep the separation intact.
RAX builds each impact door to your opening and your traffic, with flexible PVC or fabric-faced panels, full-length vision windows and stainless or galvanized hardware. It needs no power, so it keeps working through washdown and outages, and it ships with technical drawings and an English manual for fast local fitting.
Panel thickness and vision options shown are industry-typical for impact traffic doors and confirmed on your specification. Substrate and hardware options (galvanized steel, stainless 304 / 316, PVC coated fabric) are from the RAX material range; the build for your environment is confirmed per project.
Every door is engineered to your opening. The values below are the validated baseline; final figures are confirmed on your specification. Each row states whether the value is RAX-measured, an industry-typical range, or per project.

| Hardware | Stainless steel 304 / 316 or galvanized hinges, frames and fixings to suit the environment. | RAX build |
| Cycle Life | 100,000 cycles validated in the RAX 100,000-cycle fatigue test lab. | RAX-measured |
| Sealing | Silicone rubber edge and perimeter seals; optional compression sealing for climate zones. | RAX build |

| Colour / Finish | Full RAL custom on frames (common RAL9006, RAL9010, RAL7016, RAL5010); coloured PVC faces. | RAX build |
| Max Opening | Custom to your opening — confirm feasible span on technical layout. | Per project |
Need a specific panel duty or hygiene build for your plant? Send your traffic type and washdown regime and our engineers confirm the panel and hardware on the technical layout.
Validated substrates, processed in-house on a CNC punching / bending centre. No outsourcing of the structural parts.
High-traffic internal doorways that need separation without slowing the flow.
Your installers get the full document set before the door ships — the same package our EPC and distributor clients rely on.
Certificates we hold today, and the project-specific test data we arrange against the matching standard. We state held versus per-project so you can tender honestly.
Rigorous 100,000-cycle fatigue testing, validated galvanized and stainless steel materials, and precision manufacturing — performed in-house, not outsourced.
Large industrial doors from prototype to container-load delivery. Start with an OEM sample and scale to container-load branded production.
Every impact door is built to your opening and your traffic. Send the clear opening size, the traffic type and the washdown regime (or site photos) and our engineers return a proposal, technical confirmation and lead time.
From custom engineering to container-load delivery — the document set your local installers need.
Warranty: door body 2 years · operator/motor 3 years · servo motor 5 years. Free spare parts within warranty (DHL/FedEx 5–7 days). Lead time: sample 7–15 days · standard container 12–20 days · custom first order 20–35 days.
The leaves are hung on spring or gravity hinges so they swing freely in both directions. A person, trolley or forklift pushes through, and the hinges automatically return the leaves to the closed position behind them. There is no motor, sensor or power supply, so the door keeps working through washdown and power outages while still maintaining the separation between zones.
That is the design purpose. The panels are flexible PVC or fabric-faced constructions that absorb impact and spring back into shape rather than denting or cracking like rigid panels. Panel thickness and construction are matched to your traffic intensity — heavier duty for frequent forklift use, lighter duty for pedestrian and trolley traffic — and confirmed on the technical layout.
Yes. Impact traffic doors are widely used in food plants. For washdown and food-grade areas we build with stainless steel 304 / 316 frames, hinges and fixings, smooth cleanable faces and silicone seals that tolerate repeated cleaning. Send your washdown regime and our engineers confirm the hygiene build per project.
Yes. Every door is engineered to your clear opening width and height, or from site photos. Every door is built to your non-standard size, in any RAL colour. Our engineers confirm the feasible size and produce a technical proposal for approval before production.
RAX holds ISO 9001:2015, CE marking against EN 13241 (industrial door product standard) and EN 12453 (operator safety), plus SGS material reports and Product Liability Insurance. The hygiene build and AS/NZS 4505 / UL counterpart test data are confirmed per project, not held as standing certificates.
Sample orders run 7–15 days, a standard container 12–20 days, and a custom first order 20–35 days (repeat custom orders 15–20 days). FOB ports are Tianjin and Qingdao; FCL and LCL are both supported.
Every order includes wiring diagrams, an English installation manual, FAI first-article confirmation and pre-assembly photos, a factory inspection report (speed, noise, insulation resistance, visual), the 100,000-cycle fatigue test video/report, and the CE Declaration of Conformity with the EN 13241 test report.
Send your opening size (W × H), the traffic type and the washdown regime. Our engineers reply with a proposal and lead time — no obligation.
