High Speed Door Maintenance Checklist: The Fast Lane

Peak hour at the dock, and the rapid door stops halfway down. No alarm, no error code, just a curtain hanging still while the trailer queue grows behind it. The tear that caused it began as a fingernail-sized split at the guide entry. It grew wider every time the curtain ran at full speed.

High Speed Door Air Curtain Systems: Better Together

The new high speed door arrived, it cycles at full speed, and the doorway still feels wrong. There is fog at the cold store header, dust on the packing line, and a heating bill that barely moved. That gap between a fast door and a settled opening is exactly where a high speed door air ... <a title="High Speed Door Air Curtain Systems: Better Together" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-air-curtain-combo/" aria-label="Read more about High Speed Door Air Curtain Systems: Better Together">Read more</a>

High Speed Door Vision Window: Replace or Rebuild?

A driver stops a metre inside a high speed door and stays there, because from the cab the far side is a white blank. Nothing is wrong with the door or the operator. The high speed door vision window fitted three years ago has gone yellow and cloudy, and it is the only thing that ... <a title="High Speed Door Vision Window: Replace or Rebuild?" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-vision-window-replace/" aria-label="Read more about High Speed Door Vision Window: Replace or Rebuild?">Read more</a>

High Speed Doors vs Sectional Doors: Where Each Wins

The floor plan flatters every opening. Two doors get drawn with the same rectangle and the same arrow, one between the production hall and the dispatch corridor, one in the external wall where the trucks queue. On paper both are “an opening that closes”. In operation, one wants to move a pallet every ninety seconds ... <a title="High Speed Doors vs Sectional Doors: Where Each Wins" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-vs-sectional-door/" aria-label="Read more about High Speed Doors vs Sectional Doors: Where Each Wins">Read more</a>

High Speed Door Curtain Materials: What to Specify

Monday morning, three quotations on the bench, and every one of them says the same thing on the curtain line: PVC curtain. The prices sit twenty percent apart, yet the comparison sheet has no row that explains the gap. The buyer knows door size, drive type and opening speed. Nobody ever taught him which lines ... <a title="High Speed Door Curtain Materials: What to Specify" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-curtain-materials/" aria-label="Read more about High Speed Door Curtain Materials: What to Specify">Read more</a>

High Speed Door Opening Speed: Match It to Traffic

Monday peak, second bay, and the forklifts are lining up again. The first door clears a truck every twenty seconds; the second one backs up traffic every time two pallets cross paths in front of it. Both openings carry roughly the same number on their spec sheets, a pair of high speed doors rated alike ... <a title="High Speed Door Opening Speed: Match It to Traffic" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-open-speed-selection/" aria-label="Read more about High Speed Door Opening Speed: Match It to Traffic">Read more</a>

PVC Strip Curtains vs High Speed Doors: Traffic Decides

Walk any busy plant and you pass both barriers within a minute. A strip curtain gets shouldered apart by pedestrians; a high speed door swallows a forklift at the dispatch bay. Few facility managers were ever handed a ruler that measures which opening needs which. We manufacture these doors and their hardware on our own ... <a title="PVC Strip Curtains vs High Speed Doors: Traffic Decides" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/pvc-strip-curtains-vs-high-speed-doors/" aria-label="Read more about PVC Strip Curtains vs High Speed Doors: Traffic Decides">Read more</a>

How to Read a High Speed Door Control Panel

The shift changes at ten, and a forklift is waiting at a high speed door that will not move. The control panel glows with a short code nobody in the building can read. Someone suggests bypassing the photocells to get the line running, and the safety manager has to say no before anyone says yes. ... <a title="How to Read a High Speed Door Control Panel" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-control-panel-guide/" aria-label="Read more about How to Read a High Speed Door Control Panel">Read more</a>

High Speed Door Safety Features Buyers Should Demand

A high speed door opens hundreds of times a day above the same aisle where forklifts and people cross. That pace is why its safety features deserve a specification line of their own. When the spec sheet only records opening speed and cycle rating, nobody can say what stops the curtain before it meets a ... <a title="High Speed Door Safety Features Buyers Should Demand" class="read-more" href="https://www.raxdoors.com/blog/high-speed-door-safety-features-guide/" aria-label="Read more about High Speed Door Safety Features Buyers Should Demand">Read more</a>
