Also searched as: Horizontal High Speed Door
The High Speed Sliding Door (horizontal high speed door) travels sideways rather than upward, making it the right rapid door where headroom is minimal or the opening is very wide – for example hangar partitions, machine-cell enclosures and wide process openings. A single or bi-parting leaf slides on a guided track to open and close quickly.
Horizontal sliding rapid doors are engineered for the same fast cycling as vertical rapid doors; exact travel speed depends on leaf mass and drive, so RAX sizes and confirms it per project rather than quoting a generic figure (market rapid doors broadly span ~0.6-2.0 m/s by type – industry synthesis).
As a pure manufacturer, RAX builds each sliding door to your exact opening and RAL color – from prototype to container-load delivery order – with wiring diagrams and English manuals for your local installers.
Sources & honesty: RAX-company facts on this page (materials, 100,000-cycle fatigue testing, certifications held, warranty, lead time) are from RAX Door Technology’s approved brand brief. Industry benchmark figures (typical opening speeds, cycle-life ranges, EN 12424 wind classes, ISO 14644-1 cleanroom classes, competitor reference points) are drawn from our sourced category research (research/high-speed-doors.md) and are marked as industry-typical or attributed to the named manufacturer. RAX’s own measured speed, U-value, wind-class certificate and cleanroom class are confirmed per project by test – we do not publish them as generic figures. Fire resistance (EN 1634-1) and ATEX suitability are project-specific capabilities, not blanket certificates.
Side-sliding single or twin leaves suit wide openings and spaces with little or no headroom.
Rigid aluminum 6063-T5 panels or flexible PVC curtain (0.9-1.2 mm) to match the duty – both manufactured by RAX.
Closed-loop servo for precise soft start/stop or VFD economy – both made in-house by RAX.
Track, hangers and drive validated against RAX’s 100,000-cycle fatigue protocol; servo motor backed by a 5-year warranty.

Provide clear opening width x height, headroom and side room – or site photos. We produce the confirmation drawing and confirm the feasible span against wind class.
Cycles per day, operating temperature range, wind exposure, and clean / cold / washdown / hazardous-area duty.
Target speed, thermal (U-value), wind (EN 12424), fire (EN 1634-1), acoustic or cleanroom class – we match the applicable standard and confirm by test.
Servo or VFD drive, sensing (radar / geomagnetic / light-curtain), safety edges and any safety-interlock or smart (WiFi/RS485) control needs.
Hangar partitions and wide process openings where vertical lift is not feasible.
Horizontal guarding doors around robotic and automated cells.
Side-opening separation between production zones and aisles.
Rapid horizontal cycling to limit air exchange between zones.
RAX supports full private-label production of the High Speed Sliding Door: custom RAL panel colors, operator matching, packaging printing and installation-manual translation (EN/ES/FR/AR/RU). Start with an OEM sample and scale to container-load branded production. Custom molds, Tooling records are archived for up to 5 years — no extra tooling fee on repeat orders, all under strict NDA.
Product standard for industrial, commercial and garage doors – the harmonized basis for CE marking. Covers mechanical and power-operated safety, wind-pressure and water-penetration resistance, thermal (U-value) and air-permeability performance, with technical documentation retained 10 years.
Safety in use of power-operated doors – operating-force limits and entrapment protection, and the test methods behind our operator safety data.
Wind-load resistance classification (Class 0-5) and the test method for doors. Class 0 denotes no declared wind performance; Class 5 (‘Exceptional’, above 1000 Pa) is set by special maker-buyer agreement.
Any opening size within the High Speed Doors range – large industrial doors from prototype to container-load, full flexibility on order quantity. Share your opening width x height (or site photos) and our engineers confirm the feasible span, wind class and drive sizing, then produce technical drawings.
Horizontal sliding rapid doors are engineered for fast cycling like vertical rapid doors, but the exact travel speed depends on leaf mass and drive selection. Market rapid doors broadly span ~0.6-2.0 m/s by type (industry synthesis); RAX sizes the drive and confirms the speed for your opening in the quotation.
Choose a horizontal sliding door when there is little or no headroom above the opening, or when the opening is very wide – situations where a vertical roll-up or spiral door cannot fit. A single sliding leaf suits narrower openings; a bi-parting twin-leaf layout opens very wide spans faster. Send us the opening width, height and available headroom and we will confirm the configuration.
We are a pure manufacturer and do not provide on-site installation. Every order ships with an English installation manual, wiring diagrams for your local installation team; operators are pre-set and tested before dispatch.
RAX holds ISO 9001:2015 and CE to EN 13241 (industrial door) and EN 12453 (operator safety), with SGS material reports and product liability insurance. Fire resistance (EI60/EI120) and an EN 12424 wind-load class are project-specific capabilities we test and certify per order against the matching standard – we do not overclaim a blanket rating.
