Industrial Sliding Door

Q: What track system is best for my sliding door — ground track or top-hung?

Ground-track systems handle heavier doors and higher wind loads — ideal for exterior hangar and warehouse doors on exposed sites. Top-hung cantilever systems keep the floor clear (no trip hazard) — preferred for food/pharma facilities and high forklift-traffic areas. The choice depends on door weight, wind zone, and floor condition. RAX engineers will recommend the optimal configuration based on your site parameters.

Q: What certifications does the Industrial Sliding Door carry?

Held: ISO 9001:2015; CE to EN 13241 (industrial door) and EN 12453 (operator safety); SGS material reports; Product Liability Insurance. Can support AS/NZS 4505 (Australia) and UL (North America) counterpart test data. Capability (per project): Fire rating EI60/EI120 (requires EN 1634-1 test); ATEX Ex d IIB T4 motor for hazardous-area projects.

Industrial Sliding Door — RAX Door Technology

01 · Overview

Industrial Sliding Door at a Glance

The RAX Industrial Sliding Door is engineered for large-span openings where a laterally sliding panel system is the most space-efficient solution. Unlike sectional doors that curve overhead, sliding doors travel parallel to the wall line — making them the preferred choice for warehouses with limited headroom, aircraft hangars, shipyard buildings, and manufacturing facilities where ceiling space is occupied by cranes, ductwork, or sprinkler systems.

As a pure manufacturer since 1999 with a 11,000 m² production base and 20+ R&D engineers, RAX produces each sliding door to your exact opening dimensions — from a single unit, with no minimum order. Every door is factory-tested against a 100,000-cycle fatigue protocol and shipped with complete installation guides, wiring diagrams, and English manuals for your local installation team. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Industrial sliding doors in the export market commonly span openings up to approximately W 10,000–12,000 mm for single-panel steel constructions. For wider openings such as aircraft hangars (span classes from < 30 m to > 120 m per Wikipedia), multi-panel sliding configurations or specialised hangar door systems are engineered per project. The EN 12424 wind load classification (Class 0–5) applies, with large exterior doors on exposed sites typically requiring Class 3–5.

04 · Structure & Materials

Material Selection Guide

Galvanized Steel (0.4–1.5 mm)

Standard choice for warehouses and factories. Cost-effective, strong, and corrosion-resistant with zinc coating. Best for inland, dry-to-moderate environments. Surface: polyester coating in any RAL color. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Aluminium 6063-T5

Lighter weight for manual-operate or high-cycle applications. Natural corrosion resistance. Suitable for coastal facilities and food processing plants where weight reduction matters. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Stainless Steel 304 / 316

304 (~18% Cr / 8% Ni) for general food-grade and washdown environments (breweries, dairy). 316 (+2–3% Mo) for high-chloride / marine / chemical environments (seafood processing, coastal plants). Both withstand CIP cleaning at 80–90° C.

PU Foam Insulated Panel (40–50 mm)

For cold storage, temperature-controlled logistics, and energy-compliant buildings. Panel core density optimised for thermal performance. Available in all steel or aluminium skins. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

05 · Model & Configuration Selection

Model & Configuration Selection

Single-Panel Sliding

One solid panel slides laterally on a ground track or top-hung rail. Best for openings up to ~10–12 m width. Simple, reliable, minimal maintenance. Ideal for warehouse loading bays and factory partitions.

Bi-Parting Sliding

Two panels part from the centre, each sliding to one side. Halves the wall-space needed per side. Suitable for openings 8–20 m+ where wall run-back space is available on both sides.

Multi-Panel Telescopic

Multiple panels stack behind each other for very wide openings. Used in hangar and shipyard applications. Requires detailed structural engineering and foundation load calculations.

Track Type Selection

Ground-track: heavy-duty, handles high wind loads, suited for exterior hangar/warehouse doors. Top-hung cantilever: clean floor (no trip hazard), ideal for food/pharma and forklift-traffic areas. Selection depends on door weight, wind zone, and floor condition.

What sizes can the Industrial Sliding Door be made in?

RAX custom-manufactures to any opening size — large industrial doors from 1 unit, no MOQ. For reference, single-panel steel sliding doors in the export market commonly reach ~W 10,000–12,000 mm. For wider openings (aircraft hangars, shipyards), multi-panel telescopic configurations are engineered per project. Hangar span classes range from < 30 m to > 120 m. [SOURCED: jc68.com; Wikipedia] Share your opening width × height and our engineers confirm the feasible span with technical drawings.

What track system is best for my sliding door — ground track or top-hung?

Ground-track systems handle heavier doors and higher wind loads — ideal for exterior hangar and warehouse doors on exposed sites. Top-hung cantilever systems keep the floor clear (no trip hazard) — preferred for food/pharma facilities and high forklift-traffic areas. The choice depends on door weight, wind zone, and floor condition. RAX engineers will recommend the optimal configuration based on your site parameters.

What wind load class can the sliding door achieve?

EN 12424 classifies wind load from Class 0 (no rating) to Class 5 (> 1,000 Pa). [SOURCED: EN 12424] Large exterior sliding doors on exposed sites typically need Class 3–5. The achievable class depends on opening span, panel gauge, and structural reinforcement (mullions, heavier-gauge steel). RAX marketing claims “Wind Load Class 5 Certified” for the spiral high speed door range; for sliding doors, the specific EN 12424 class is confirmed per project based on your opening dimensions and site wind data. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Which material should I choose for a corrosive or washdown environment?

For most food-grade and washdown environments (breweries, dairy, general food processing), stainless steel 304 (~18% Cr / 8% Ni) is the standard choice and withstands CIP cleaning at 80–90° C. For high-chloride or marine environments (seafood processing, coastal plants, chemical washdown), specify 316 stainless (+2–3% Mo) for chloride resistance. Avoid chloride stress corrosion cracking above ~60° C in wet insulated conditions. RAX stocks both 304 and 316 grades. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Do you provide installation for the Industrial Sliding Door?

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. FOB ports: Tianjin or Qingdao; FCL & LCL supported. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Capability (per project): Fire rating EI60/EI120 (requires EN 1634-1 test); ATEX Ex d IIB T4 motor for hazardous-area projects. [SOURCED — RAX claim]

Can you OEM / private-label this product?

Yes. RAL panel colors, operator matching, packaging printing and manual translation (EN/ES/FR/AR/RU) are all supported, from a 1-unit OEM sample to container-load branded production. Tooling records archived up to 5 years; no extra tooling fee on repeat orders; strict NDA protection. [SOURCED — RAX claim]
