01 · Overview

Vertical Operation for Limited Headroom

Vertical lifting fabric doors operate by lifting the curtain vertically into a compact housing above the opening, requiring minimal headroom compared to sectional doors that need overhead space for panel stacking. This makes them ideal for facilities with limited ceiling height or where overhead space is occupied by cranes, conveyors, or storage systems.

RAX manufactures vertical lifting fabric doors with reinforced PVC or fabric curtains, heavy-duty track systems, and servo motor drive. Opening speeds up to 1 m/s minimize energy loss during frequent access. Wind resistance rated to Class 3 (700 N/m²) with reinforced bottom bars and side guides.

These doors are essential for warehouses with limited headroom, industrial facilities with overhead obstacles, and any application where vertical operation is preferred over horizontal sliding or sectional operation.

04 · Applications

Where Vertical Lifting Doors Excel

Warehouses with Limited Headroom

Facilities with low ceilings or overhead obstacles. Vertical lifting requires only door height + 300 mm headroom. No overhead space needed for panel stacking. Maximizes usable ceiling space.

Industrial Facilities with Overhead Cranes

Manufacturing plants with overhead crane systems. Vertical lifting doors operate below crane rails. No interference with crane operation. Maintains full crane coverage.

Facilities with Conveyor Systems

Distribution centers with overhead conveyors. Vertical lifting doors install below conveyor lines. No modification to conveyor systems required.

Multi-Story Buildings

Upper-floor loading docks with limited overhead space. Vertical lifting doors fit within floor-to-ceiling constraints. Compact housing maintains building aesthetics.

Cold Storage with Low Ceilings

Freezers and chillers with limited headroom. Fast operation minimizes cold air loss. Insulated curtain options available for temperature control.

Retrofit Applications

Existing facilities where overhead space is occupied. Vertical lifting doors install without modifying existing infrastructure. Minimal construction required.
