Fast action doors, also known as rapid roll or high-speed doors, offer several advantages for warehouse facilities, enhancing both efficiency and safety. Here are the key benefits:
1. Improved Productivity and Workflow
- Reduced Waiting Times: Fast action doors open and close quickly, reducing the time workers and vehicles spend waiting for access. This minimizes bottlenecks and improves workflow.
- Efficient Material Handling: With faster access, forklifts and other vehicles can move between different areas more rapidly, optimizing internal logistics.
2. Energy Efficiency
- Minimized Heat/Cooling Loss: The quick operation minimizes the amount of time doors are open, reducing air exchange and helping to maintain internal temperatures. This is crucial in climate-controlled environments, such as cold storage or temperature-sensitive areas.
- Lower Energy Costs: By preserving indoor temperatures, these doors help lower energy consumption related to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
3. Enhanced Safety
- Reduced Risk of Accidents: Fast action doors often come with safety sensors and features that detect objects or people in the path, preventing accidents during operation.
- Controlled Traffic Flow: They help manage the movement of people, machinery, and goods in busy areas, reducing the risk of collisions.
- Added safety Features: Some brands of High Speed Doors such as the Movidor Range of Fast Action Doors, offer additional safety features such as the LED Integrated Traffic Lights. The Movidor High Speed Rapid Door Range were designed with safety in mind; our close-knit team of Australian designers and engineers have designed a bespoke feature which lets operators know when the door is safe to operate / enter / exit and will illuminate via LED Lights, watch the video here to find out more: click here.
4. Improved Hygiene and Cleanliness
- Dust and Contaminant Control: Their quick operation limits the amount of dust, dirt, and other contaminants that can enter sensitive areas, such as food storage or pharmaceutical facilities.
- Pest Prevention: By closing rapidly, these doors also help prevent pests from entering, which is crucial in food production or warehousing.
5. Durability and Low Maintenance
- High Durability: Fast-action doors are often designed to withstand high traffic, harsh weather conditions, and frequent use, leading to a longer operational lifespan.
- Self-Repairing Options: Some models come with a self-repairing mechanism, reducing downtime and repair costs. The Movidor High Speed Rapid Door Range are designed to lower maintenance costs and call outs by 'self-repairing' on impact. If a delivery or forklift driver accidentally dislodges the curtain from the guides, the Movidor Range of Rapid Doors can automatically re-align themselves. This eliminates the need for service calls or downtime. Watch the video testimonial here to find out more.
6. Compliance with Industry Regulations
- Meeting Health and Safety Standards: In industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, or chemical storage, fast action doors can help maintain conditions that meet strict hygiene and safety regulations.
