High Speed Doors

What is a High Speed Door?

A high speed door is a specially designed industrial door that operates at rapid cycle speeds — often several feet per second. This makes them ideal for environments where frequent access, climate control, and security are critical.

Key benefits include:

  • Faster Traffic Flow – Keeps operations moving without bottlenecks.

  • Energy Efficiency – Minimizes air exchange to reduce heating or cooling loss.

  • Improved Safety – Sensors and safety features protect workers, vehicles, and equipment.

  • Durability – Built for high-cycle operation in demanding conditions.

Common Applications

High Speed Doors are trusted across industries for:

  • Warehouses & Distribution Centers – Speed up forklift access while protecting goods.

  • Food & Beverage Facilities – Maintain sanitary, temperature-controlled environments.

  • Automotive Service Centers – Improve customer experience with faster entry and exit.

  • Cold Storage & Freezers – Reduce temperature fluctuations and energy waste.

  • Manufacturing Plants – Separate processes and reduce contamination.

  • Parking Garages – Provide secure, fast vehicle access.
