Industrial Overhead Doors and Their Advantages

What are industrial overhead doors?

Industrial overhead doors are composed of a series of door panels (commonly made of metal or fabric) that rise along a track. Industrial overhead doors have an imposing appearance design and provide a comfortable experience; the stable and grand operation of larger industrial products can offer a strong visual impact. The balance of the door body is ensured by a torsion spring system or counterweight system, and the different track systems and lift methods allow industrial overhead doors to adapt to various buildings, with multiple color options available. Its flexible characteristics make it suitable for almost any building exterior.

An industrial overhead door is also known as a sectional door or up-and-over door. Based on different operating methods, industrial doors are categorized into standard lift industrial doors, vertical lift industrial doors, high-position lift industrial doors, horizontal sliding lift industrial doors, sectional lift industrial doors, special lift industrial doors, and European industrial rolling shutters.

Applications of industrial overhead doors

Applicable industries and scenarios: pharmaceutical, food, electronics, printing, supermarkets, and other production facilities and areas with high cleanliness requirements, featuring beautiful appearance, high strength, safety and reliability, smooth opening, low noise, good sealing and insulation performance, space-saving, and improved production efficiency. Due to its low installation requirements and high practicality, it is widely used.

1. Standard lift: suitable for top space of the door within 200-300mm.

2. High-position lift: suitable for top space of the door at >300mm and < door height

3. Vertical lift: suitable for top space of the door that is ≥ door opening height

4. Slanted top lift: suitable for sloped ceiling shapes, with tracks parallel to the ceiling

① Vertical (with Inclined Lift)

② Vertical Lift (with 90° Turn)

③ Standard (90°) Lift Method

④ Inclined Lift

⑤ Complete (Vertical Lift)

Advantages of industrial overhead doors

Industrial overhead doors use galvanized steel sheets, offering stronger fire resistance than rolling shutters. The motors used have more functions, and various switch modes such as ground loops, radar, and infrared are available, along with low noise and faster speed, though they are more expensive than rolling shutters.

1. Strong Applicability

Industrial overhead doors can be custom-designed based on the structural characteristics of industrial buildings. With sufficient upper space, the lift door can open vertically, lying flat against the upper wall inside the door opening, without occupying any indoor space. It fully utilizes vertical lifting, not occupying the sides of the door opening, maximizing the release of door opening space.

2. Convenience and Aesthetics

Industrial overhead doors use a torsion spring balance system to balance the weight of the door, allowing easy operation without a motor, changing the mode of operation relying solely on the motor, and increasing the convenience of use.

The material of industrial overhead doors is double-layer galvanized steel filled with polyurethane foam. The total door thickness reaches 40mm, with an embossed design on the surface, making the door panels durable, easy to clean, and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the corporate image.

3. Insulation

The double-layer steel of industrial overhead doors reduces thermal energy consumption, with an internal 42kg/m3 high-density polyurethane insulation layer, providing excellent insulation effects.

4. Noise Isolation

Industrial overhead doors operate with very low noise. The galvanized pulley seats have adjustable ball bearings and wear-resistant rubber wheels, ensuring silent opening and closing, overcoming the high noise issue of rolling shutters, and providing smoother operation.

5. Good Air Tightness

Industrial overhead doors have excellent air tightness, effectively preventing external air and dust from entering, ensuring a clean and stable indoor environment.
