Preparing For Your Loading Dock Project 

Some typical questions we get asked and that we can help you with to understand your docks and doors:

Sectional Doors

What R-value am I wanting to achieve?

Do impactable doors make sense in my application?

What lift configuration works best for my opening?

2” or 3” track?

Photo eyes or sensing edge?

What options for operators are available?

How can I interlock my dock door with my dock equipment for safety?

High Speed Doors

Interior or exterior door? Positive or negative pressure?

How fast do I need it to open and close?

Mostly fork truck or pedestrian traffic or a mix?

How do I want to activate the door? Push button, motion/presence sensors, pull cords, floor loops, remote control, etc.?

What environment will the door be installed in (clean room, freezer, cooler, high pressure, pharmaceutical, heavy manufacturing)?

What is needed for a proper mounting surface for a high speed door?

HLVS Fans
