High-speed doors are designed for openings that need to cycle frequently without slowing vehicles, materials or staff. By opening and closing quickly, they reduce the time a doorway remains exposed and help busy facilities maintain temperature, airflow and hygiene controls.
Faster traffic flow through busy openings
Warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centres often lose time when operators wait for a conventional door. Automatic controls allow a high-speed door to open as authorised traffic approaches and close after it passes. The control method can be selected for pedestrians, forklifts, vehicles or restricted-access areas.
Temperature and airflow control
Every second a doorway stays open allows conditioned air to escape. Rapid operation helps reduce air exchange between work zones, cold rooms, freezer areas and external spaces. This can support more stable internal temperatures and reduce the load on refrigeration or air-conditioning equipment.
Hygiene and separation
Food, beverage and pharmaceutical facilities use fast doors to separate processing, storage and waste-handling zones. Paired doors can also support interlocked or pressure-sensitive areas. The selected curtain, seals and controls must suit the hygiene requirements and cleaning procedures for the site.
Controls and safety options
Austcold Rapidoor systems can use push buttons, remote controls, motion detectors, inductive vehicle loops, pull switches, touchless switches or security keypads. Photo-electric safety beams and other protective devices help reduce the risk of contact with people or equipment.
Choose a model for the application
The Rapidoor range includes models for internal and external openings, freezer applications, self-repairing operation and ventilation. Opening size, wind exposure, operating cycles, temperature and traffic type determine the appropriate model and curtain construction.
Request a quote with the opening dimensions and operating conditions so Austcold can identify the most suitable Rapidoor model and controls.
