Doors offer clear line of sight

It’s a fact that the transportation and storage industry have more accidents involving workplace vehicles than any other sector. Operating in a world that continually demands shorter delivery lead times while reducing overheads can add pressure and take its toll; accidents inevitably happen.

But how, as a warehouse or logistics manager can you help safeguard and minimise the risk created in bustling areas that involves the high levels of movement of people and stock.
 
Downtime as a result of accidents and near misses can be costly, but Efaflex have the needs of their users upper most when designing their high- speed doors.
Efaflex general manager Darren Turrell explains: “Efaflex have been pioneering high – speed doors since 1974. We are a company of firsts regarding design innovation, when matched with our trade mark German precision engineering makes us the product of choice for many logistics and warehousing operations.”

He adds: “To put this into perspective, whether you are choosing one of our roll up, folding or unique patented spiral door options, each features many benefits to help increase the safety of the users. Just focusing on a few here, our doors feature a transparent aperture to provide fork lift truck drivers with a clear vision of sight, and allows natural light into the building for the well-being of the staff. Our unique TÜV certified infrared EFA-TLG light grid, is an industry first. Installed directly into the side door tracks, this light curtain detects even the smallest obstacles in the door closing line. It’s suitably intelligent to prevent unintentional triggering. The last to mention is our ‘Active Crash System’ – a popular choice in areas of high volume fork lift truck operation. If there is an accidental collision, the door will fully automatically repair in seconds, retracting the door blade to eliminate expensive repairs and costly downtime.”
Aside from safety, the Efaflex high –speed doors are the unbeaten champion of speed with opening speeds up to 4 meters per second – a real benefit to reduce exposure of your warehouse to the elements and minimise costly energy bills. Designed for up to 200,000 operating cycles per year, Efaflex doors are backed with a full after sales and maintenance and service programme with options bespoke to clean room, chill, cold store, and machine protection as well as traditional commercial and industrial applications.
