High-Speed Dock Doors’ greatest benefit is their time-saving efficiency. They are generally made of a fabric material like vinyl, and their main function is open and close quickly. High-speed dock doors are typically more aesthetically pleasing and are a great choice for customer-facing industrial applications.
Rolling Dock Doors are usually lightweight and consist of panels that roll up or to the side. They're often made of aluminum or steel and have the greatest ability to meet a variety of height limitations. However, they do rank lower on the security and insulation scale than other door types.
Sectional Dock Doors, otherwise known as paneled dock doors, are what are normally seen in industrial warehouse facilities. They can operate with a controller that simplifies opening and closing. They are constructed for heavy use and, typically, require less maintenance. This also makes them ideal for those larger industrial spaces.
Knock Out Dock Doors offer the most in terms of durability because of their resilience to impact. They are essentially modified sectional dock doors with the ability to flex on contact. They will offer the quickest recovery time in case of an accident. Normally, they can be simply popped back in place and continue to function properly.
