High-speed, roll-up industrial rubber doors have been on the market for decades, but they entered mainstream use in just the last 5 to 10 years, serving in a variety of applications, including loading docks and interior and exterior openings.
Rubber doors are becoming increasingly utilized and acknowledged for their durability and toughness in demanding, unforgiving environments, particularly:
Pulp & paper
Oil & gas
Heavy manufacturing
Food processing
Bus transit
Steel
Military facilities
Designed and manufactured to withstand temperature extremes, high wind loads and heavy-duty cycle requirements – in addition to workplace punishment, such as impacts – rubber doors are being deployed in ever-growing numbers. And manufacturers continue to add value to their rubber door offerings – making them safer, more productive, easier to use and maintain, and even capable of linking wirelessly with data collection platforms.
