High Speed Doors

Name: RapidView high speed full-view metal door
Brand: Overhead Door

Fabric and rigid high speed doors for traffic control, climate separation, and food processing.

We specify, install, and service every high speed door from Century Avenue using our own crews. We cover 11 Maryland counties, installing everything from a single cooler door in a food plant to a run of exterior doors on a distribution building. A high speed door opens in seconds and closes behind the traffic. It is the best choice where forklifts and trucks pass all day, and temperature, dust or weather must stay on one side of the wall. The complete Overhead Door line is here: RapidFlex fabric doors, RapidFlex rubber doors, the RapidFreeze freezer and cooler door, the RapidShield metal door, and the RapidView full-view door.

Overhead Door RapidFlex 991 to 995, 995LH, RapidFreeze 997, RapidShield 998 and RapidView 999 carry a 60-month limited warranty on mechanical door components and control panel hardware. Repair or replacement labor is included for the first year. The RapidFlex 990 carries 60 months on the drive motor and gearbox, and 12 months on all other components.

RapidFlex interior flexible bottom fabric door

Model 990

Model 990 is the RapidFlex interior fabric door. It is built for safety in high-traffic manufacturing, pharmaceutical, warehouse and distribution buildings. A flexible bottom edge wrapped in yellow PVC carries the wireless monitored reversing edge. A door stop device is built into the gearbox, and two infrared sensors sit in the plane of the curtain. The curtain is two light layers of PVC-coated polyester over one polyester weave. It is strutless for lower operating noise and held at the edges by a patented curtain lock. Sizes run up to 12 ft by 12 ft at opening speeds up to 70 in per second. A springless direct gear drive and a variable frequency drive in a NEMA 4X control panel take the jolt out of every start and stop. Single phase power serves doors up to 10 ft. When a forklift catches the bottom edge, it releases from the guides. The controller reports the fault, and a push button resets it. Options include vision panels, a programmable LED light bar, a light curtain, and about 200 RAL guide colors.

RapidFreeze interior freezer and cooler door

Model 997

Model 997 RapidFreeze is the interior high speed door for freezer and cooler openings. It is built for environments where temperatures differ sharply and heat loss or condensation is a problem.

The patented quad-sealed, thermally broken guides carry active heat over their full height. This keeps the curtain moving smoothly and the guides dry. The control panel powers the guide heaters and the optional ambient or heated air curtain. Sizes run up to 12 ft wide by 18 ft high. Opening speeds reach 80 in per second, closing at 40. The composite bottom bar is a full thermal barrier. It breaks away in either direction after a forklift hit and resets from either side.
