Industrial Doors for Warehouses and Logistics Centres
A distribution centre is judged on throughput per bay, and every door on the envelope either supports that number or quietly costs it. The specification follows the traffic: dock doors that open hundreds of times a day, internal doors between ambient and temperature-controlled zones, and access openings for MHE that must not be left propped. Wind load, seal quality and the interface with the dock leveller matter more than leaf thickness, because a door that does not seal against the trailer breaks the temperature chain and a door that does not resist wind will not stay closed on an exposed site.
Condições da obra
- Doors propped open during peak dispatch break the temperature chain and let dust into the picking area.
- Dock openings without proper seals leak air around the trailer, so refrigeration runs continuously.
- A high speed door sized for a car park is installed at a truck bay and the curtain fatigues within a year.
- Wind load on an exposed site racks the guides and the door jams mid-travel.
- Dock levellers, seals and doors come from three vendors, and nobody owns the interface.
Como a porta é especificada
- Installation: door, leveller and seal should be set out from one bay drawing so the seals meet the trailer, not the wall.
- Documents: bay-by-bay table (opening size, trailer type, cycles per day, temperature zone) is the basis for sizing.
- Maintenance: monthly curtain and guide inspection on high-traffic doors; annual wind-bar and spring check.
