How industrial section overhead doors can work for your business…
It is vital for all businesses, regardless of the sector they operate in, to have safe, strong and secure access points to their premises. This is especially true in the agriculture industry, where there are many specific considerations to bear in mind. Strict temperature controls may be required if foodstuffs are being stored, and security is often of high importance due to the presence of expensive machinery and specialist tools. Making sure you are aware of your company’s specific requirements will make the process of selecting the correct type of industrial sectional overhead door much easier.
Security with sectional overhead doors
Security is one of the main considerations when people are investing in industrial sectional overhead doors for agriculture operations. When vehicles and machinery are being stored on site, such as tractors, bailers, wood chippers or combines, protecting these assets needs to be of primary concern. Tough sectional doors are usually made of steel, aluminium or a combination of the two materials. The overall design lends itself to increased security as the sections of the door come together behind a steel framework, resulting in considerable lateral resistance. A suitable anti-lift locking system will work in tandem with the design to keep intruders out. Sectional overhead doors also open vertically, meaning more usable space is available in the building, perhaps allowing additional vehicles or equipment to be stored securely.
Controlled environments
Many businesses in the agriculture sector need access to buildings with controlled environments in order to maintain the quality of crops once harvested. Industrial sectional overhead doors can be insulated to meet industry standards and door seals, which form part of the overall construction and will help to create an environmental control barrier and maintain conditions within the building. As a result, sectional overhead doors are ideal for use on the entrances to warehouses and storage facilities where it is necessary to maintain certain temperature and protect perishable goods.
Protection
Sectional overhead doors are built to withstand heavy use, so there is no need to worry about the mechanism lasting. The presence of strong sealing strips can provide excellent protection against the elements, in particular strong winds and rain. It is also quite possible to have multiple windows built into the design of industrial sectional overhead doors. This allows maximum natural light to flood the building, while retaining the benefits of security, environmental control and noise suppression – a potentially significant problem when buildings are located in high-traffic areas on agricultural sites.
Quality
As always, it is important to buy industrial sectional overhead doors from a reputable manufacturer, and ideally one that offers a comprehensive aftersales policy should your doors need maintenance work carried out in the future.
