Heavy industry

Built for tough work in the most demanding conditions, our entrance solutions and equipment keep your operations running smoothly and safely. For over 30 years, we’ve helped steel mills, automotive plants, cement plants, mines and similar applications fulfil the unique needs of heavy industry.

Up to the challenge

The extremely dirty, dusty and windy environments often associated with heavy industry demand durable, reliable solutions. By minimising moving parts and adding innovative safety features, we’ve designed our doors to last for years of continuous operation and heavy traffic.  We can accommodate virtually any size opening and wind pressure as well as frequent vehicular traffic with high-speed operations.

To protect your most valuable assets – the people who work on site – we’ve included safety measures like a fail-safe that reverses automatically in the case of any contact, and a continuous wind lock to guard against wind and debris. Our industry-leading product warrantees provide additional peace of mind and assure long-term operation.
