Best Reasons To Buy Rubber Doors: #2 – Impactable
May 14, 2018by Sarah MartiGeneral
Break Away From Damage
One of the most frustrating things for businesses is having to repair or replace expensive things due to damage caused by employees. Specifically, dock doors, warehouse doors, and other commercial doors are frequently damaged by employees hitting them with forklifts or other machinery. In many cases, doors need to be repaired after even a minor collision, and often times hitting the right spot can cause the door to need a full replacement.
Rubber Doors are Impactable
Because of the nature of rubber and its flexibility, rubber doors can be completely impactable. The rubber can flex and stretch where metals would bend or break and avoid almost all damage from collision. PerforMax Global’s commercial roll up doors are also designed to break away from their guides in the event of an impact. The door will simply get out of the way, roll back up to the top of the guides, and then reset itself allowing it to be used normally within seconds.
Repair Cost Savings
Roll up door repair is expensive. Companies that have dozens or even hundreds of dock doors on location cannot afford the downtime or expense of having a dock door damaged by an employee accident. Rubber doors reduce and even eliminate that loss by being impactable. Instead of having a repair bill in the thousands after parts and labor, PerforMax Global rubber doors simply breakaway and reset themselves, allowing your business to continue without any issues and your profits to keep coming in.
Reduce Your Downtime
Impact to a steel door can be a death sentence to your business. If someone crashes into it causing damage, the door is unusable until a door maintenance technician comes out to repair it. New tracks, new slats, or new springs could just be the beginning of the problems. If the door is damaged beyond repair, you will need to purchase an entirely new roll-up door to replace it. While all of these decisions are being made and orders being place, time adds up quickly and business suffers.
When your door is damaged and you inevitably have to replace it, choose to replace it with a rubber roll up door and stop worrying about impact damage for good.
