The careful equilibrium of speed, security, and stability is critical for any warehouse facility. Yet, the true heroes within this complex equation are the entry systems that make this vital harmony possible. More often than not, these systems go unheralded until a serious breakdown occurs. As a facility manager invested in long-term viability, selecting the right kind of entrance solution should be among the highest priorities.
From a structural and mechanical standpoint, the overhead sectional door system is the preferred solution. This industrial-strength system consists of a series of rigid steel panels that travel in vertical tracks-as opposed to less substantial rolling door curtains or even light fabric ones. At Seppes Doors, we pride ourselves over a decade and a half of innovation, research, and the engineering experience necessary to bring this superior door type to market, from our extensive production facility of more than 20,000 sq. meters. Here are four key reasons that make our overhead sectional doors the reliable choice for your business.
Robust Construction That Withstands Daily Punishment
Warehouses aren’t nice places. A fork truck dings against a guide rail. An out-of-shape pallet hits the door panel.
That overhead sectional door is going up and down dozens of times a day. In order to deal with the abuse, each sectional door is constructed of interlocked steel panels. Those panels are hardened with zinc galvanized hardware, and each steel door panel is joined by heavy duty hinges that form a sturdy, unyielding barrier. Seppes Door’s warehouse sectional doors are made with a fully automated production process which gives an extremely tight and even fit of each steel door panel with precise alignment of the guide rails. Because of that, the sectional doors are highly resistant to warping, sagging, or distortion, even under demanding industrial conditions. In addition, the sectional door’s counterbalance spring system is rated for more than 25,000 operations. For maximum safety, it is also equipped with spring break and cable break devices to prevent the door from dropping unexpectedly. A warehouse operator just needs less emergency repairs and less downtime.
Superior Insulation for Energy Cost Control
It is no surprise that warehouses can be difficult to heat and cool, given all the open air inside. Each time the door opens, conditioned air is released, prompting your heating and cooling to work overtime. That's why, a full-height warehouse sectional overhead door is such an innovative, energy-saving solution.
Our doors use high density polyurethane foam injected into each section, coupled with interlocking thermal breaks along all meeting edges and double-seal weatherstripping, all to create a virtually air-tight seal when closed.
Seppes Doors' production meets current European standards for insulation, so your indoor warehouse temperature will stay consistent even when the temperature drops to zero. If you're running a cold storage warehouse or a facility that needs temperature-controlled space, Seppes overhead sectional doors will ensure you aren't losing valuable energy and dollars through the door – the investment pays for itself from year one.
Advanced Safety Features and Load Protection
More than just mechanically sound, the overhead sectional door prioritizes the safety of people and goods. Where many cheaper door varieties often skimp on this area, the overhead sectional door boasts an array of security devices. For instance, a bottom safety edge installed on the door instantly detects contact with an obstacle – a pallet, a person, or even a forklift – and sends the door straight into an auto-reverse cycle to avoid crushing incidents. By stowing parallel to the ceiling, the overhead sectional design maximizes usable floor space while keeping the doorway completely clear of obstructions for safe and efficient operations.
At Seppes Door, all safety features are an integrated part of the overhead sectional door, with the additional backing of a 15 million CNY product liability insurance cover underwritten by the People’s Insurance Company of China. Supported by CE, SGS and ISO9001 certification, warehouse managers are sure that this type of overhead door meets the world standards for safety – giving them peace of mind as their team navigates this gateway.
Low Maintenance and Serviceable Design
A great door is a door that demands nothing of your attention. That is precisely why the sectional overhead door has been designed for ease of maintenance. Springs, cables, rollers, and tracks can be removed and replaced from the front without removing the door.
We take it even a step further at Seppes with our “one door, one code” life-long service program; each and every Seppes product has been assigned a unique QR code.
All the production information, the maintenance history and the specifications for every part can be accessed through this code. Remote diagnostics become simple and a correct replacement can be ordered in no time. Over 6,600 completed projects worldwide, exports to more than 90 countries, Seppes has been focused on perfection from A to Z and from one product into the next. Even after delivery, your project has the attention it deserves.
Regular maintenance like adjusting the spring tension and cleaning and lubricating the tracks takes only a couple of minutes.
Our special powder coating withstands harsh climates and will not fade. The most maintenance friendly door on the market, that makes sure your warehouse that can operate 24 hours a day can rest on its doors.
This all comes together in the overhead sectional door as an unmatched door for warehouses: with a high resistance to stress due to its rigid panels, efficient and reliable thermal insulation for low costs, high levels of safety for both people and goods, and excellent maintainability. Our overhead sectional doors have been proving their reliability in practice for many years to more than 80 Fortune 500 companies, and are thus essential for anyone in logistics where the doors must simply work, day after day, even in highly demanding conditions.
