Stop Forklift Damage Costs: The Ultimate Guide to SEPPES Self-repairing High Speed Doors

In a high-traffic warehouse or manufacturing plant, speed is everything. But with speed comes the inevitable: forklift collisions. Traditionally, a single accidental impact on a warehouse door meant a broken track, a torn curtain, and hours—if not days—of operational downtime.

At SEPPES, we believe your doors should work for you, not against you. That is why our Self-repairing High Speed Doors (often called Zipper Doors) are becoming the gold standard for modern industrial facilities.

What is a Self-repairing High Speed Door?

A self-repairing door is an advanced industrial rapid door specifically engineered to withstand impacts without sustaining permanent damage.

The secret lies in the Zipper-Guided Design. Unlike traditional doors that use rigid wind bars or rollers, the SEPPES zipper door features a flexible curtain edge that "zips" into a special high-density track.

How the "Automatic Reset" Works:

The Impact: When a forklift hit occurs, the curtain simply "unfolds" or breaks away from the side tracks.

The Recovery: There is no need for a repair technician. You simply activate the door to open.

The Reset: As the door cycles upward, the zipper teeth automatically re-align and re-insert themselves into the track. Within seconds, the door is fully functional again.

Solving the "Downtime Crisis": Why Your Facility Needs This Technology

1. Eliminate Expensive Repair Bills

Traditional high speed doors are expensive to fix. Replacing a bent bottom bar or a derailed track requires specialized tools and labor. With SEPPES self-repairing technology, the maintenance cost associated with collisions drops to near zero.

2. Maintain Environmental Control

For cold storage, food processing, or cleanroom environments, a broken door is a disaster. It leads to temperature loss and contamination. Because our zipper doors reset instantly, you maintain the thermal seal and protect your sensitive inventory.

3. Enhanced Workplace Safety

By removing rigid metal components from the bottom of the curtain, the door becomes much safer for personnel and equipment. Our doors are designed to be "soft" on impact, reducing the risk of injury during a collision.
