by Rebecca Walker — February 1, 2010—Overhead Door Corporation has introduced the RapidSlat door system, which it says combines speed and efficiency with strength and durability and is an advancement of the Rolling Steel line.
Typically, businesses that need both speed and security are forced to utilize two doors, a lightweight yet highly efficient fabric door and a heavier more durable rolling steel door for security purposes. Operating and maintaining two doors equates to double the costs and often times lower profits, says the company. Overhead Door Corporation saw an opportunity to meet an unmet need in the marketplace with the RapidSlat door system, which offers the convenience of two doors in one and solves this problem for one low price.
RapidSlat shares the same general construction of the Rolling Steel line with enhancements and upgrades including:
- Reliable springless operation eliminating the need for a counterbalance
- A variety of windload, insulation, and weather seal options to cover all applications
- Universal components for easy maintenance
- Advanced diagnostics for fast and easy trouble-shooting
- Built-in safety features including a sensing edge and photo edge for peace of mind
- A self-energizing stop lock brake to prevent uncontrolled curtain travel
- An easy to clean anti-graffiti powdercoat finish
- Two-year or 300,000 cycle limited warranty coverage on components
- Five-year limited warranty coverage on the motor
Perfectly suited for applications in high-traffic areas such as auto dealerships, hospitals, parking garages, loading docks, and delivery bays, RapidSlat is ideal for the harshest of environments, says the company.
