High-Speed Overhead Door Operator vs. Traditional Operator
Upgrade to a high-speed overhead door operator to increase operational efficiency and throughput. This video demonstrates a direct speed comparison between a traditional jackshaft operator and our high-speed springless Safedrive operator.
| Turn almost any overhead door into a high-speed door with the springless Safedrive high-speed operator. |
✓ Energy efficiency: High operating speeds mean energy-efficient operation, minimizing outside air infiltration during operation.
✓ Versatile applications: Convert almost any balanced or unbalanced overhead door into a high-speed door.
✓ Better operational efficiency: Increase throughput with high-speed doors.
✓ Minimize or eliminate maintenance: Minimize or eliminate maintenance costs (model dependent) and enhance reliability in daily operations.
Information
A Maintenance-Free High-Speed Springless Safedrive Operator
The high-speed springless Safedrive operator is maintenance-free, self-monitoring and operates silently. Its incredibly fast opening speeds of up to 24″/second is energy-efficient and helps to increase operational efficiency, throughput and worker productivity, while its springless design eradicates costly spring repairs and replacements. In addition, this high-speed operator reduces energy loss and prevents air exchange from slow operators that allow heat and/or cooled indoor air to escape out the door.
Ideal Applications for High-Speed Overhead Door Operators
High-speed overhead door operators are used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. They are best suited for car wash/automotive dealerships and food storage/manufacturing facilities. The Safedrive high-speed operator is designed to operate on numerous types of overhead doors including: aluminum polycarbonate, aluminum Lexan, rolling steel, rolling grilles, shutter, rubber roll-up, fabric roll-up, sectional, horizontal single-leaf, and more.
Activation Method
The most important aspect of any door project is deciding on your activation method to:
✓ Prevent the door from being hit
✓ Prevent the door from hitting people
✓ Extend the life of the door
✓ Improve productivity
✓ Decrease downtime and maintenance
✓ Save energy
