3 reasons why a rapid door could suit your facility

Have you ever explored the option of high speed doors, but wondered whether your facility really needed them? You might have liked the idea of a super fast roller door letting your forklifts operate in turbo mode, but didn’t know if you could justify the investment.

Modularity refers to the degree to which a system’s components may be separated and recombined (think of lego). When we imagine the average warehouse layout, immediately we have a modular system. Most empty warehouses present a cavernous space filled with lighting and little else.

Into this we put stock, shelved or otherwise and the millions of different configurations makes it a modular system. Modularity offers the benefits of being flexible to the changing demand of your environment and the ability to offer the optimal solution for each situation.
