5 Reasons MAXDoor is Tailor-Made for the Lumber Industry

MAXDoor is a vertical lift fabric industrial door made in the USA and designed and manufactured in the state of Michigan. At a sawmill or lumber mill facility our doors fit the large door openings required to move wood product, trucks, and workforce in a safe and productive manner. Wood sits behind everything – including the roof over our heads. Lumber is in high demand, and the factory door allowing entrance and exit needs to be reliable, strong and energy efficient.

MAXDoors are designed for heavy industrial environments requiring excellent environment separation from sawdust, dirt, insects, and odors. Our door can be designed and built for a maintained wind load of up to 250 m.p.h. The MAXDoor is a door engineered to meet EPA requirements for state and local regulations. With a long life – 20-25 years – MAXDoor blows away the competition for a very structurally strong vertical lift fabric door.

MAXDoors are self-supporting and do not put additional load onto the building. Designed to be installed on the interior or exterior side of a wall and operating like a roman shade, our weight of our door is transferred from the traveling door panel into the door guides at every horizontal beam. The horizontal beams in the MAXDoor fabric panel are hidden behind 2 layers of fabric and gives the door exceptional strength. Having the door guides free of any mechanical devices proves to be a huge benefit when there is a collision. With a simple fix, the door is up and operational resulting in no maintenance costs and minimum productivity downtime.

MAXDoor offers a high speed insulated solid panel door. This door operates at an extremely high speed for door openings up to 30 FT wide. Door sections are available in PVC or aluminum and meet the requirements for tough environments. The insulated panels provide excellent environment separation and faster door speeds reduce climate-controlled energy loss costs.

MAXDoors require truly little maintenance. By installing our door at your facility, you will be purchasing a door that will save you a great deal in maintenance costs. Just like any industrial door, MAXDoors have been hit by forklifts or large trucks. When this happens, there is a simple and no cost fix. By design all traveling horizontal beams flex and give way upon impact. The horizontal beams are easily put back into the door guides.

MAXDoors are very cost effective compared to rolling steel or rubber doors. There are many ways to reduce the costs because you can customize our doors. Why pay for a million-cycle door when you are only going to open it a few times a year? The cost can also be reduced by using the same type of operator, controls and hardware used on rolling steel doors.

Installing the right door for the right application is critical to create a safe and secure workplace for you and your employees. MAXDoor has years of experience in designing and building quality industrial doors. Every door need is unique and needs to meet the needs of that specific customer.

High-Performance Doors for the Automotive Industry

In the demanding world of the automotive industry, every factory, dealership, or warehouse operates most efficiently when the gateway to the building has an industrial door that is dependable, efficient, and safe. MAXDoor, the vertical lift fabric industrial door, checks all the boxes when it comes to strength, security, safety, and energy savings. At any automotive site, there is a robust flow of people, parts, goods, and vehicles, and it requires an industrial door that hangs tough and improves overall efficiency.

How does MAXDoor stack up?

  • Made with structural steel, MAXDoors provide superior overall strength and durability in door sizes from 10FT to 100FT.  The horizontal beam design has proven to be significantly stronger than other door designs. Remember vertical lift fabric doors are 2-5 times strong than rolling steel doors and are designed for high cycle operations. In addition, MAXDoors are designed with internal traveling horizontal beams providing significant wind load resistance.
  • MAXDoors provide intelligent controls such as automated door opening/closing systems eliminating human error, improving safety and productivity, and minimizing collisions and accidents. Safety is increased with an independent adjustable closing speed and thru-beam style photo eyes.  Custom control panels provide built-in diagnostics, PLC, VFD or relay logic.
  • Reduce energy costs by 50% with a MAXDoor.  Improving your door efficiency automatically improves your energy efficiency.  Materials, supplies, and products must enter and exit a facility, and that means that access doors must open and close 24/7. There is a great deal of heat loss at the door opening in addition to wear and tear on cooling systems.  Having a properly functioning door can decrease the amount of energy used to cool or heat a climate-controlled factory, warehouse of industrial building. MAXDoors operate at high speeds and are built with dual layer fabric panels to minimize energy loss at the door site.
  • The simple design of the MAXDoor provides security and exceptionally low maintenance. With a 20–25-year service life, our industrial door will offer years of dependable service and save your company with overall maintenance and repair costs associated with rubber and steel rolling doors.

MAXDoors offer numerous options to fit the needs of your environment.  Self-supporting, our door puts minimum load on an existing building structure and can be mounted on the interior or exterior of the door opening. When you custom design your MAXDoor, there are numerous fabric choices to fit your specific door needs such as 18, 20, 22, 28 ounce fabric along with fire retardant, low temperature, high temperature and anti-static materials just to name a few.
