What are vertical lift fabric industrial doors?   Overhead doors that move straight up and stack above the opening using a fabric curtain and lifting mechanism.  Unlike traditional sliding or swing doors, all movement is vertical. This saves valuable usable floor and side space – an ideal opening solution for larger industrial openings like hangars, shipyards and manufacturing bays and mines.

What Are The Defining Features of MAXDoors?

• Vertical operation — The door lifts up, storing the door horizontally above the opening. No side swing clearance needed.
• Heavy-duty fabric curtain — Dual layer fabric panel designed for repeated cycles and environmental stress such as extreme wind load.
• No ground rails — Eliminating trip hazards and floor obstructions inside facilities. This door is ideal for busy traffic zones.
• Wind & corrosion resistance — Built for harsh outdoor and industrial climates. Tight seals reduce drafts, dust and moisture.
• Low maintenance — Fewer rigid components, fewer wear points and low maintenance costs. Impacts often flex and reset instead of causing major damage resulting in minimal downtime.
• Customizable fabric options – Offering a variety of colors with specific fabric selections such as insulated, sound reduction, heat/fire resistant or cut proof security variants.
• Safety – Redundant lifting belts, floor level brake release, guide blocks designed to break away during impact, guides are free of belts, cables or mechanical devices.
• Long service life – MAXDoors have a life span of 20+ years and minimal maintenance.
