MAXDoor Made In The USA and for The Mining Industry

The mining environment is one of dirt, grit, and corrosive materials. This type of work environment requires a tough and durable door that can handle the daily operations at the mine.  Our vertical lift fabric door – MAXDoor – has a high quality, robust design for this type of heavy industrial setting. Many design and fabric options are available to enhance visibility and safety in the mine setting.

  • MAXDoors have a high positive and negative wind resistance. Our doors do not bellow into the building during high winds. This bellowing affect can interrupt workflow and limit work space.
  • MAXDoors can be designed to fit in small, tight spaces and offer excellent environmental separation.
  • MAXDoors are also available for large door openings up to 65 FT wide by 65 FT high and put a minimum load on the building structure.
  • MAXDoors are designed to enhance safety at the mine. With the daily use of large industrial equipment, door collisions will occur.  Real life collisions have proven that the horizontal beams flex out of the door guides and are easily put back in place.  This design provides an added safety feature and saves hours of door downtime and costly repairs.
  • MAXDoors offer protection from harsh temperatures and have a service life of 20-25 years.
  • MAXDoors provide high speed door operations and are 2-3 times faster than rolling steel doors.

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.

MAXDoor is a vertical lift fabric door designed and built in the USA.  Our Michigan based company provides a dependable, sturdy door solution for your waste handling facility. Industrial door downtime costs companies a lot of money. The way a MAXDoor is designed using lifting belts and horizontal beams, there are little to no repairs. On our door, all traveling horizontal beams will flex and give way if a collision occurs.  Just place the beams back into the door guides and MAXDoor is back in operation.

Safety is always an important issue at any waste handling facility and MAXDoor does not disappoint. Real life collisions occur with lift trucks and articulating dump trucks.  Our door is designed with lifting belts that are free to travel with a door panel that has been hit and this factor greatly improves safety at the door site.
