Choosing the Right Rolling Door for Your Heavy Equipment Storage

When you're looking to store heavy equipment, it's essential to find the right materials to keep your investments safe. One crucial component is your warehouse door — it acts as your primary mode of defense from the outside world. Because of this, it's a good idea to review your options and see what the best door choice would be for your equipment. 

In this article, we'll examine the many benefits of heavy machinery storage doors and the different types available. 

Benefits of Quality Heavy Equipment Storage Doors 

Benefits of Quality Warehouse Doors

Investing in a quality commercial door offers many advantages. From better security to energy cost savings, it's worth your time to find a great door to protect your heavy equipment. Here are the benefits of warehouse doors: 

  • Security: The equipment you're storing is valuable, and you want to have the confidence of knowing it's safe at all times. Without a reliable door, your investment could be in jeopardy. A high-performance, max protection warehouse door is a sure way to boost your facility's security with strong materials that will keep intruders and harsh weather at bay. 
  • Energy efficiency: Insulated warehouse doors can effectively keep temperatures constant, so even in extreme weather conditions, you won't be losing money through the thin material of an overhead door. Innovative, energy-saving technology will lower your costs while keeping your equipment safe. 
  • Durability: Investing in a quality warehouse door will also mean you won't have to get a replacement after a bout of high winds. Strong, capable materials will stand up to the harshest weather, providing protection and even options for operable wind load doors. 

You can enjoy these benefits and many more when you find a quality warehouse door. The only consideration you need to make is finding the type of door that will suit your needs. 

Types of Equipment Storage Overhead Doors 

There are many types of warehouse doors, including roll-up, max protection, and insulated models. Before you pick one, determine your priorities and see what you really want from your door. Consulting a professional service to help you weigh your options can be a great idea to select the right door for your facility. Here are various types of warehouse doors that would work well for your heavy equipment and building needs. 

Roll-Up 

Rolling doors and heavy machinery go together perfectly. Instead of using traditional tracks for the door to slide on, roll-up doors feature interlocking slats that coil around a cylindrical support. This unique design offers many benefits, including:

  • Added safety: Unlike more traditional options, the interlocking design of roll-up doors makes it extremely difficult for a thief to penetrate them. 
  • Less noise: Roll-up doors are great at minimizing noise — they can muffle the sound transfer so you're not disrupting any nearby businesses or neighbors.
  • Longevity: These doors are also durable and last a long time. With the doors' quality materials and foolproof design system, you'll get great use out of them.

High-Performance

When storing and repairing heavy equipment, you want to make sure you're choosing a door you can rely on. You might be aiming for functionality above all else, and in that case, a high-performance door might be just the option you're looking for. These types of doors offer various advantages:

  • Efficiency: The door will open swiftly, meaning you'll be more productive on the job and won't have to wait for it to slowly unravel. You can save time and get to your next task without getting delayed. 
  • Security: Doors that open slowly leave room for thieves and harsh weather to affect the conditions inside — with a high-performance door, these variables are significantly lessened. You'll have a stronger sense of security and spend less time worrying about the valuable equipment inside your building. 
  • Reliability: Even with their quick functionality, high-performance doors are built to last, with durable materials and long life cycles. It will be a while before you even have to start thinking about a replacement. 

Max Protection

If you're in an area that gets hit with extreme weather, you'll want to look into max-protection doors. These models are made to withstand hurricane conditions and also mob-style assaults. With a max-protection door, you'll receive top-level security and the ease of knowing that your equipment is protected. 

These heavy machinery storage doors offer the perfect solution for those looking to put their security worries at ease since they were built for safety. With Cornell, you can customize your door to your exact size and color specifications.

Insulated 

Insulated

When you're storing heavy equipment, one of your most important priorities may be to keep the air inside your warehouse at a reasonable temperature. Areas that are too hot or cold could be detrimental to a machine, and keeping the indoor temperature constant is crucial to protecting your investment. To do that, you need to find a reliable insulated door that will keep the outside air from penetrating your building.

With an insulated door, you can:

  • Save on energy costs: An insulated door keeps extreme temperatures from affecting the inside of your warehouse. You can effectively control your climate without your HVAC system kicking into overdrive. You'll save on your energy bill and keep your heavy equipment safely stored at the temperature of your choosing. 
  • Help the environment: You'll run your HVAC system less since you won't have to keep changing the temperature, meaning you'll achieve a greener operation that saves energy instead of burning through it. 
  • Reduce noise: Insulated doors are sound reducing. Whether you're trying to keep loud noises out or keep them inside, you'll be confident knowing that either way, you'll be staying quiet. 

How to Select Heavy Equipment Storage Doors for Your Industry

Whether you're looking for functionality, climate control, speed, or extra security, there's an option for just about everything. Looking at your top priorities, along with finding the right door manufacturing company will help you make an informed decision.

To select the appropriate storage door for your industry, facility, or heavy equipment needs, consider the following criteria:

  • Location: Pick your door based on where your warehouse or facility is located. Is it in a rural or urban environment? Is it somewhere that could benefit from high wind or storm protection, like a coastline? You should also consider any area standards you may need to follow.
  • Size: Measure the dimensions of your existing overhead doors. Is the door you are considering available in the size you need?
  • Application: Select a door that complements your industry or application. You should also think about how frequently you'll use it and whether it's interior- or exterior-facing.

The Benefits of Selecting an Appropriate Overhead Door for Your Facility

Several advantages of choosing an appropriate overhead door for your warehouse or loading dock facility include security, safety, efficiency, and long-term cost savings. Learn more about these benefits below.

Security

Selecting an appropriate equipment storage overhead door provides security. A robust, secure overhead door will protect your building and valuable equipment from theft, fires, and storms. These doors also keep pests and pollutants out of your facility to prevent warehouse and equipment damage.

Safety 

The right overhead door will also enhance workplace safety. For example, a high-quality overhead door that works well will prevent injuries or workplace accidents.

Efficiency

Whether energy or time efficiency is your priority, Cornell overhead doors can meet your needs. If you're looking for an overhead door that opens and closes quickly to save docking time, a high-performance door is an excellent solution — especially for warehouses and loading docks that depend on frequent overhead door use.

Plus, the right overhead door helps with temperature control, so you can keep your facility comfortable and save money heating and cooling your facility. Insulated equipment storage rolling doors also help you do your part to protect the environment from unnecessary greenhouse emissions.

Cost-Savings

Better workplace productivity and energy efficiency equal long-term cost savings. This means you are better able to protect your company's bottom line and focus on other crucial aspects of running a successful warehouse or loading dock facility, such as workplace safety and customer service.

Durability

You can custom design your overhead door to match your facility's aesthetics and meet your needs. High-quality Cornell overhead doors can provide many years of protection and aesthetic value.
