Doors from Champion Door

The STX shipyard in Rauma decided to purchase a fold up door from Champion Door a few years ago. On a shipyard scale, the door was small, 6.7 meters wide and 5.1 meters high. "We studied different door manufacturer alternatives and the Champion Door price-quality ratio seemed great. After the delivery and installation had been carried out very accurately and professionally, we have purchased additional Champion Door doors for the shipyard", said Mr Juha Rosten, Maintenance Manager.
The most recent purchase was a NK 280 Double, with a width of 15 meters and a height of a little over 21 meters. At the shipyard, we are satisfied with the stability and precise usability of the Champion Door doors. The doors facing the sea are at times under very high wind loads. The door materials also withstand the corrosive attacks of the salty sea winds.

The big doors are not opened all the way up daily, simply by raising the lower edge four meters is enough to work on smaller ship parts. Opening the door partially during high winds and cold weather do not cause excess worries because the structure of the doors are designed to withstand the strain of extreme conditions.

According to Juha Rosten, the door itself is naturally of high quality, also as important are the door suppliers punctuality, flexibility and after sales marketing. Even though the doors do not need much maintenance or service, Champion Door has proven the high quality also in the installation and service professionalism as well as in short response times. When we can rely on the functionality of the door and the expertise of the after sales marketing, the maintenance of the shipyard can focus on other matters.
