Roll-up door with heavy wind resistance

Goff's Enterprises introduced new Draw-Tite powered roll-up door. This door has a unique tensioning system which enables the door to maintain a seal under gusts up to 70 mph and prevents the curtain from blowing out of its guides. The door is also suitable for areas within the facility that have high positive/negative pressures. Standard on the door is an in-tube style 110 volt motor that moves the door at 6"/sec. Goff's also introduced an optional external motor than can take the door speed up to 36"/sec. The door has an active edge that senses objects in the path of the lowering curtain and causes the door to reverse direction upon contact.

The motor enables the Draw-Tite to have a responsive safety edge, to work with a variety of actuation devices and to operate in conjunction with the master control boxes found on many docks that coordinate dock equipment activity. A weather tight enclosure can protect the external motor when mounted outside the building. Doors sizes range from 8' x 8' to 14" to 14".
