The most basic and economical barrier to separating two spaces is a wall, but what happens when you need to go in and out of this area with a forklift? In situations where warehouses or factories need to provide access to large material handling equipment, but still, wish to keep unfavorable weather conditions out, strip doors are the most economical solution says A Plus Warehouse, a leading business-to-business distributor of lockers and materials handling equipment.
A Plus Warehouse stocks strip material and mounting hardware as well as full bulk rolls of PVC strip for configuring plastic and vinyl strip doors for use in many industrial applications. Vinyl strip doors are used to keep heat in, and cold out. or vice versa. Strip doors can be customized by altering the overlap percentage ordered so forklift trucks can be accommodated as easily as foot traffic.
"Choosing your strip door overlap is very important when ordering," said Ed Stairman, president of A Plus Warehouse. "A 33% overlap may be appropriate for foot traffic and small temperature differentials, whereas 100& overlap might be necessary for forklift access, and for keeping higher and lower temperatures out."
"You can also customize the thickness of your strip doors by your application," said Stairman. "You can choose strip thickness of .180 all the way to .250 inches. A .250 inch thick strip door is too much for a person to walk through, but a forklift may do fine."
We offer bulk rolls of strip door material available pre-cut or perforated for your convenience. It works perfectly for most strip door installations. If you need any help figuring out the best overlap for your application, don't hesitate to contact us at 8002-09-8798.
