What is a high-speed dock door?

A high-speed dock door is a high-performance door, often reinforced fabric or aluminum, that opens and closes far faster than a standard sectional, around 20 inches per second or more. The fast cycle limits the time the opening is exposed, which cuts air loss and keeps traffic moving. A-24 installs and services these doors on Buffalo loading bays.

Do high-speed doors really save on heating in Buffalo?

They help at high-traffic bays. Because a high-speed door spends far less time open, it lets out less conditioned air per cycle than a slow sectional, and at a busy Buffalo dock cycling many times an hour that adds up over a long heating season. The savings are largest where traffic is heavy and the space is conditioned or cold storage.

Can a high-speed door replace an existing sectional dock door?

In many cases, yes. A high-speed door can be fitted to an existing opening, and it is often paired with an insulated exterior door at cold-storage transitions. A-24 assesses the opening, the traffic, and the electrical, then fits and integrates the new door with the leveler and seals so the bay works as a unit.
