Description
Vertical lift (guillotine) cold room door for high-traffic cold rooms and vehicle access
The guillotine cold room door is the vertical access solution for cold rooms and cold stores where there is not enough side space for a sliding door and the widest possible opening is needed for vehicles and machinery. The leaf rises vertically, leaving the opening completely clear, with no side rails obstructing access.
Technical specifications
- Type: guillotine (vertical lift)
- Polyurethane sandwich panel leaf with counterweight or balancing spring
- Vertical guide system with side rails concealed in the enclosure
- Manual opening with counterweight or electric motorisation
- Obstacle sensor for safety in motorised mode
- Perimeter compression seal when the leaf is lowered
- Resistant to impacts from industrial vehicles
Advantages
✔ Maximum use of the opening: no side elements in the way
✔ Ideal for access by wide vehicles
✔ Fast opening and closing when motorised
✔ No side sweep: compatible with installations with limited space
✔ Uniform perimeter seal when the leaf lowers onto the threshold
Applications
Industrial cold rooms with truck or large vehicle access; cold logistics warehouses with loading docks; processing plants with large restricted-access cold rooms; installations where side sliding doors are not feasible due to lack of space.
FAQs
Is a guillotine door as well insulated as a sandwich-panel sliding door?
Yes. With the right panel thickness and a perimeter compression seal, a guillotine door offers thermal performance equivalent to a sliding door. The key is the quality of the threshold seal and the correct adjustment of the compression closing system when the leaf is lowered.
