High-speed roll-up doors

A roll-up door works according to a simple but effective principle: when opened, the door leaf is guided vertically upwards and rolled up to save space. An electric motor drives the door, with sensors, light grids or scanners controlling the safe movement. Opening can be triggered manually, by push-button, remote control, motion detector or via access control.

Depending on the model, an electric roll-up door can be equipped with safety functions such as emergency release, collision protection or automatic obstacle detection. With EFAFLEX, an integrated counterbalance ensures that the door can be opened easily even in the event of a power failure. Roll-up doors from EFAFLEX are specially designed for high load cycles – and guarantee maximum reliability even under extreme conditions.

Both sectional doors and roll-up doors are used to securely close passageways, but differ fundamentally in their design and function. A sectional door consists of several interconnected panels that are pushed under the ceiling of the garage or hall when opened. This usually requires more space inside.

A roll-up door, on the other hand, consists of a flexible curtain that rolls up over the door opening to save space. The big advantage: roll-up doors take up hardly any space and are particularly suitable for low ceiling heights or narrow installation spaces. Roll-up doors also do not require running rails or guide rails. EFAFLEX high-speed roll-up doors have been specially developed for high frequency of use and demanding environments – for example in logistics centers or production halls.

The cost of an automatic roll-up door with installation depends on various factors, such as the size of the door, the desired equipment, the area of application (e.g. industrial hall or hygiene area) and the structural conditions on site. It is therefore difficult to make general statements about the price of a roll-up door with installation.

This is because EFAFLEX does not provide you with an “off-the-shelf” product, but with a custom-made roll-up door that is precisely tailored to your requirements. This means you can tailor your roll-up door exactly to your requirements with extras such as special curtain variants or special security features. Customization naturally affects the price and cost of a roll-up door accordingly.

The high-quality high-speed roll-up doors from EFAFLEX are designed for a particularly long service life – even with intensive daily use. Depending on the model, our doors are designed for up to 150,000 load cycles per year, which is well above the industry average. Thanks to robust materials, precise workmanship and intelligent technology such as the integrated counterbalance, EFAFLEX roll-up doors often achieve a service life of 10 to 20 years in practice – and even longer with appropriate maintenance.

A decisive advantage: many components are modularly replaceable and designed to be particularly easy to maintain. This reduces downtimes and ensures long-term economical operation. Regular inspections as part of our service offer can also extend the service life. Our technology is designed to grow with your business. Reliable, durable and sustainable.

At EFAFLEX, safety is not an optional extra, but an integral part of every roll-up door. Even the standard version of our high-speed roll-up doors is equipped with modern safety systems such as the EFA-TLG® light curtain or optional laser scanners that reliably detect obstacles. This not only protects machines and goods, but above all people in the door area.

We also offer numerous extensions for our roll-up doors, such as mechanical locking systems or integration into existing alarm systems. For special areas of application – such as in potentially explosive zones – we supply certified EX roll-up doors in accordance with the ATEX directive. And: even in the event of a power failure or smoke development, our doors can still be operated manually thanks to weight compensation – without any additional aids.

The maintenance intervals of a roll-up door depend largely on the frequency of use, the operating environment and the model. Annual maintenance by trained service technicians is generally recommended. This ensures long-term functional reliability and durability. For roll-up doors that are used particularly intensively – for example in shift operation or in high-frequency areas – a six-monthly check may also be advisable.

High-speed roll-up doors from EFAFLEX are particularly low-maintenance and designed for particularly long-lasting use. At the same time, you can always rely on our maintenance services: These include checking the control unit, safety components, counterbalance and checking mechanical components for wear. By detecting wear at an early stage, major repairs and longer downtimes can be effectively avoided. EFAFLEX offers individually tailored maintenance packages with high availability and short response times. This keeps your roll-up door safe and ready for use at all times without unexpected downtime.
