Having the right equipment in place to facilitate smooth movement throughout your commercial facility is vital to your business operations. Entry doors that are heavy and hard to open impede that. Impact traffic doors can contribute to the easy circulation of employees and goods leading to better productivity and improved workplace safety.
What Is an Impact Traffic Door?
Impact traffic doors are specifically created for use in high-traffic commercial and industrial settings. Also known as traffic or bump doors, impact doors are designed using insulated door panels and have an exterior layer with impact plates, rub rails, hinge guards, and spring bumpers. These high-performance doors look like normal swinging doors covered in a protective material across the bottom half of the door to withstand heavy abuse. Sometimes, the entire door is made of protective material.
Benefits of Impact Traffic Doors
Traffic impact doors can be a huge asset for your business. Some of the benefits you’ll enjoy include:
- Reduce damage to goods
- Protect your building
- Facilitate smooth traffic movement throughout your facility
- Improve productivity
- Reduce workplace injuries
In many commercial environments, carts, pallet jacks, and other equipment on wheels need to be moved from one end of the building to the other. This often requires traveling through doorways. With an unprotected traffic door, when wheeled equipment slams into the door’s surface, it can quickly damage both the door and the equipment being moved. Impact traffic doors mitigate this.
This means that if you are pushing a loaded pallet jack, you don’t need to ask someone to hold the door open for you. Traffic doors swing! You can simply walk through, using the pallet jack to push the doors open for you. The protective impact plates on the exterior of the doors will protect the door and your load from any damage.
What Industries Benefit from Impact Traffic Doors?
Many busy commercial environments can benefit from impact traffic doors. These include:
- Restaurants
- Warehouses
- Delivery companies
- Medical supply companies
- Grocery stores
- Hotels
- Retail establishments
Any business with a high volume of foot traffic and the need to open doors hands-free can benefit from this type of door. Whether you are pushing a cart of cantaloupes, moving heavy luggage, transporting medical supplies, or wheeling a loaded pallet jack, commercial impact traffic doors can be pushed through with ease.
