Gliderol Swift High Speed Traffic Door Options For Your Facility

The Gliderol Swift range offers reliable, fast-acting high-speed traffic doors designed to support smooth material flow, maintain controlled environments, and minimise downtime in busy facilities.

Available in both counterbalanced and non-counterbalanced models, each option provides practical features, compact construction, and proven performance for controlled environment applications.

Gliderol Swift™ (Counterbalanced Model)

Fast-acting roll-up doors are commonly used for entrances in temperature-controlled premises and clean rooms to facilitate the passage of materials.

The main function of these doors is to close the openings as quickly as possible. As these doors are usually subject to frequent operations, the maintenance cost has to be an important factor of consideration.

Gliderol Swift™ is not only affordable. Its modular design makes parts replacement simple. It is an efficient and cost-effective solution, with all the features that you will probably need.

  • Compact self-supporting structure: The door posts and header are fabricated from galvanized steel. With the posts fixed to the wall, it forms a self-supporting structure for the entire door.
  • Door curtain in modular panels: This gives flexibility in your curtain design, e.g., choice of number of vision panels and colours. The curtain panels, joined by full-width aluminium transoms, are easy to assemble and replace. These transoms also enhance the ability of the door to withstand greater differences in positive or negative pressures from each side of the entrance, which is a common concern with fabric doors.
  • Counterbalanced system: The curtain is balanced by counterweights concealed in the door post. Apart from assisting the motor operator during normal operation of the door, counterbalancing also allows the door to be manually opened during a power failure. A release lever is provided to disengage the motor, after which the door can be lifted with the help of the counterweights.
  • Safety-edge included as standard: A pneumatic switch connected to the bottom weather seal acts as a safety edge that will immediately reverse a closing door upon contact with an obstruction. Connection to the control box is via a cable chain concealed within the door post, hence no external spiral cable is needed.
  • 3-phase high-cycle electric motor operator: Built for rapid door operations, with integrated gear reduction, brakes, and limit switches.
  • A compact automation system: With pre-wired electrical connections that make wiring fast, easy, and error-free. The automation system is CE-listed, designed and built in compliance with applicable safety requirements as set out in Machinery Directive 89/392/CEE, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/CEE, and Low-Tension Directive 73/23/CEE.
