These are just some of the reasons you should seriously consider KnockOut dock doors.
Time is Money – And You’ll Save Both
The typical loading dock door can be severely damaged for a whole lot of different reasons. A forklift could be the culprit, or something like a broken cable or a spring that doesn’t work properly. But KnockOut doors are anything but typical. If the door should experience some sort of impact, all you’ll need to do is move it all the way up, and then all the way down. This door is so incredible, it will reset on its own. Not only will you save a lot of downtime, your operations will continue without a hitch.
Innovative
When the average door experiences an impact, it’s probably going to be out of commission for a while. A forklift can accidentally hit it and do an incredible amount of damage. But the KnockOut dock door takes that problem out of the equation.
The secret is in the innovative way this door is constructed. Average doors use pins and rollers to move up and down. KnockOut doors, on the other hand, use a brush made of polypropylene. That’s it. The average dock door will either need to be repaired – or even replaced – if it gets hit. The reason this door is called “KnockOut” is that it can literally be knocked out, then flex and release. It doesn’t matter whether the impact comes from the front or the back. The door will pop back into action, with no damage to either the track or the door.
But the brush does more than hold up against an impact. You can also wash it. This might not sound like a big deal, but it really is. The reason is that washing the brush will create an incredibly efficient seal. Also, the brush won’t wear out. You’ll enjoy years of reliable performance as a result.
Energy Efficient
You might not have heard of a measure of energy efficiency known as U-Factor. We won’t take you down a science rabbit hole, but you should at least have a little bit of an idea of why it’s important.
If the U-Factor of your indoor space is low, that means your space is energy efficient. The conditioned air produced by your AC and heater will stay inside, where it should be. KnockOut doors will improve your U-Factor, helping you save money on your energy bills in the process.
