Satisfying a Sweet Tooth

Ever since she was a young girl, my sister has been interested in agriculture. After graduating with a degree in agriculture education, she accepted a teaching position at a local high school. For the past three years, she has been amazing her students with her knowledge about subjects such as raising beef cattle, growing flowers, and canning fruit preserves. Since she has a sweet tooth, canning fruit preserves is one of my sister’s favorite pastimes. If she ever has the time, she may even launch her own home based business canning fruit preserves to sell to customers. If you’re considering canning jams, jellies, and other sweet goods to sell to customers, you will need to invest in some state-of-the-art industrial equipment. On this blog, you will discover the types of industrial equipment that are necessary to start a canning business.

4 Types Of Doors For Your Warehouse

Malou Leffers

While you may not pay much attention to your warehouse doors, they can impact the success of your company's operations. At your warehouse, the right type of door can make it easier for your employees to access and unload items from your dock. Here are a few options for your warehouse doors that can help you improve your organization's efficiency. 

1. High-Speed Doors

High-speed doors are a good option if your warehouse constantly has a lot of traffic. As the name suggests, these doors quickly open and close so that your workers can access your dock or loading area. This type of door also requires less maintenance than other similar options. 

The rapid speed of these doors will help you keep the interior of your warehouse at a comfortable temperature. Your employees will appreciate a door that keeps frigid drafts or influxes of hot air to a minimum. 

Or, maybe your warehouse handles items that need to stay in a climate-controlled environment, like ingredients or medication. High-speed doors are available with insulation that can help you maintain consistently freezing temperatures if necessary. 

2. Rolling Steel Doors

Rolling steel doors work well for warehouses that are a little short on space. When you roll the door open, it disappears into a mounted unit, preserving your facility's overhead space. These doors are strong and durable, and they come in a variety of materials and colors. 

3. Sectional Doors

Sectional doors are a reliable, economical alternative for your warehouse. When you open a sectional door, it does take up your overhead space. Though these doors are basic, they're easy to operate and have a long lifespan. Depending on the materials used for the sectional doors, they can also be efficient at assisting with climate regulation in your warehouse. 

4. Scissor Gate Doors

Scissor gate doors boast a different design than other types of warehouse doors. Instead of opening up vertically, scissor gate doors consist of two gates that slide to the left and right to open. When it's time to close scissor gate doors, these gates will slide to the center. 

The materials used for scissor gate doors will impact how they are used. Gates constructed from heavy-duty steel are effective at adding an extra layer of security to your warehouse or securing the contents of your warehouse while still allowing optimal airflow. 

Scissor gate doors manufactured from lightweight materials are more affordable and intended to segregate portions of your warehouse rather than to secure its contents.
