In the world of industrial logistics, every inch of vertical space is an asset. However, many facility managers face a common “overhead headache”: traditional sectional doors that require massive headroom, often clashing with fire sprinkler systems, HVAC ducts, or overhead cranes.
If you are struggling to balance large access points with limited ceiling clearance, SEPPES Space-Saving Sectional Doors offer a precision-engineered solution.
The Core Problem: The “Ceiling Conflict”
In modern warehouses, the space above the door is rarely “empty.” It is usually packed with:
Lighting and Ventilation: Essential for worker safety.
Fire Suppression Systems: Pipes that cannot be moved due to regulation.
Material Handling Equipment: Such as bridge cranes or high-stack racking.
Standard industrial doors often utilize a “Standard Lift” track that curves into the room at a height that obstructs these utilities. This leads to wasted space, increased risk of equipment damage, and layout limitations.
The Solution: SEPPES Low-Headroom Track Geometry
The defining feature of a SEPPES space-saving sectional door isn’t just the door panel itself—it’s the engineered track configuration.
Unlike “one-size-fits-all” doors, SEPPES provides specialized tracking options designed to hug the ceiling or bypass obstacles:
Low Headroom Lift (LHL): By utilizing a double-track system, the door panels can turn into the horizontal position with as little as 250mm to 300mm of clearance. This is a game-changer for underground parking or low-ceiling manufacturing hubs.
High Lift and Vertical Lift: If your facility has high ceilings but you need the area directly above the door clear for cranes, our tracks can run vertically up the wall, keeping the “drive-in” zone completely unobstructed.
Follow-the-Roof Pitch: For buildings with sloped ceilings, SEPPES tracks can be angled to match the roofline, ensuring no volume is lost to “dead air” between the door and the ceiling.
How This Solves Your Real-World Problems
1. Preventing Costly Utility Damage
When a door track is too low, forklifts or moved machinery can easily clip the horizontal tracks. By using a space-saving design that keeps the door high and tight against the structure, you significantly reduce the risk of collisions and expensive downtime.
2. Enhancing Natural Light and Ventilation
By clearing the space above the lintel, you can install windows or ventilation louvers higher up on the walls. SEPPES panels can also be integrated with Full-Vision aluminum sections, allowing natural light to flood the workspace without compromising the door’s compact footprint.
3. Increasing Racking Capacity
In many cold storage or logistics centers, the “Golden Zone” for storage is right near the loading dock. A space-saving sectional door allows you to extend your racking systems closer to the door, effectively increasing your pallet positions per square meter.
