Industrial PVC swing doors
Heavy-duty flexible passage systems for logistics and production nodes where continuous material handling by forklifts or pallet trucks requires fast passage and efficient energetic separation between spaces.
Uncompromised passage and energetic isolation
Where rigid industrial doors would be damaged, or automatic high-speed doors would mean excessive investment, the soft PVC swing door is the most cost-effective and robust alternative. It allows passage by direct physical contact without slowing down the traffic flow.
The thick, typically 5 or 7 mm flexible soft PVC panel absorbs kinetic energy and bends under the force of a forklift or hand trolley. Its two-way 180-degree opening means it does not create a physical obstacle in logistics processes.
After passage, the integrated torsion-spring hinge mechanism immediately and automatically returns the leaves to the closed neutral position. This instant response drastically minimises cross-drafts, dust ingress and energy loss in heated or cooled spaces.
The fully transparent, crystal-clear execution also provides maximum visual control between the two sides, which is critical for accident prevention at high-traffic crossing points.
Simple construction, maximum operational reliability
Adjustable torsion spring
The continuously adjustable spring system built into the hinge ensures that the leaves return firmly and quickly to their default position after passage, while damping door movement.
Flexible energy absorption
The robust soft PVC sheet does not break and does not deform permanently when hit by vehicles. It absorbs impacts, protecting both the hardware and the transported goods.
Optical transparency
Crystal-clear door leaves help prevent collision accidents because workers can see traffic and potential obstacles on the other side before starting to pass through.
The structure is always matched to the load profile
Tear-resistant PVC panels
Typically 5 or 7 mm thick soft PVC. Available in fully transparent execution, with upper and lower wear-resistant reinforcement, or with internal fabric reinforcement for extreme loads.
Steel and stainless steel frames
Depending on the environment, the hinge profile holding the PVC sheet can be made of galvanised steel, or WNr. 1.4301 / 1.4404 stainless steel for food industry and wet operating areas.
Standard and frost-resistant execution
Standard PVC is ideal between +50°C and -5°C. For freezer rooms, down to approximately -30°C, we use special Polar PVC that retains flexibility in extreme cold.
Typical technical parameters
| Door leaf thickness | Typically 5 mm for light traffic or 7 mm for general industrial / forklift load |
| Door leaf type | Transparent soft PVC, optionally fabric-reinforced, tear-resistant or with coloured reinforcement zones |
| Operating mechanism | Two-way adjustable torsion-spring hinge with 180-degree working opening range |
| Frame and mounting structure | Galvanised steel or acid-resistant stainless steel frame in WNr. 1.4301 / 1.4404 execution |
| Temperature range | Standard PVC from +50°C to -5°C or Polar frost-resistant PVC down to -30°C for cold rooms |
| Opening method | Manual or direct physical “crash-through” opening by vehicle contact |
Where is a soft PVC swing door ideal?
This door type is justified in any facility where internal traffic is dense and conventional handle-operated doors would cause delays or safety risks for workers and vehicles.
Separation of forklift corridors, goods receiving areas and picking zones where speed is the primary requirement.
Where washability with stainless steel framing and fast passage through hygiene zones are basic requirements.
Polar PVC execution for isolating cooled zones and minimising cold loss caused by frequent door openings.
Closing passages between customer areas and back-of-house storage with aesthetic and quiet operation.
