A Survivor Polycarbonate Truck Wash Bay Door Installed In Baldwin, Wisconsin.
Truck Wash Facilities are tough environments for an overhead door. Set your facility up for success with Survivor Polycarbonate overhead doors from American Garage Door Supply.
We love being able to get out in the field and see our installed doors in action, especially in a facility like this one! The above door was installed in a truck wash bay facility in Baldwin, Wisconsin. The Department of Transportation facility in Baldwin has 6 of our doors currently installed in their facility and they have been running every single day for the past 3 years without issue.
Take a look at this video where Kevin shows you some of the conditions this facility faces, as well as the wash bay facility in greater detail!
“You’re going to want to use this door on any DOT facility due to the exposure to salt, dirt and debris.” – Kevin Baumgartner, President of American Garage Door Supply
Department of Transportation facilities can be a very challenging environment for all pieces of equipment, including the overhead door. In the midwest, we commonly use road salt to keep ice manageable during the winter months. The DOT plow trucks will go out and clear the roads and spread salt as they go.
The problem with this is simple: Look at any vehicle from the midwest. Commonly referred to as the ‘rust belt’, our vehicles tend to rot away at an accelerated rate due to the road salt.
This road salt gets carried into wash facilities such as car and truck wash bays, and when the high pressure spray hits the salt and blasts it off the vehicle where does it end up? Your facility.
Before long, your wash bay rollers, track and other door components rot away and your doors quit working. This is an unacceptable possibility for a department of transportation. If a snow storm strikes and the plow trucks can’t get out of the shop due to a failed door, you have a major public safety crisis on your hands.
Solution: Polycarbonate Survivor Doors with Stainless Steel Garage Door Parts.
By equipping all of the doors in this facility with our stainless steel garage door parts, we were able to prevent corrosion from disrupting the department of transportation’s daily activities.
We equipped these doors with stainless steel torsion shafts, stainless steel garage door springs, our Magnum Supreme rollers, and all of the face hardware as well.
Imagine This: If you could reduce the effects of rust in your facility, how much money would you save over 10 years? 15? Rust and corrosion are the silent enemy of overhead door systems and we fight back against it every single day.
