Door collisions drive maintencance costs.

A single doorcollision caused by industrial trucks can quickly amount to €3,000–15,000 in damages. Additional consequences for operators can include production downtime, coordination efforts, energy loss due to drafts, and disruptions in time-critical supply chains.

Door Control seamlessly opens doors while gently reducing vehicle speed – enhancing safety and preventing collisions.

• Easy retrofit for common industrial door types
• Integrated into the Linde Safety Guard system
• Doors only open when forklift drivers actually intend to pass through
• Clear separation of driving and pedestrian routes
• Configurable speed zones depending on the application

Observed savings:

Based on 10 industrial doors (high-speed and sectional), experiencing one damage incident per door per year, average savings of €10,000 annually in pure repair costs can be achieved. This excludes downtime, rental solutions, replacement costs, and the impact of drafts or environmental factors on employee productivity.
