Food Bank NYC Before

Problem

Worn & Impacted Rolling Doors

Damaged rolling steel doors, marred by accidental impacts and years of wear-and-tear, were constantly disrupting operations and forcing supervisors to take the hit on maintenance costs that just kept piling on.

Solution

PerforMax® Rubber Doors

Allmark specialists removed the damaged rolling steel doors and installed (11) 8' x 9’ PerforMax® rubber doors with direct-drive springless operation and lifetime warranty against impact damage.

Food Bank After

Approach

With service calls reaching unsustainable levels, Allmark specialists stepped in and proposed a safer, more reliable solution to eliminating downtime and over $50K worth of maintenance costs that had been plaguing the Food Bank facilities and operations team every year. The end result was a turnkey installation of customized impactable rubber doors built to easily outlast rolling steel, while also guaranteeing superior workflow efficiency at the loading dock.

Benefits

Cost Reduction

Save you an average of $2-8K (per position) in annual maintenance costs.

Maximum Efficiency

High-cycle rating and quick opening speeds ensure top-notch performance.

Proven Security

Impactable curtain and breakaway system result in ZERO downtime.

Result

They are durable, so durable, still going strong... The doors get hit all the time and I don’t think we've ever had to call anyone to fix them. After we hit them with a pallet or something, they go back into the guides and we can keep going. Juan A. Facilities Supervisor
