Overview
The RapidRoll R600 is the door for openings that never stop moving: warehouse dispatch bays, factory material airlocks, food-plant hygiene zones and logistics cross-docks. It opens at up to 2.5 m/s — roughly ten times faster than a conventional sectional door — so forklifts barely slow down, and it closes at up to 1.0 m/s behind them, minimising the time the opening stands exposed to dust, insects, heat or conditioned-air loss.
Speed is only useful if the door survives contact. Forklifts hit doors; it is a matter of when. The R600's curtain is self-repairing reinforced PVC: on impact the curtain releases from its side guides instead of tearing, and the next open cycle re-feeds it automatically. No bent panels, no service call, no opening standing wide while waiting for parts. Vision strips keep two-way traffic visible, and the full-width soft bottom edge reverses on contact.
Egis supplies the R600 as a complete high-speed system: frequency-controlled drive, radar / remote / pull-cord / induction-loop activation, and safety to EN 13241 — the European product standard for industrial doors — including a light curtain across the opening. Clear openings run up to 4000 mm wide and 4500 mm high, covering everything from personnel airlocks to full dock doors.
How 2.5 m/s stays safe and survives forklifts
High speed demands control. The R600's frequency drive ramps the curtain with soft start and soft stop — no jerking, no curtain whip — and holds speed constant regardless of load. Safety is layered: radar opens for approaching traffic, the light curtain watches the opening plane, and the soft bottom edge reverses the curtain on contact. The system complies with EN 13241 for safety in use of powered doors, and the control logic is commissioned to the site's traffic pattern.
The self-repairing curtain is the uptime story. In a conventional rigid door, a forklift strike bends panels or breaks the track — the opening is then unusable until repaired. The R600's flexible curtain is designed to be the sacrificial element that isn't sacrificed: it pops out of its guides on impact and zips back in on the next cycle. In facilities that have measured it, impact downtime drops from hours to seconds.

Typical applications
Warehouse dispatch bays
Keeps high-traffic dock openings closed between movements, cutting dust and heat ingress.
Food plant hygiene zones
Fast separation between hygiene zones with washdown-tolerant curtain options.
Manufacturing material airlocks
Minimises conditioned-air loss between production halls.
Logistics cross-docks
Throughput without the door becoming the bottleneck.
FAQs
What is a high-speed door, and when do I need one?
A high-speed door opens at 1.5–2.5 m/s versus ~0.2 m/s for a conventional sectional door. You need one wherever traffic is frequent and the opening must stay closed between movements — to keep out dust, insects and heat, to hold conditioned air, or to separate hygiene zones. If forklifts queue at a slow door, a high-speed door usually pays for itself in energy and throughput.
What happens when a forklift hits the door?
The R600's curtain is designed for it: on impact it releases from the side guides instead of tearing or bending, and the next opening cycle automatically re-feeds it into the guides. The door is back in service in seconds with no parts replaced and no technician visit.
Is a 2.5 m/s door safe for pedestrians?
Yes, when specified correctly. The R600 layers radar approach detection, a light curtain across the opening plane, and a soft bottom edge that reverses on contact, and it complies with EN 13241 for powered-door safety. Pedestrian and forklift routes should still be separated by site traffic planning.
How much energy does a high-speed door save?
It depends on the temperature difference and cycle count, but the mechanism is straightforward: every second the opening stands open, conditioned air leaves and outside air enters. Cutting open time from ~20 seconds (slow door + waiting) to ~4 seconds reduces that exchange proportionally. Egis can model the saving for a specific opening during the site survey.
What maintenance does the R600 need?
Curtain and guide inspection, light-curtain and bottom-edge safety tests, and drive checks on cycle count. There are no panels to realign and no springs to balance — the maintenance load is lighter than a sectional door's.
Can it be integrated with access control or a WMS?
Yes — the controller accepts inputs from access systems, induction loops and building controls, and provides status outputs. Doors can be interlocked in airlock sequences or released by the warehouse management system.
