Goff’s Enterprises (Booth 723) introduced two new roll-up doors that can win the battle against high winds and corrosive environments: the Drawtite II and HarshGuard. 

Drawtite II is a fast-acting powered roll-up wind-resistant door with features that add to its ability to provide quick access and reliable protection in extreme conditions. This door has a unique aircraft cable tensioning system, that enables it to maintain a seal under wind gusts up to 70 mph on a 10 x 12-foot door and prevents the door from blowing out of its guides. Ideal for areas with high positive/negative pressures, its enhanced mechanics resist contamination, ice build up and harsh environmental factors.

The door also has an active edge that senses objects in the path of the lowering door and causes it to reverse direction.

HarshGuard doors provide the fast entry of a roll-up door that can withstand high wind loads and work in extreme conditions like food processing plants and washing stations. With many of the same features as the Drawtite II, HarshGuard doors can also be supplied without the wind-load tensioning system for interior room separation.

 “We’re really proud to promote two new products,” said Ed Cooke, vice president of sales and marketing. “Our new doors have given us an innovative way to provide high speed solutions for difficult situations at affordable prices.”
