Are You Headed For A Break-Up? Say Goodbye To High-Maintenance Dock & Door Springs!

Servicing a door spring brings a multitude of safety risks to you and your team. Combine this with an out of adjustment spring and employee risk is multiplied.
 
Common hazards include:

• Spring Adjustments – Over the life of the spring door, spring adjustments are necessary to keep the doors operable. When your doors are used at a high frequency and springs are not adjusted properly, your employees face operational dangers every day.  
• Springs used for Counter-balance - Mechanical equipment, such as a door using springs as counter-balance, is a danger when binding, added weight or resistance, worn parts or damage prevents a door from operating properly.
  
  With every cycle (defined as one open/close) the employee must take physical action twice. Any deficiency in the operation will require greater effort by the employee, which could result in pinched fingers and injured shoulders, neck, back or worse.
  
  Even doors with powered operators have a higher risk when spring counterbalanced. The motors on operators often will overcome an out of adjustment door spring. Some can even lift a door with a broken spring. As the motor cannot hold that much weight, the door could crash causing catastrophic results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3BxH4VGwBg​

Why break-up with dock and door springs and opt for a springless counter-balance system?
A springless counter-balance system for doors will increase your workplace safety, protect your employees and your bottom line.
 
The benefits:
•          designed to install on new or existing docks & doors
•          designed to work in all applications
•          reduced annual maintenance and repair costs
•          reduced injury and Workmans Comp risk
•          reduced downtime
 
Why are springless counter-balance systems not commonplace?
 
The answer: Knowledge and upfront cost.
The education around industrial doors is dominated by the door company manufacturers. They focus on high volume sales of door sections and panels, their primary product. Cost is the focal point on most new construction projects. The upfront cost of springs is less than springless options. However, the cost of ownership is much less with springless doors and is a wise investment, providing you with operable, safe door systems.
