Overhead Door Track Protectors

 Overview 

The loading dock door is literally the gateway to the supply chain, and protecting its operation is key to keeping goods coming and going. Overhead doors, installed on most docks, run along a thin metal track that can be easily dinged, or buckled, often by the pallet on a forklift in a hurry to load/offload.

Protect overhead door tracks from damage by forklifts and other motorized warehouse equipment with Ideal Warehouse Innovations’ line-up of Track Protectors.

 Consider the risks of having exposed door tracks: 

• Costly maintenance requirements
• Security, climate and contamination control risks if the door can’t be closed properly while awaiting repair
• Lowered productivity
• Difficulty getting replacement parts in a timely manner

Avoid these costly and time consuming problems with Track Protectors.

Ideal Warehouse Innovations’ lineup of Overhead Door Track Protectors feature:

• Formed steel construction with an angled leading flange to offer strong impact resistance (tougher than composite materials) and keep impact away from the door track
• An angled top to prevent hand injury
• Durable yellow powder-coat paint finish which acts as both a visual deterrent and corrosion inhibitor

Standard Track Protector choices include:

• Steel thicknesses of 1/8” (10ga), 3/16” (7ga), 3/8”, and 1/4"
• Height choices of 36” or 48”
• 7” projection from the wall mounting surface
• Integral L-shaped floor mounting plates for extra resistance to impact (9” wide and 8” projection), or no floor mounting plates for easier installation
• Optional anchor kits - the wall flange and floor plate are drilled for 1/2″(13mm) anchors. Available as standalone or as part of a track protector set kit.
• Most sizes are in stock and ready-to-ship
