Rite-Hite Unveils Raptor Rigid Line of Security Doors for Facility Exteriors

Rite-Hite, a global leader in industrial safety and productivity solutions, has entered the rigid doors category with the new Raptor Rigid™ line of security doors. That line consists of a base model simply called the Raptor Rigid Security Door, Raptor Rigid High Speed Security Door and Raptor Rigid High Speed XL Security Door.

Designed for exterior applications in demanding environments, these doors combine exceptional speed, robust double-walled aluminum construction and advanced safety features to help facilities improve security, environmental control and operational efficiency.

The base Raptor Rigid springless model opens at up to 30”/second, triple the speed of conventional rolling steel and sectional doors. Raptor Rigid high-speed models open at up to 80”/second so forklift operators spend less time waiting and more time moving. Optional activation sensors mean they don’t need to leave their vehicle to open the door or carry remotes with activation options.

Conventional rolling steel and sectional doors typically need springs replaced every few months. This requires downtime, which can be costly. The Raptor Rigid line of security doors is designed for minimal maintenance. Its base model uses a springless design while the high-speed models use high cycle extension springs.

High-speed models also come equipped with the industry exclusive Predictive Spring Life, which goes beyond basic cycle counts, analyzing door size, weight and usage. This feature pinpoints the optimal time to replace springs so facilities are never caught off guard with unplanned downtime.

The Door-Commander Advanced Controls panel’s SafeAlert™ system counts down how much time remains before the door closes to help mitigate unsafe surprises for forklift operators. Raptor Rigid Security Doors integrate a 6’ light curtain into the door’s side columns to provide an enhanced detection field, not just at the bottom like traditional photo eyes. It stops the door from closing if a person or object is detected anywhere in the opening.

Door-Commander Advanced Controls can also communicate with the Rite-Hite ONE digital platform. This sends notifications to the customer’s phone if the door is left open for too long, providing security beyond the door.
