Frequently Asked Questions — Forklift Doors
What are forklift doors made from?
Our forklift doors are made from clear vinyl PVC strips engineered specifically for high-traffic forklift environments. The strips are cut and punched to fit your exact door opening and are available in raised or smooth profiles depending on your forklift and hi-low traffic rates.
What is the difference between raised and smooth profile strips?
Smooth profile strips are standard for most warehouse door applications. Raised profile strips are recommended for high-traffic forklift and hi-low environments where strips take repeated impact from vehicles and equipment. The raised profile provides added resistance to damage from constant contact.
What width and gauge should I order for my forklift door?
Strip width and gauge are determined by your door height. For doors 6'–9' tall, use 8" wide strips at .080 gauge. For doors 9'–12' tall, use 12" wide strips at .120 gauge. For doors over 13' tall, use 16" wide strips at .160 gauge. A wider selection starting at 6" / .060 gauge is also available for lighter-duty applications.
What mounting options are available?
Universal galvanized mounting hardware is available with every kit. It mounts on the door face (add 3"–5" to the kit width), in the door jamb, or can be suspended with threaded rod for overhead installations. For surface mounting on a wall, order the kit 1 foot wider and 1 foot higher than your door opening.
Can forklift door strips be used outdoors?
Yes. Our clear vinyl forklift door strips are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They control warehouse temperature, block wind and dust, and hold up to outdoor conditions including UV exposure.
How do forklift door strip curtains control warehouse temperature?
The overlapping PVC strips create a continuous seal that reforms immediately after a forklift passes through. This prevents cold or warm air from escaping through the opening while keeping forklift traffic moving freely — significantly reducing heating and cooling costs in temperature-controlled warehouses and dock areas.
Can I get a custom size?
Yes. Call us for custom sizes not available in the standard listings. Strip length can be customized and strips can be cut to fit on the bottom after installation for a precise height fit.
What other strip door and dock products do you carry?
We carry a full range of strip door solutions including vinyl strip door kits, PVC strip curtains, and freezer strip curtains. For loading dock specific solutions see our Dock Curtains & Strip Doors collection. Browse the full Strip Curtains collection for all options.
