Overhead Door Safety Guard

January 6, 2012

Overhead Door Safety GuardErich Industries' new award winning Overhead Door Safety Guard™ significantly increases door safety while eliminating expensive impact repairs.

This patented door protection system provides a highly visible, ANSI approved reflective safety barrier that obstructs the vehicle operator from driving through the opening until the door is completely out of the way. The barrier arm then automatically raises fully open to allow normal use of the doorway.

Hundreds of satisfied customers already use in various warehouse and factory applications worldwide. The heavy duty Overhead Door Safety Guard™ requires no electricity to operate and installs easily in less than an hour on door openings 14' H x 10’ W or larger.  In fact, many considering the purchase of an expensive high speed fabric or breakaway style door have found this to be a much safer, lower cost solution.

President Ken Nachreiner states “The concept is so welcomed that Plant Engineering readers voted the Overhead Door Safety Guard™ winner of the Product of the Year Award!”

Contact us at Erich Industries, Inc., Performance Products Division, 550 N. Nine Mound Road, Verona, WI 53593, call 1(800)882-5839, email to sales@erichindustries.com or find more details and opt in for email alerts at DockSafety.com.
