RAPIDMAX® SS
MAXimum Performance, MAXimum Durability, MAXimum Efficiency
The Australian designed and manufactured RAPIDMAX®SS high speed door is a tough workhorse providing stainless steel frame construction coupled with high speed – whisper quiet operation and efficient perimeter sealing to reduce energy consumption and improve environmental control.
Cost of ownership is significantly reduced due to the simple design and operation of our door. The use of the GFA’s Heavy Duty drive system means that RAPIDMAX® does not require any springs, pulleys or cables to balance the door, less moving parts means significantly reduced maintenance costs.
RAPIDMAX® is manufactured using heavy duty galvanised steel throughout its entire frame structure. Our side guides are manufactured using roll formed galvanised steel with welded top and bottom plates and are extremely compact measuring only 100mm x 45mm and can be customised to fit smaller footprints where necessary. Welded wind locks ensure RAPIDMAX® can withstand high wind pressures and gusts. The top roll supporting the door curtain is galvanised steel rolled tube supported by double disc welded high tolerance shafts. Our bottom beam is made using pressed galvanised steel; the strength of steel combined with our simple and effective ‘break-out’ end guide tabs allow the bottom beam to be hit and “knock-out” without serious damage and simple repair.
Optional extra – powdercoated surface (DULUX colour range).

This operator is fitted standard with digital limits with absolute encoder, after power failure no re-adjustment is required as the encoder memory is independant of constant power supply. The GFA Control Panel is designed with simple operation in mind, each door is supplied with an easy to understand operation manual and troubleshooting guide which directly relate to the LED display positioned on the front of the control panel.
