High-speed doors for the mining industry
High-speed doors for mining excavations
Professional closure solutions to protect against dust and debris
High-speed doors for the mining industry are designed to protect mine workers from the harsh environmental conditions in which they have to operate.
Mines are among the most dangerous working environments. Companies in this sector therefore need high-speed stacking doors with high wind resistance to cope with the strong air currents constantly generated in the tunnels. These robust closures not only protect operators from the risk of being hit by dust and debris, but also allow large vehicles to pass quickly and safely during excavation work.
The temperature in a mine is 7 degrees with 95% humidity. These confined environments are at risk of collapses, explosions, fires and flooding. The harsh working conditions to which workers are exposed therefore underline the fundamental need for better workplace safety through sophisticated logistics equipment.

VertiGO
A high-speed stacking door with high wind resistance. It can close openings up to 22 m wide and withstands winds of up to 120 km/h, thanks to a PVC curtain reinforced with horizontal bars.
VertiGO Double
Double-curtain stacking door, ideal for medium to large openings where high wind resistance is required.
Large high-speed doors
GLG offers large opening and closing solutions to manage the proper movement of excavators, underground trucks and drilling equipment.
The mining sector often uses large vehicles to move heavy materials from inside the mine to external storage areas.
Every mining company therefore needs sites with carefully planned access control, to manage the movement of vehicles and industrial equipment between extraction areas and outdoor areas quickly and intelligently.
Adjacent to the tunnels of the largest mining complexes, storage areas are often built to support extraction and excavation operators. These areas must be separated by robust high-speed doors to prevent dust and debris carried by strong air currents from settling on industrial machinery and, over time, causing malfunctions.
For extreme environments
GLG high-speed doors are designed to contain the damage from accidents that may occur during the extraction of mined material.
The curtain of our doors helps block smoke fumes, acting as a genuine smoke barrier thanks to its special woven aluminised mesh, which also contains glass fibres.
In mines, extraction operations can release methane and coal dust which, on contact with a spark, could cause a fire or explosion. Our closures therefore feature a specific double curtain with special physical and chemical properties that minimise flare-up and help suppress flames.
