DescriptionHormann V 10008 Large High Speed Door
The Heavy-Duty Solution for Oversized Openings
When you have an exceptionally large opening that needs to operate quickly and reliably, standard high-speed doors simply won't cut it. The Hormann V 10008 is specifically engineered for "supersized" industrial applications, boasting a massive maximum width of 10,000mm and a height of 6,250mm. It is the ultimate solution for aircraft hangars, shipyards, heavy machinery depots, and large-scale manufacturing plants where oversized equipment needs rapid access.
Engineered for Mass and Stability
Moving a fabric curtain of this size requires specialised engineering. The V 10008 features extra-wide guide rails and a robust double tensioning belt system. This mechanism actively manages the significant weight of the curtain, ensuring that the door travels smoothly and evenly without sagging or jamming, even during high-frequency cycles.
To handle the immense wind loads acting on such a large surface area, the curtain is reinforced with heavy-duty spring steel wind protectors. These are housed in horizontal pockets and work in tandem with lateral twin track rollers to keep the door stable. Depending on the door width, this system achieves impressive wind resistance:
- Up to 6000mm Width: Class 3 Wind Load (approx. 115 km/h)
- Over 6000mm Width: Class 2 Wind Load (approx. 100 km/h)
Safety on a Grand Scale
Safety is critical when operating large automated doors. The V 10008 is equipped with the advanced AS 500 FU E Frequency Converter Control as standard. This provides soft-start and soft-stop functionality, which is essential for reducing mechanical stress on the drive train of such a heavy door.
Furthermore, the door features double closing edges on the bottom profile. This redundant safety system ensures that the closing force is constantly monitored and maintained within safe limits, protecting personnel and valuable machinery from accidental impact.
Performance Where it Matters
Despite its size, the V 10008 remains a high-speed door. For openings up to 6000mm wide, it opens at a speed of 1.5 m/s. For massive openings over 6000mm, it operates at a controlled 0.8 m/s. This efficiency significantly reduces the time the building is exposed to the elements compared to traditional steel roller shutters, helping to maintain internal temperatures in vast industrial halls.
ApplicationHeavy Machinery Depots
For facilities maintaining mining trucks, agricultural combines, or construction plant, standard doors are simply too narrow. The V 10008 provides the width needed to manoeuvre these oversized vehicles in and out quickly, ensuring maintenance schedules are kept on track.
Aircraft Hangars & Airports
The vast width of the V 10008 makes it ideal for smaller aircraft hangars or ground support equipment (GSE) storage areas. Its high wind resistance is crucial in the exposed, open environments typical of airfields.
Shipyards & Marine Engineering
Marine fabrication halls often require huge access points to move boat sections or large steel assemblies. The V 10008 offers a rapid-acting weather barrier that protects the internal environment from coastal winds while allowing unhindered access for mobile cranes and transporters.
Large-Scale Manufacturing
In steelworks, pre-cast concrete plants, or modular building factories, raw materials and finished products are often massive. The V 10008 ensures that moving these large loads in and out of the production hall doesn't result in the door being left open for minutes at a time, preserving the internal climate.
