Hormann V 6030 SEL High Speed External Door
When your external openings take a beating from the wind and heavy traffic, you need a door that fights back. The **Hormann V 6030 SEL** is a rugged, high-speed fabric door engineered specifically for exposed external locations and busy logistics routes.
Reinforced with spring steel wind protectors, this door remains stable even in wind speeds of up to 100 km/h (Class 2), ensuring your operations stay weather-tight. But its real strength lies in its **SoftEdge Anti-Crash technology**. If a forklift hits the curtain, the flexible bottom profile disengages harmlessly from the guides, preventing expensive damage and downtime. Simply reset it by hand in seconds, and you're back in business.
Key Benefits
- Weather Resistant: Withstands wind loads up to Class 2 thanks to integrated spring steel reinforcements.
- Crash-Proof Design: The SoftEdge bottom profile absorbs impacts and prevents structural damage, saving thousands in repair costs.
- Fast & Efficient: Opens at speeds up to 3.0 m/s (optional) to keep traffic flowing and minimize heat loss.
- Advanced Safety: Features a non-contact safety light grille as standard to protect staff and equipment.
- Reliable Operation: Twin track rollers ensure quiet, smooth travel, even during intensive use.

Hormann V 6030 SEL High Speed External Fabric Door
The Robust Solution for Busy External Openings
The **Hormann V 6030 SEL** is a heavy-duty flexible high-speed door specifically designed for high-frequency external applications. Engineered to withstand the rigors of busy logistics routes, it combines rapid opening speeds with a highly stable curtain design that can handle significant wind loads and frequent vehicle traffic.
Unlike standard internal rapid-roll doors, the V 6030 SEL is reinforced with **spring steel wind protectors** integrated directly into the curtain pockets. These provide the lateral tension required to keep the door sealed and operational even in adverse weather conditions, ensuring your facility remains secure and protected from the elements.
Minimise Downtime with Anti-Crash Protection
In busy industrial environments, collisions between forklifts and doors are an unfortunate reality. The V 6030 SEL features a sophisticated **"SoftEdge" Anti-Crash System** to virtually eliminate collision-related downtime.
If a vehicle hits the bottom profile, the flexible SoftEdge section disengages from the side guides instantly, preventing structural damage to the door curtain or frame. The operator can then reset the door manually in seconds—without needing special tools or an expensive call-out to a repair engineer. This feature alone can save thousands in repair costs and lost productivity over the door's lifespan.
Quiet, Reliable Operation
High speed shouldn't mean high noise. The V 6030 SEL utilises **twin track rollers** and a specially designed side guide system to ensure smooth, quiet travel. The curtain is guided precisely at both sides, while a tensioning system keeps the fabric taut during operation. This mechanical stability allows the door to open at speeds of up to **3.0 m/s** (with optional control), dramatically improving traffic flow and reducing the time the door stays open.
Advanced Safety as Standard
Hormann refuses to compromise on safety. Every V 6030 SEL is fitted with a **Safety Light Grille** integrated into the side frame elements. This non-contact system monitors the entire door closing zone (up to 2500mm high) and instantly reverses the door if any obstruction is detected. By eliminating vulnerable spiral cables and bottom-edge sensors, the door becomes more reliable and less prone to accidental damage.

Control & Monitoring
The door is supplied with the **BK 150 FU E H Frequency Converter Control** as standard, delivering soft-start and soft-stop performance to reduce wear on mechanical parts. For advanced fleet management, the **SmartControl** system enables remote monitoring, cycle tracking, and error diagnostics via an online portal, helping you plan maintenance and prevent unexpected failures.
Colour Options
The curtain is available in five standard RAL colours to match your corporate identity:
- Zinc Yellow (RAL 1018)
- Pure Orange (RAL 2004)
- Carmine Red (RAL 3002)
- Gentian Blue (RAL 5010)
- Agate Grey (RAL 7038)
Ideal Applications
- External Logistics Bays: Where wind resistance and speed are critical.
- High-Traffic Routes: Connecting internal production zones to external yards.
- Manufacturing Plants: Protecting against drafts and heat loss while allowing rapid forklift access.
External Logistics Hubs
The Hormann V 6030 SEL is primarily designed as a robust external barrier for logistics centers and warehouses. Its ability to withstand wind speeds of up to 100 km/h (Class 2) makes it the perfect choice for exposed loading bays and goods-in/goods-out areas where standard fabric doors would fail or billow excessively.
High-Traffic Manufacturing
In manufacturing plants where forklifts and delivery vehicles are constantly moving between internal and external zones, collision risks are high. The V 6030 SEL's Anti-Crash SoftEdge system is a game-changer here. By absorbing impacts and disengaging harmlessly, it prevents the lengthy downtime associated with repairing rigid door beams, keeping production lines running smoothly.
Energy Conservation
For facilities looking to reduce their carbon footprint, speed is key. With opening speeds of up to 3.0 m/s (optional), this door minimises the time the opening is exposed to the elements. This rapid cycle effectively separates internal climate-controlled zones from the external environment, significantly reducing heat loss in winter and preventing warm air ingress in summer.
Noise & Dust Control
The door's tight seal and rapid operation make it an effective barrier against external noise and airborne contaminants. This is particularly valuable for:
- Food Processing Plants: Keeping pests, dust, and birds out of production areas.
- Urban Warehouses: Reducing noise pollution from internal machinery affecting nearby residential areas.
- Automotive Workshops: Protecting clean paint or assembly shops from external grit and weather.
Emergency Service Stations
Reliability is critical for fire, ambulance, and police stations. The robust spring steel reinforcements ensure the door operates reliably even during stormy weather, while the manual reset function guarantees that a minor collision won't trap vehicles inside during an emergency call-out.
